Autoscale and Axis Max Min

[User (Legacy)]

I'm using ChartFx for WinForms.

I want to be able to set the axis maximum and minimum manually rather than

relying on ChartFx to do thsis automatically, so I set AxisY.AutoScale =

False.

Please confirm that when AxisY.AutoScale is False do I have to also set

AxisY.Min and AxisY.Max.

Should I set the AutoScale, Min, and Max properties before or after the

adding data to the chart with OpenData/CloseData?

Does setting the Min and Max properties apply to existing values in the

chart, or only to values added after setting these properties?

Should I be setting any other properties at this time to scale the axis

manually?

Thanks

Yes. If you set AutoScale = false, you MUST set the Min and Max.

You can do this either before of after setting the data, if you do it after

you will override the values calculated by Chart FX.

So if you are not going to use the values calculated by Chart FX at all then

you can do it before or after. If you want to adjust the values chart FX

calculates, then you should do it AFTER and if the data is set again, you

need to Reset the Axis before re-setting the data to allow Chart FX to

recalculate.

I don't understand what you mean by this. The Min and Max applies to an

axis, they are not associated with each point.

Should I be setting any other properties at this time to scale the axis

manually?

If all you want to do is to control the Min and Max, this is all you need.
