Re: Many Dates on X-Axis

[User (Legacy)]

Here's what I do in those situations:   Basically, set the Min and Step 

attirbutes for the X axis to 0, and some large value (I use #prices / 10), 

so in your case 3750/10 = 375.  This way, there will be 10 distinct labels 

along your X axis..... 

Then, set the X axis label at each tick point to be the label you want. So, 

in your case, point 0, point 375, point 750... here's the C++ code I use, 

you'll do something similiar..... 

 int xtick = m_nprices / 10; 

 if (!xtick) xtick = 1; 

 pChartFX->Axis->Item[AXIS_X]->Min = 0; 

 pChartFX->Axis->Item[AXIS_X]->STEP = xtick; 

 for (i=0;i<m_nprices;i++) { 

  if (! (i%xtick)) { 

    sprintf (buf, "%02d/%02d/%02d", 

     m_prices[i].date.GetMonth (), 

     m_prices[i].date.GetDay (), 

     m_prices[i].date.GetYear () % 100 

     ); 

   pChartFX->Axis->Item[AXIS_X]->Label[i] = buf; 

  } 

 }
