Problems with DataSource and X-Axis


User (Legacy)

Recommended Posts

I have a DataTable that is represented as follows

string double double double double

12:34:08 0 0.4 0.71 287.16

etc

As far as I can gather, the first column is the what will be represented as

the x-axis and the other values will be used as data series.

When I change the DataSource to

double double double double

0 0.4 0.71 287.16

by removing the first column (I want to use the new first column as the

x-axis) it still some how remember the time string values and uses them for

x-axis.

How can I make it plot what I want as the x-axis.

Adjusting the DataType does not seem to help.

DataType[0] = DataType.Label;

Should do the trick, make sure this is done BEFORE the data is read into the

chart.

I'm afraid I don't understand this problem.

What is the data that you have in your table ? The labels will appear in the

order in which they are in your data, if you want them to be ascending you

need to sort your dataset, remember these are labels (strings) not numbers

so Chart FX doesn't have a numeric value for them.

If what you are looking for is to use this columns as X values, X/Y charts

are a feature of the full version of Chart FX not present in Chart FX Lite.

That is what I was after, having them sorted. Now i just have to work out a 

way to sort the dataset. I can't expect Software FX to help if it has to do

with datatable class being sorted. Anyone else want to help though. i've

tried using table.select but that doesn't seem to do anything. All i want to

do is sort a datatable by the first column ascending and set as chartfx.lite

datasource.
