Problem with setting time span in x-axis

[smilegloria]

Hi all,

I want to create a time series with different time span. For example, user can select the time span of Quarterly, Half-yearly and Yearly. If the user chose Quarterly, the result time series will have dates 1/2004, 4/2004, 7/2004, 10/2004 in x-axis. If the user chose Half-yearly, the result time series will have dates 1/2004, 6/2004, etc. How can do this?

Many thanks!

BRgds,
Gloria

Hello,

The main thing in Time series is the number of TIME PERIODs u add that many time slots will be shown.

In ur case u need to add 4 slots for QUAT.. and 2 slots for HALF..like same.

So the number of slots u add that many periods will be shouwn.

Check the example of time series graph ..u will surely understand its very easy.

Sorry, I'm not really understand what is the slot you mean..
The data are distributed thoughout the year..
What I want is to divide the date axis label into quarterly, half-yearly or yearly format..

I think you need to add data pertaining to months say from Jan to Dec (all 12 months) and want to show the tick as 1,4,7,10 (when selected Quarterly) and 1,7 (when selected as Halfyearly). But the data will be still plotted for all the months. Is that right?

If yes you can set the Domain Axis with

Code: Select all

domainAxis.setTickUnit(new DateTickUnit(1,3)); // Quarterly
domainAxis.setTickUnit(new DateTickUnit(1,6)); // Half-Yearly

If *NOT* Pls ignore this.

Thx!

I have used another method:
// quarterly
standardUnits.add(
new DateTickUnit(DateTickUnit.MONTH, 3, new SimpleDateFormat("MM-yyyy"))
);

// half-yearly
standardUnits.add(
new DateTickUnit(DateTickUnit.MONTH, 6, new SimpleDateFormat("MM-yyyy"))
);

// yearly
standardUnits.add(
new DateTickUnit(DateTickUnit.YEAR, 1, new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy"))
);

Cheers,
Gloria
