Glossary Item Box

You can set the scale of the data before displaying the data.

For example, if the data values are in the millions, you may wish to display them using a much smaller scale such as hundreds (100,000,000 vs 100). Use the DisplayUnits property in the ValueAxis class to set the scale.

Return to the overview at Connecting to Data.

Using Code

Use the DisplayUnits property to create a smaller scale on the axis.

Example

The following example uses the DisplayUnits property.

C# Copy Code
FarPoint.Web.Chart.BarSeries series = new FarPoint.Web.Chart.BarSeries();
series.Values.Add(10000.0);
series.Values.Add(20000.0);
series.Values.Add(40000.0);
series.Values.Add(80000.0);
FarPoint.Web.Chart.YPlotArea plotArea = new FarPoint.Web.Chart.YPlotArea();
plotArea.Location = new PointF(0.2F, 0.2F);
plotArea.Size = new SizeF(0.6F, 0.6F);
plotArea.XAxis.Title = "Entry";
plotArea.XAxis.TitleVisible = true;
plotArea.YAxes[0].DisplayUnits = 1000.0;
plotArea.Series.Add(series);
FarPoint.Web.Chart.ChartModel model = new FarPoint.Web.Chart.ChartModel();
model.PlotAreas.Add(plotArea);
FarPoint.Web.Spread.Chart.SpreadChart chart = new FarPoint.Web.Spread.Chart.SpreadChart();
chart.Model = model;
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Charts.Add(chart);
VB Copy Code

Dim plotArea As New FarPoint.Web.Chart.YPlotArea()

plotArea.Size = New SizeF(0.6F, 0.6F)
plotArea.XAxis.Title = "Entry" 'IndexAxis
plotArea.XAxis.TitleVisible = True 'IndexAxis
plotArea.YAxes(0).DisplayUnits = 1000.0 'ValueAxis
plotArea.Series.Add(series)
Dim model As New FarPoint.Web.Chart.ChartModel()
model.PlotAreas.Add(plotArea)
Dim chart As New FarPoint.Web.Spread.Chart.SpreadChart()

FpSpread1.Sheets(0).Charts.Add(chart)
