Y Axis Major Ticks / Labels

[Mark]

Hi,
I have a chart that displays the qty (y axis) against salesperson (x axis).

The problem i am having is, when the hightest qty is a low number (eg; 2) the major ticks shown are 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 etc...
I dont want this, i just want whole numbers to be shown.
I cant use autoscale (i assume this) as i dont know what the qty will be until the chart is generated.

Can you please help ?
Thanks
Mark

Hello Mark,

You can take advantage of BeforeLayout event. At the moment this event is fired, the axis calculations are already performed, so you have the information about the calculated max value. Now you can set AutoScale to false, clear the existing axis items and populate the axis again according to your requirements. Here is an example:

protected void RadChart1_BeforeLayout(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        double max = Math.Floor(RadChart1.PlotArea.YAxis.MaxValue);
        RadChart1.PlotArea.YAxis.Clear();
        RadChart1.PlotArea.YAxis.AutoScale = false;
        RadChart1.PlotArea.YAxis.AddRange(0, max, 1);
    }

Hope this helps.
