User (Legacy) Posted April 11, 2002 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2002 I'm trying to figure out how to display a resonable looking line chart where the x axis is using a DateTime field from an MSAccess database. I have many datapoints (about 150) to display and am having a hard time getting the chart to show something reasonable on the x axis. Generally it just shows one date smack in the middle of the x axis. Am I just hitting the limits of the Lite product? -- -Brett- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User (Legacy) Posted April 12, 2002 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 In playing around with this some more it seems like there are two things I might be able to do. The core of the problem is that ChartFX is drawing the date/time labels horizontally, leaving room for only one or two labels. If it could draw them vertically it could fit many more, though it would be slightly harder to read. The other option would be for it to just draw the time. This would significantly cut down on the size of the label. So am I asking to much from a free piece of software? And does anyone from SoftwareFX monitor this newsgroup? -- -Brett- "Brett Robichaud" <DigimarcICE@digimarc.com> wrote in message news:tKDxRgX4BHA.2472@webserver1.softwarefx.com... > I'm trying to figure out how to display a resonable looking line chart where > the x axis is using a DateTime field from an MSAccess database.
