AxisRange.SetMinMaxValues(Object, Object) Method

Sets both minimum and maximum values of an axis range.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Charts

Declaration

C#

public virtual void SetMinMaxValues(
    object minValue,
    object maxValue
)

VB.NET

Public Overridable Sub SetMinMaxValues(
    minValue As Object,
    maxValue As Object
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
minValue	Object	A Object which specifies the minimum set value. The type of an object depends on the axis scale type.
maxValue	Object	A Object which specifies the maximum set value. The type of an object depends on the axis scale type.

Remarks

Call the SetMinMaxValues method, to specify the visible range of an axis in the measurement units appropriate to the axis scale type.

Alternatively, you can call the AxisRange.SetInternalMinMaxValues method, to define the axis range in internal numerical measurement units, with no regard to the actual axis scale type.

For the axis scrolling range, use the similar ScrollingRange.SetMinMaxValues method.

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.
