Re: Chart Drawing Problem

[User (Legacy)]

Hey Steve,

The problem here is that I actually want some of the data to be displayed

outside of the chart.  In certain cases, the max value is large compared to

some of the smaller values and scaling to max makes it impossible to see the

smaller values.  Everything will work fine if scale it to the real max value

in the chart (or more).  Like you, I am trying to scale for visual effect,

just in the opposite direction.

This seems like a bug to me.  I would think that the chart values should not

ever be drawn outside of the axes.

Dustin,

Have you tried to force the axis to scale properly?

.Axis(AXIS_Y).Max = "Your Max Value"

The algorithm to determine scale may be 2 or 3 std deviations from the mean

plotted value vs simply Max value.

Many times I find my self doing this just to extend the scale a bit for

visual effect.  Usually like:

.Axis(AXIS_Y).Max = cblMaxValue * 1.1
