Move bar-chart zero point to the bottom left corner

[icecream]

Hello,

After I added a series to the bar-chart, its zero point located in the center of the left axis.
Example:


Zero point is located in the bottom left corner as soon as I start showing a data, however until data are added to the chart it looks like shown on the screenshot.
Please, help me make it look consistently without data.

Thanks.

Hello,

To get proper axis scaling without populating the series in the chart, you need to manually set axes scales, for example:

Code: Select all

            tChart1.Axes.Left.SetMinMax(0, 10);

If your problems persist please attach a simple example project we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here.

I have already tried this way, however this sets constant maximum for the Y axis. I want it to be changed automatically depending on data.

I do not know data in advance, so I cannot set the maximum.

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback.

Can you please attach a Short, Self Contained, Correct (Compilable), Example?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you Narcis!
I did this in the following way: set the Y axis to some default value and use automatic settings when values to display are not null.

Code: Select all

if (allNulls)
{
    Chart.Axes.Left.Automatic = false;
    Chart.Axes.Left.SetMinMax(0, m_barChartYMaximum);
}
else
{
    Chart.Axes.Left.Automatic = true;
}
