I have a point chart with ScrollMode=XOnly. After I drag a rectangle on the chart, the zoom window doesn't match the position of the rectangle. It is shifted left or right.

Here is the aspx page.

                    onclick="ResetButton_Click" /> 
    </form> 
    </body> 
</html> 
 

Here is the code-behind.
#region "Using statements" 
 
using System; 
using System.Web.UI; 
using Telerik.Charting; 
#endregion 
 
 
namespace IWChronicle.UI { 
 
    partial class LabChart : Page { 
 
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { 
            if (!IsPostBack) { 
                LabRadChart.Series[0].Items.AddRange(GetItems(20)); 
                LabRadChart.DataBind(); 
            } 
        } 
 
        private ChartSeriesItem[] GetItems(int count) { 
            DateTime startDate = new DateTime(2000, 1, 1); 
            ChartSeriesItem[] items = new ChartSeriesItem[count]; 
            for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) 
                items[i] = new ChartSeriesItem(startDate.AddDays(i * 30).ToOADate(), i); 
 
            return items; 
        } 
 
        protected void ResetButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { 
            LabRadChart.ClientSettings.XScale = 1.0f; 
        } 
 
 


Also attached are 2 screenshots showing the rectangle and the zoomed window.

This may cause confusion for end users. Is there a work-around?

Thanks!

Hi dingjing,

Indeed the zooming precision in some scenarios seems to be a bit off -- we would suggest you to try switching the layout mode of the XAxis to "Normal" in order to improve the behavior (XAxis.LayoutMode = "Normal").

Hope this helps.

When XAxis is set to "Normal" and XScale is greater than 1, the visible portion of XAxis is longer than the length of PlotArea.

Because of the zooming precision issue, I turned off zooming and put a RadSlider under the chart to control its XScale and XScrollOffset. However, the control is one-way. I can only set the chart's XScale and XScrollOffset in the slider's ValueChanged event handler. I cannot figure out how to update the slider's value after users scroll the chart.

Hi dingjing,

You can use these:

  • chart.get_xScrollOffset(),
  • chart.get_yScrollOffset(),
  • chart.get_xScale() and
  • chart.get_yScale
to determine the current chart zoom/scroll state. Please, find more details in our help topic, dedicated to the Client Side API in RadCart here. You can also find an example, shown how to update RadSlider's values client-side here.

I am aware of their client-side APIs. 

RadSlider has several client-side events in which I can control a RadChart's zoom and scroll. However, I don't find any RadChart's client-side events to update the slider.

Hello dingjing,

Sorry for misleading you a bit with our previous reply -- unfortunately RadChart does not expose any client-side events for zooming / scrolling so it would not be possible to achieve the desired effect.

Never mind. I captured the chart scrolling event using jQuery.
