Y-axis labels using the rules of Significant digit and 1-2-5 principal

[amankazi]

In general chart can be drawn for, Graphing Statistics & Data.

I have to represent the Y-axis labels using the rules of Significant digit and 1-2-5 principal. Does, chartFx supports this?

Hi,

 Can you please provide some details or an example on how exactly you need the Y axis labels to be formatted. The CustomFormat Property allows you to set a template for how the labels will be shown:

chart1.AxisX.LabelsFormat.Format = AxisFormat.Date;

chart1.AxisX.LabelsFormat.CustomFormat = "MMM-yy";

You can get detailed information on how to manipulate the CustomeFormat property in the Chart FX API reference:

API Reference > ChartFX.WinForms > ValueFormat Class > Properties > CustomFormat

Or you can read it here:

I had already seen the format of axis, but this doesn't speak about the rules I have specified.

Please have a look at the links below, here you can find more details. I want my Y-axis labels to have this rules.

1-2-5 rule

Ok,.

The 1-2-5 rule speaks about the proposed step values for Y axis scales. While you can achieve any of those scale represenations by simply using the step property of the axis, Chart FX will not adhere to that rule when automatically calculting the axis. If what you need is for the the chart to automatically adjust the scale to the 1-2-5 rule based on the plotted values, you will need to handle that in your code in order to evaluate the data and set the step property accordingly.
