Annotation outside of data doesn't show

[Ricky]

Hi, I'm creating a graph which tracks a users weight.

I have some test data:

                new WeighIn { DateWeighed = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-7), Weight = 50},

                new WeighIn { DateWeighed = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-6), Weight = 55},

                new WeighIn { DateWeighed = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-5), Weight = 58},

                new WeighIn { DateWeighed = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-4), Weight = 55},

                new WeighIn { DateWeighed = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-3), Weight = 53},

                new WeighIn { DateWeighed = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-2), Weight = 48}

If I create a horizontal line annotation between those numbers (48 - 58) the annotation appears.

But let's say I set myself a target weigh of 40. I want to add a horizontal line annotation at 40, but it doesn't appear. I was hoping with the annotation specified the Y axis would expand to show this horizontal line. So I'm after a graph that shows my weight but underneath my target weight line, which I'm yet to achieve.

Can you suggest another way to accomplish then, or am I going about it the wrong way?

Thanks.

Note, I have managed to achieve this, but still feels it's the wrong method and that's by creating another line series, duplicating the dates but setting all the values to the target weight, i.e.:

                new WeighIn { DateWeighed = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-7), Weight = 40},

                new WeighIn { DateWeighed = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-6), Weight = 40},

                new WeighIn { DateWeighed = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-5), Weight = 40},

                new WeighIn { DateWeighed = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-4), Weight = 40},

                new WeighIn { DateWeighed = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-3), Weight = 40},

                new WeighIn { DateWeighed = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-2), Weight = 40}

Hi Ricky, 

Greetings from Syncfusion.  

Query 1: But let's say I set myself a target weigh of 40. I want to add a horizontal line annotation at 40, but it doesn't appear. I was hoping with the annotation specified the Y axis would expand to show this horizontal line. So I'm after a graph that shows my weight but underneath my target weight line, which I'm yet to achieve. 

 

We would like to let you know that Y-Axis ranges are calculated based on minimum and maximum of the ItemsSource values. So, it does not expand based on Annotations. You can achieve your requirement by set Minimum value as 35 or 0 to SecondaryAxis. Please refer below code snippet. 

 

Code snippet[XAML] 

<chart:SfChart.SecondaryAxis> 

            <chart:NumericalAxis Minimum="35"/> 

</chart:SfChart.SecondaryAxis> 

 

 

Code snippet[C#] 

chart.SecondaryAxis = new NumericalAxis() { Minimum = 35}; 

 

We have prepared a sample based on this and it can be downloaded from the link below.

Hope this helps.
