Logarithmic scale with base 10 issue

Post by PoLabs » Tue Jul 13, 2010 11:47 am

Hi,

I am using logarithmic scale with base of 10 on bottom axis. I have data which index goes from 1 to 1000000 in (on bottom axis) and I would like to represent this as logarithmic scale. On first attached image (Image1) I don't set AxisValuesFormat and I get values for labels on bottom axis from 1 to 1000000 when I set AxisValuesFormat to 00e-0 I get 10^0 10^1 etc but regarding previous scale it is wrong. Take a look at second attached image (Image2). If you compare you will see that in first case scale goes from 1 to 1000000 in second case it goes from 10^-1 to 10^5 which is by factor 10 less. Where there is 1 it should be 10^0 etc...

Is something wrong with my approach or maybe I have wrong format 00e-0? Thanks for help.

Hi Po,

This is a known problem already in the defect list to be fixed in future releases (TV52014469).

As a workaround, you can use OnGetAxisLabels and multiply the labels by 10:

Code: Select all

procedure TForm1.Chart1GetAxisLabel(Sender: TChartAxis;
  Series: TChartSeries; ValueIndex: Integer; var LabelText: String);
begin
  if Sender = Chart1.Axes.Bottom then
    LabelText := FormatFloat('00e-0', StrToFloat(LabelText) * 10);
end;
