Hi,

I've been trying unsuccessfully to figure out a way to format the dates displayed on the bottom axis of our line plot. I would like to be able to just display the years and only the years I would like to display. Is that possible and if so, how would I do it?

Thank you!

Hi Joy,

First of all you may need to set your series XValues to be DateTime:

Code: Select all

			points1.XValues.DateTime = true;

Then you will also have to set labels format:

Code: Select all

			tChart1.Axes.Bottom.Labels.DateTimeFormat = "yyyy";

For more information please read Tutorial 4. Tutorials are available at TeeChart's program group.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

Thank you that worked just great but now I'm trying to figure out how to avoid duplicates - right now it displays each date 2 or 3 times and I just want it to display each date once. I tried to do that by capturing the GetNextAxisLabel event but that made my webform unbelievably slow. Is there another way I could make that work?

Thank you!

Hi Joy,

You could try setting axis Increment as shown here.
