Hiding the data area of a chart to show only the y-axis and its labels.

[User (Legacy)]

Hello,

I have a case where I am attempting to paint a given chart into two 

different device contexts effectively.

One will show the data w/o any axis labels.  this is trivial to accomplish 

via something like:

chart.AxisY.Visible = chart.AxisX.Visible = false;

// ...

chart.Paint(g, r, PaintStyles.None);

the other, where I wish to paint only the y-axis labels (no data or "plot 

area" at all!) is proving trickier..  I have numerous "close" aproaches but 

nothing satisfactory.

Idealy I could do something like:

chart.AxisY.Paint (...)    - but no such method exists; or

chart.PlotAreaVisible = false; ... - likewise doesn't exist; or even ...

chart.PlotAreaWidth = 0;  etc...

the closest I've come is:

chart.Data.Series = m_chart.Data.Points = 1;

chart.Data[0, 0] = Chart.Hidden;

chart.Series[0].Visible = false;

chart.Paint(...)

this produces the attached image (the part outlined in red is that which I 

do not wish to see).  Can you suggest any better aproach to this?

One other related question.  How do you tell how wide an area the y-axis 

labels need in order to render (w/o being clipped out of existence)?

Kind Regards,

Jesse

Add this:

chart.AxesStyle = AxesStyle.None;

chart.PlotAreaColor = Color.Transparent;

chart.AxisX.Line.Color = Color.Transparent; // Zero Line
