NuGet Package: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.Core

Property Value

Type Description
AxisTimeUnits

An AxisTimeUnits enumeration value specifying the base time unit.

Available values:

Name Description
Auto

Specifies that the time unit for the date axis should be set automatically.

Days

Specifies that days should be used as the time unit for the date axis, so the chart data will be plotted along the axis in days.

Months

Specifies that months should be used as the time unit for the date axis, so the chart data will be plotted along the axis in months.

Years

Specifies that years should be used as the time unit for the date axis, so the chart data will be plotted along the axis in years.

Remarks

The base unit is a fundamental unit that specifies how to plot data along the date axis: in days, months, or years. By default, the BaseTimeUnit property is set to AxisTimeUnits.Auto, so the base unit is evaluated automatically based on the smallest difference between any two dates in a worksheet.

You can also specify the time unit for major and minor tick marks on the axis by utilizing the Axis.MajorTimeUnit and Axis.MinorTimeUnit properties. To set the distance between these tick marks, use the Axis.MajorUnit and Axis.MinorUnit properties.
