User (Legacy) Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 I'm using ChartFX 5.0.10.4 activeX control. I followed the directions in the 10/31 posting on this subject, namely making min>max. That worked just fine. I've even put in a Step to override the default. Turns out it has to be positive! And that works fine. There is just one problem. The YAxis and YAxis2 descriptive labels are correctly positioned BUT the values for the grid lines are swapped!!!! The Values associated with the YAxis label are put on the right instead of the left!!! NOT NICE. Is this something I have to code for in detail or is there a switch or something I can throw to get them positioned as expected.

Software FX Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 If you reverse the X-Axis, the Y-Axis will go to the other size (where the Lowest value is now). This is by design. If you have a chart that goes from 0 to 100 from left to right you want to have the Y-Axis going next to the Zero not the 100, at least that what most people want. You can easily override this default by setting the Axis position to be Far for the Main Y-Axis and Near for the secondary. -- FP Software FX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Software FX Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 No. This does not apply to release 5 In version 5, you can not move the axes. What you will need to do is use the Primary and Secondary Y-Axis in the opposite way (or upgrade to version 6). -- FP Software FX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted July 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Upgrading would be nice but i'm not sure that route is available to us at the moment. ChartFX is being used in production software that is the key tool used by both engineering and sales in three major corporations. The development platform continues to be VB6. As near as I can tell it is only with 6.2 BETA that you are supporting this environment. IS THAT CORRECT?

User (Legacy) Posted July 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Let's be a little more explicit before I waste my client's money on this. IF i have only one set of Y values, then you are saying it will work if I plot against the AXIS_Y2. BUT I suspect that will end up putting the axis title on the wrong (i.e. the right) side. I'll get the grid values on the left and the title on the right???? Correct????? I've had enough grief with this product that for the next full release of my client's software I will definitely be evaluating other plotting packages.

The titles can be placed anywhere you want (left,top,right,bottom). There is one title for each of these positions. > I've had enough grief with this product that for the next full release of my > client's software I will definitely be evaluating other plotting packages. We are currently in the process of releasing a brand new COM version 6.2 which will bring a wealth of new features to legacy applications. We are committed to supporting this platform in years to come. -- FP Software FX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted July 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Thanks for the support. I was using .axis.title rather than chart.title. That fuzzed my thinking. It turned out that making that change and replacing AXIS_Y with leftAxis and AXIS_Y2 with rightAxis and setting those two values appropriately (depending on whether x increased or decreased from left to right - I have to do both cases!-) was all I needed to do. Not tooo shabby as we used to say.
