Date intervals as XAxis

[User (Legacy)]

I am showing date intervals in my X Axis, like 1 Year, 2 Years, 3 Years...

It works fine, I am passing the data as # of days, then I add custom 

labels every 365.25 (LabelValue=365.25).  It works ok, except when the 

window is big, and the data is over a small period of time.

For example, if my data goes from 0 to 2 years, and the window is 

resized to be full screen, there would be only 3 ticks on the XAxis.  0, 

1 & 2.  But there is space for many more.  The AxisFormat_DateTime would 

be lovely, but I don't want the labels to ever say 1-Jan-1901 or 

something like that.

The automatic step will never go under the LabelValue setting, this is why 

you don't see more labels even when there is room for them.

If you want the labels to behave as dates, you MUST set the LabelsFormat to 

DateTime. This is the only way Chart FX will know these are dates and not 

numbers.

You can use the CustomFormat to select how you want these dates to be 

displayed. You don't have to display them as 1-Jan-1901, you can display the 

as Jan-01, or any other custom format you require.
