User (Legacy) Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 Hello! I'm having troubles with MarkerStep property. I have a line chart (see the attached CHD file) which display 10-minute data. And I want to achieve the following: - Display x-axis grid on 1-hour boundary, i.e. for every 6th point. So I set Major Step = 6, Minor Step = 1 and Major Grid = ON and get the x-axis labels and grid lines at positions 21:00, 22:00, 23:00 etc. It's OK so far. - Then I want point markers to be shown on x-axis grid lines, i.e. on 1-hour boundaries. And here I have the problems. If I set Marker Step = 6, I get markers at positions 20:50, 21:50, 22:50 etc. (none is right) If I set Marker Step = 7, positions are 21:00, 22:10, 23:20 etc. (only the first is right) How can I make markers appear at positions 21:00, 22:00, 23:00? And why MarkerStep = 6 behaves differently compared to Major Step = 6? Thanks in advance, Serge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 What you want is to start on the first point right ? Setting MarkerStep to 6 will put the first marker in point number 6 (6th point), I think what you need is to start of at the first point so that you have markers at 1,7,13,18,... To do this, set the MarkerStep to -6 Setting to a negative value makes it start at the first point. I believe we failed to mention this in the docs. -- FP Software FX, Inc.

User (Legacy) Posted January 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 Thanks, A negative value makes exactly what I need. Serge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oops Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 I think the main question here went unanswered... why the difference between the MarkerStep and the majorstep... i have a similar situation ...i have months on the X axis...for eg Jan Feb Mar...etc I want the markers corresponding to every month.... Now setting the MajorStep to 30 gives me the month display on the x axis but when i set markerstep as 30, all the months with 31 days and 28 days get their marker messed up by 1/2 days ..Any way out ???

Frank Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I understand what you mean, however this is not the way MarkerStep works. MarkerStep is constant and not adjusted by the axis format. This is indeed a good one for a future version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
