User (Legacy) Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 Hi, Is it possible to set up a disjoint Y-Axis? The example below shows what I need the graph to look like. 0| | -ve | | -1 or 1|-------------------------------------------------------------- | +ve | | 0| At present, we convert the values so we have a continuous scale and then render the chart but change the labels on the Y-Axis. This looks fine but means that the DataEditor cannot be used and one cannot zoom in on points and find the actual value. One option may be to somehow create two axes and plot the same information twice once on each axis. The horizontal axis is time. Ian Lowe
Software FX Posted November 15, 2003 Report Posted November 15, 2003 I really don't understand how this scale is suppose to work. What's -ve and +ve ? -- FP Software FX, Inc.
User (Legacy) Posted November 17, 2003 Author Report Posted November 17, 2003 Hi All numbers are between -1 and +1. +ve - translates positive numbers between 0 and 1 -ve - tranlates negative numbers between 0 and -1 There are no numbers outside for this range. +1 and -1 are really the same point and represent the centre of the scale. +1 is used by default for both +1 and -1. Positive numbers are displayed below the horizontal axis and negative numbers above the horizontal axis. 0| | -ve | | -1 or 1|-------------------------------------------------------------- | +ve | | 0| "Software FX Support" <support@softwarefx.com> wrote in message news:ovHQOn5qDHA.1560@WEBSERVER1... > I really don't understand how this scale is suppose to work.

Software FX Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 I do not see a better solution here. What you are currently doing seems to be the only way to achieve this. Is this a line chart ? If it is a scatter (no connection between lower and upper halves) you could use two different panes (available in Chart FX 6.2). All negative points go in one series and all positive in another. Then you define 2 Y-Axis, one going from 0 to 1 the other going from -1 to 0 and assign each series respectively. I don't really know if this will do what you are looking for but it is just another idea. -- FP Software FX, Inc.
User (Legacy) Posted November 18, 2003 Author Report Posted November 18, 2003 Hi, You got me thinking. We work in the electrical industry and are trying to produce power factor plots. I used the idea of 2 axes and created a plot similar to what I require. I split the Power Factor series into two different series call Lead and Lag where Lead is the positive values and Lag is the negative values. This plot would probably be fine but we would also like to overlay the power factor plot with other values that use a different scale. So then, I will need three or more Y-Axes to show all the required plots simultaneously. Can I have more that two Y-Axes?

Software FX Posted November 19, 2003 Report Posted November 19, 2003 Yes. You have an "unlimited" number of Y-axes. Use the collection: chart.Axis[index] To access any axis and then refer to them by its index when you assign a series to it. -- FP Software FX, Inc.
