DomainAxis changing values

[Mark Perez]

I created a line graph that displays data over 5 days. When the window first loads the vategory values is displayed as a date(mm/dd/yyyy), but when I maximize the window is repaints the values in hours. Displaying it in hours makes it confusing when the graph spans multiple days. Is there a way I can have the date be displayed along with the hour, perhaps on the same line or even better if I can use markers. Any ideas how I can accomplish?

Including the date in the hour formatting looks wrong for intraday charts, but not including the date for multi day charts looks wrong too. I've made the default work for intraday charts...so you'll need to modify the formatting for your chart. Here's what to do:

In the DateAxis class, there is a method createStandardDateTickUnits(). Copy this method to somewhere in your own code, and alter the date formats as you see fit (you can remove any units that you won't require). Now you can call the setStandardTickUnits(...) method (it is defined in the ValueAxis class) on your date axis to install your new collection, along with the revised formatting.

I will give that a try, thanks for the detailed and very quick response.

Assuming i have a graph that show 3 days, it would be great if we could get the graph to display in hour intervals (maybe every 6 hours) and then at each x axis that marked a new date display a category with that date. Something like this:

1 1 2 4 1
6 2 8 4 / 6 2
: : : : 2 : :
0 0 0 0 8 0 0
0 0 0 0 / 0 0
2
0
0
2

Is there a way i can do this with the current methods(maybe using markers?) or do i need to develop something entirely new?

Hi Mark,

You would need to modify the date axes to support this. I understand the requirement, so it is on the to-do list (but that list is very long!).
