Hi,

In my appliication. I use custom axis . The scale of left axes is different than y axis. I have a problem that data on left axis have value which are comparatively smaller than that of right axes as a result the data drawn on left axes appear quite smaller than right axes. so i decided to convert values to log10 but i found that the axes coordinates also showed converted values which were of no significance to users.

Is it possible that i can have the data plotted on logarthmic scale but the axes coordinates still display real unconverted values.

Thanks,
Sachin

Hi Sachin,

Yes, you can set labels format and also customize them using GetAxisLabel event. For more information please read Tutorial 4 - Axis Control. Tutorials are available at TeeChart's program group.

Hope this helps!

Hi Narcis,

I think you misunderstood me. I am not concerned about label format but the values on the axes are logarthmic values which are plotted on the chart. I wanted the chart should be drawn using the logarthmic values & Axis should display real values.

for eg ( consider I draw a line with 3 points on chart for log(10), log(15) and log(20). I want the scale values on axis to be 10,15 and 20 but the line to be drawn with their logarthmic value.
I hope this is clear.

Thanks,
Sachin

Hi Sachin,

In that case you can use the GetAxisLabel event like this:

Code: Select all

		public Form1()
		{
			InitializeComponent();
			InitializeChart();
		}

		private void InitializeChart()
		{
			tChart1.Aspect.View3D = false;
			
			tChart1.Axes.Left.Logarithmic = true;
			tChart1.Axes.Left.LogarithmicBase = Math.E;
			tChart1.Axes.Left.Increment = 0.1;
			tChart1.Axes.Left.Labels.Style = Steema.TeeChart.AxisLabelStyle.Value;

			Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Line line1 = new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Line(tChart1.Chart);

			line1.Add(Math.Log(10));
			line1.Add(Math.Log(15));
			line1.Add(Math.Log(20));

			tChart1.GetAxisLabel += new Steema.TeeChart.GetAxisLabelEventHandler(tChart1_GetAxisLabel);
		}

		void tChart1_GetAxisLabel(object sender, Steema.TeeChart.GetAxisLabelEventArgs e)
		{
			if (sender.Equals(tChart1.Axes.Left))
			{
				double tmp = Convert.ToDouble(e.LabelText);
				e.LabelText = Math.Pow(Math.E, tmp).ToString("##");				
			}
		}
