marker point not showing up for x values < 1 in log chart

[User (Legacy)]

Hi,

I'm having a problem getting log values < 1 on the X Axis to show up in 

my log chart.  They do work ok on the Y axis though.  The strange this 

is if I change it to a LINES gallery, then the line shows up (but with 

no marker!)

Below is some code that works in the passing data sample project.

Thanks,

Steve.

Code:

         .Gallery = SCATTER

         .MarkerSize = 5

         ' Set X/Y data

         .OpenDataEx COD_VALUES Or COD_REMOVE, 2, 4

         .OpenDataEx COD_XVALUES, 2, 4

         .Axis(AXIS_X).LogBase = 10

         .Axis(AXIS_X).AutoScale = True

         .Axis(AXIS_Y).LogBase = 10

         .Axis(AXIS_Y).AutoScale = True

         .ValueEx(0, 0) = 10

         .XValueEx(0, 0) = 0.9

         .ValueEx(0, 1) = 100

         .XValueEx(0, 1) = 1

         .ValueEx(0, 2) = 1000

         .XValueEx(0, 2) = 10

         .ValueEx(0, 3) = 10000

         .XValueEx(0, 3) = 100

         .ValueEx(1, 0) = 0.7

         .XValueEx(1, 0) = 0.7

         '.XValueEx(1, 0) = 1

         .ValueEx(1, 1) = 200

         .XValueEx(1, 1) = 100

         .ValueEx(1, 2) = 400

         .XValueEx(1, 2) = 200

         .ValueEx(1, 3) = 2000

         .XValueEx(1, 3) = 1000

         .CloseData COD_VALUES

         .CloseData COD_XVALUES

         .RecalcScale

The only difference is that by default the X-Axis shows NO decimals while 

the Y-Axis shows 2.

Simply set:

.Axis(AXIS_X).Decimlas = 2

Ok, that does work....but why?

The decimals property says in the documentation that it applies to the 

labels ONLY not the data associated with it.

Its fair enough that the label on the axis may not be shown, but hiding 

the data as well just seems like a bug.

Is not hiding any data, however it will not chose a Min for the X Axis that 

can not be represented with zero decimals. Your data is still there but it 

is outside of the viewable area, in other words, when Chart FX chooses the 

range to display it can't come up with anything congruent with your data as 

on one hand you are passing data that is between 0 than 1 and in the other 

you are saying not to display any decimals, since 0 is not an option in Log 

scale, you end up with an empty scale (1 to 1).

hmmm, I can't agree with this.

I don't understand what the axis _label_ has to do with displaying the 

data?  The axis is set to autorange, so I would expect the chart to show 

all the data.  In effect, the autorange setting is trumped by how the 

axis data label is formatted, which seems really bizarre.  It means you 

need to know how many decimal places your data is going to have before 

you build your chart.  If this axis label can't be formatted with the 

current setting, then I would expect it to be blank, not assume you 

don't want to see the other data.

Cheers,

Steve

Hi,

Was there an update on issue at all?

Thanks.

Steve.
