Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Charts

Declaration

[TypeConverter(typeof(DateTimeScaleOptionsTypeConverter))]
public sealed class DateTimeScaleOptions :
    ScaleOptionsBase,
    IDateTimeScaleOptions,
    IScaleOptionsDivisionModeSupport<DateTimeMeasureUnitNative>,
    IScaleOptionsBase<DateTimeMeasureUnitNative>,
    IScaleOptionsBase,
    IXtraSupportDeserializeCollectionItem

The following members return DateTimeScaleOptions objects:

Remarks

An object of the DateTimeScaleOptions type is returned by the AxisBase.DateTimeScaleOptions property.

Example

This example shows how to use DateTimeScaleOptions to reduce the number of visible series points.

Result

The following code configures the axis scale settings to resemble to the chart appearance above:

DateTimeScaleOptions dateTimeScaleOptions = ((XYDiagram)chartControl.Diagram).AxisX.DateTimeScaleOptions;

dateTimeScaleOptions.WorkdaysOnly = true;
dateTimeScaleOptions.ScaleMode = ScaleMode.Manual;
dateTimeScaleOptions.AggregateFunction = AggregateFunction.Average;
dateTimeScaleOptions.MeasureUnit = DateTimeMeasureUnit.Month;
dateTimeScaleOptions.GridAlignment = DateTimeGridAlignment.Quarter;
dateTimeScaleOptions.GridSpacing = 1;

The following table lists the API members the code above uses:
