Lining up charts

[Peggy Giegucz]

I have several charts on a table layout panel that is 1 column by N-rows.

The Y axis of one chart may go from 0-9. The next chart's Y-axis 0-20000.

I need the Y axes of all the charts to line up since the X-axes all represent the same time period.

I can set the ChartAxis.Format to be 00000.00 and they'll line up, but 00100.00 looks bad. #####.00 doesn't seem to help.

I've tried changing PrimaryYAxis.Rectangle as well, but that didn't help either.

Hi Peggy,

To avoid 00100.00 format, just check a condition before assigning the fomat. That is if the value is <100 then assign format as ##.00 and if it is greater than 100 and less than 2000 assign as ###.00. This will align the axis in the same line as well as it will change the format 00100.00.

Kindly, let me know if it helps.

Thanks,
Manimala.

OK, but that doesn't fix my bigger problem.

I need to vertically line up multiple charts that have a variety of scales. When they are on the screen, I need the Y-axes to line up.

I've posted an image at http://www.montrosehillsystems.com/plot.jpg that shows the problem.

Hi Peggy,

Thanks for using Essential Chart.

The aligning of the Y-Axis depends on the ChartAreaMargins property of the axis. But in version 4.4.0.51 ChartAreaMargins property is read only and hence we cannot assign values to that at run time. But in latest version it works fine.

I have created a sample in version 7.2.0.20 to demonstrate this.

Kindly, get the sample from the following location.
