[chart fx 7 window less property ?]

Hi Inayath

Unfortunately, this is a known issue when using Microsoft Ajax and rendering the chart as .NET format (or ActiveX or any embedded controls). The issue is on Microsoft side and we already reported the issue to them. I am not sure when the issue will get fixed since it depends on Microsoft.

[cant remove mysterious line from chart]

Hi n8dag8

The mysterous line that you mentioned in the title is the indicator of the zero line.  It divides positive and negative values plotted in the chart.  If you want to remove this line, please try following code:

chart1.AxisY.Style = chart1.AxisY.Style & ~AxisStyles.BreakZero;

Hi fxinq1009

I apologize since I copied code valid for Chart FX 7 and not for Chart FX 6.x for Java.  Unfortunately, Chart FX 6.x for Java does not have the Custom Grid Lines option.  From checking the API, I found a possible workaround.  Please check following code:

AxisSection section1 = chart1.getAxisX().getSections().getItem(0);section1.setFrom(0);section1.setTo(0);section1.setFontStyle(java.awt.Font.BOLD|java.awt.Font.ITALIC);section1.setGridlines(true);section1.setTextColor(java.awt.Color.red);section1.setBackColor(new java.awt.Color(255,0,0,32));section1.getGrid().setColor(section1.getTextColor());section1.getGrid().setWidth(2);

Please note that I am setting FROM and TO values with

Hi russ_uk

In the first method, you are adding point #0 to the series  0, 1 and 2; point #1 to series 3, 4 and 5; and finally, point #2 to series 4, 5  and 6.

Now, in the second method, you are adding point # 0 to the series 0; point #1 to the series 1; and point # 2 to series 2.

In both cases, you are not adding points to specific series, and those points are adding

Hi russ_uk

The chart contains 10 series and 3 points.  Can you please provide me with the method where you are adding the data to the chart, or maybe the data source (as a table).

Please try the following code at your end:

Random ran = new Random();

Chart1.Data.Series = 1;

Chart1.Data.Points = 100;

for (int i = 0; i < Chart1.Data.Series; i++)

{

  for (int j = 0; j < Chart1.Data.Points; j++)

  {

  Chart1.Data[i, j] = ran.NextDouble() * 100;

[Multiple Y Axes]

Hi Mick

Unfortunately, you cannot assign 2 different series to the same legend item.  As a workaround, you can clear all default items and create your own new legend items.  Following the code showing how to clear and add new items.

// Clear the default items.

LegendItemAttributes lia = new LegendItemAttributes();

lia = chart1.LegendBox.ItemAttributes[(ILegendItemGenerator)chart1.Series];

lia.Visibility = Visibility.Hidden;

// Add your custom legend item.

CustomLegendItem myCustomItem1 = new CustomLegendItem();

myCustomItem1.Content = "New Label 1";

myCustomItem1.Marker.Shape = MarkerShape.Circle;

myCustomItem1.Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.LightSteelBlue);

chart1.LegendBox.CustomItems.Add(myCustomItem1);

[How to add my own Command to the Context Menu?]

Hi MasterMind

You can customize the toolbar or contextMenu, adding items. Then you can code the action you want for each item. Following is a code sample showing how you can add a toolbar item.

// Creates a new command with CommandId CommandCollection commands = chart1.Commands; Command command = new Command (1); command.Style = CommandStyles .TwoState; command.Text = "New Toolbar Entry" ; command.ImageIndex = 1;

// Adds the new command to the commands collection chart1.Commands.Add(command);

// Creates a new toolbar entry and inserts it after the specified position ToolBarItem tbItem = new ToolBarItem (); tbItem.CommandId = 1; chart1.ToolBar.Insert(0, tbItem);

Following is a code sample how you can code the action for the toolbar item.

private void chart1_UserCommand( object sender, CommandUIEventArgs e) {   if (e.CommandId == "Your Command ID" )   {   // Your code goes here...   } }

Unfortunately, there is not a simple way you can hide the plot area of the chart.  This is a workaround, but it implies changing the data of the chart.  The following code you need:
