AxisBase.Range Property

This property is obsolete now. To specify a custom range, use the AxisBase.VisualRange and AxisBase.WholeRange properties instead. For more information, see the corresponding topic in the documentation.

Gets the settings that specify the range of the axis coordinates.

Property Value

Type Description
AxisRange

An AxisRange object which contains the common range settings of the axis coordinates.

Remarks

The Range property is used in descendants of the AxisBase class (AxisX, AxisY, AxisX3D and AxisY3D). The main settings exposed via the properties of the AxisRange class allow you to specify the minimum and maximum axis values (see the AxisRange.MinValue and AxisRange.MaxValue properties), or control whether they should be calculated automatically based upon the series being drawn (see the AxisRange.Auto property).

For more information, refer to Visual Ranges and Whole Ranges .

Example

This example demonstrates how to use the AxisBase.VisualRange property to define the visible range of an axis, and the AxisBase.WholeRange property to define its whole range.
