How to set the X with category data?

[Marc]

Hello,

Not sure, I thought I had understood correctly. That the goal is to line up the charts (?). The principle is the same in this case. To modify chart settings to obtain the required result.

ie.

Very unrefined code to achieve these charts is included here:

Code: Select all

Line line1;
Line line2;
Line line3;

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    line1 = new Line(tChart1.Chart);
    line2 = new Line(tChart1.Chart);

    line3 = new Line(tChart2.Chart);

    var product1 = "P1";
    var product2 = "P2";

    InitializeChart(line1, product1, Color.Red);
    InitializeChart(line2, product2, Color.Blue);

    InitializeChart2(line3,Color.Red);
    line3.Add(0, 10, "P1");
    line3.Add(1, 18, "P2");
    line3.Marks.Visible = true;
    line3.Marks.Style = MarksStyles.LabelValue;

    tChart1.Legend.Visible = false;
    tChart2.Legend.Visible = false;

    tChart1.Axes.Bottom.SetMinMax(-1, 2);
    tChart1.Axes.Bottom.Grid.DrawEvery = 1;

    tChart2.Axes.Bottom.SetMinMax(-1, 2);
    tChart2.Axes.Bottom.Grid.DrawEvery = 1;

    tChart2.Axes.Left.SetMinMax(0, 20);
    tChart1.Axes.Left.Labels.Size.Width = 10;
    tChart1.Axes.Left.Labels.Size.Width = 10;

    tChart1.Axes.Bottom.Labels.Items.Add(0, product1);
    tChart1.Axes.Bottom.Labels.Items.Add(1, product2);

    tChart2.Axes.Bottom.Labels.Items.Add(0, "");
    tChart2.Axes.Bottom.Labels.Items.Add(1, "");
    tChart2.Axes.Bottom.Labels.Visible = false;

    tChart1.Axes.Bottom.Grid.Visible = true;
    tChart2.Axes.Bottom.Grid.Visible = true;
}

public class ProductInfo
{
    public string Product { get; set; }
    public int Y { get; set; }
    public int X { get; set; }
}

List<ProductInfo> list = new List<ProductInfo>()
{
    new ProductInfo() { X = 0,  Product = "P1", Y = 10 },
    new ProductInfo() { X = 0, Product = "P1", Y = 15 },
    new ProductInfo() { X = 0, Product = "P1", Y = 6 },
    new ProductInfo() { X = 1, Product = "P2", Y = 22 },
    new ProductInfo() { X = 1, Product = "P2", Y = 18 }
};

private void InitializeChart2(Line line, Color color)
{
    line.LinePen.Width = 3;
    line.Color = color;
    line.Pointer.Visible = true;
    line.Pointer.Style = PointerStyles.Circle;
}

private void InitializeChart(Line line, string select, Color color)
{
    line.LinePen.Width = 3;
    line.Color = color;
    line.Pointer.Visible = true;
    line.Pointer.Style = PointerStyles.Circle;
    line.YValues.DataMember = "Y";
    line.XValues.DataMember = "X";
    line.LabelMember = "Product";
    line.Title = select;
    line.Add(list.Where(x => x.Product == select).ToList() as IList);
}

private void tChart2_GetAxisLabel(object sender, GetAxisLabelEventArgs e)
{
    if (((Axis)sender).Horizontal)
        e.LabelText = "";
}

Question1：How do I find the maximum distance to the left of four graphs and set this maximum distance for all graphs

Question2：The X-axis label in the last figure is too long. I hope it can be displayed as a line wrap if it is too long, and the spacing between X-axis points and points can be widened

The X-axis names of the first five points in the red box are the same, I hope that each point can correspond to its own X-axis label, and then each point should have vertical lines, such as the gray line I hand-painted in the red box (it should be tchart.Axes.Bottom.Grid), I expect that each point has a corresponding X-axis. And they all have Axes.Bottom.Grid

Hello,

Hope to reply as soon as possible, thank you

The subject of this help topic is 'How to set the X with category data?', but you are now asking for help in how to 'hand paint' lines on the Chart and how to customize bottom axis labels. Would you please be so kind as to split your questions into different topics? This will make it easier for customers to find answers to their own questions by searching these forums (there are plenty of questions and answers on these forums concerning custom painting on the Chart and customization of Axis Labels).
