Tick marks scaled incorrectly

[Joel]

I'm trying to use a LinearScale outside of any gauge.  I intend to use it as the y axis for a chart that's hosted inside of a TimeBar control.  I'm noticing some weird scaling behavior.  The tick marks get thicker and wider as the container gets longer.  There doesn't seem to be any consideration of the width of the container, so the tick marks very quickly expand outside of the control.

 

I've attached an image of the LinearScale in two positions to illustrate the issue.

What can I do to prevent the tick marks from scaling like this?

Here is the xaml I've been testing with:

<telerik:LinearScale x:Name="scaleHeader"  VerticalAlignment="Top"
                        Width="80"  Min="0" Max="100" Top="0.05" Background="Transparent" BorderBrush="Transparent">
                            <telerik:LinearScale.MajorTick>
                                <telerik:MajorTickProperties Location="OverInside" Background="Black" TickWidth=".1"/>
                            </telerik:LinearScale.MajorTick>
                            <telerik:LinearScale.MiddleTick>
                                <telerik:MiddleTickProperties Location="OverInside" Background="Black"/>
                            </telerik:LinearScale.MiddleTick>
                            <telerik:LinearScale.MinorTick>
                                <telerik:MinorTickProperties Location="OverInside" Background="Black"/>
                            </telerik:LinearScale.MinorTick>
                            <telerik:LinearScale.Label>
                                <telerik:LabelProperties Foreground="Black" Offset="0.01"/>
                            </telerik:LinearScale.Label>
                        </telerik:LinearScale>

Hi Joel,

This is expected behaviour. All things work as designed. The RadGauge control uses relative measurements for all scale elements. You can find more information here:

http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radgauge-features-relative-measurements.html

You can't turn it off. Actually using of the LinearScale as axis for another control is not a good idea. I would recommend you to ask how to setup y-axis which have required view in the RadChart support group. 

Kind regards,

Thanks for the reply.  I'm not sure I understand your suggestion "to setup y-axis have required view".  The chart is scrolled because it's hosted in a timebar control.  If you're suggesting that the rad chart can implement some kind of frozen header feature, then that probably wouldn't help when the chart hosted in a timebar and doesn't control the scrolling.

If you're suggesting that I can break the y-axis out of the chart, then that would be perfect, but I haven't seen anything like that.  I'll keep looking, but I would appreciate it if you could elaborate.
