AxisScaling.AutoMax Property

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the maximum value of the numerical or date axis should be set automatically based on the worksheet data.

Namespace: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.Charts

Assembly: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.v24.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.Core

#Declaration

bool AutoMax { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Description
Boolean

true, to calculate the maximum axis value automatically; otherwise, false.

#Remarks

Use the AutoMax and AxisScaling.AutoMin properties to control whether the maximum and minimum values of the axis should be calculated automatically.

If you wish to control the scale of the chart yourself, set the AutoMax and AxisScaling.AutoMin properties to false, and then use the AxisScaling.Max and AxisScaling.Min properties to specify the maximum and minimum axis values.

#Example

The example below demonstrates how to create a clustered column chart and specify the value axis scale. Set the AxisScaling.AutoMax and AxisScaling.AutoMin properties to false to indicate that maximum and minimum values of the axis will be set manually by using the AxisScaling.Max and AxisScaling.Min properties

View Example

Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets["chartTask3"];
workbook.Worksheets.ActiveWorksheet = worksheet;

// Create a chart and specify its location.
Chart chart = worksheet.Charts.Add(ChartType.ColumnClustered, worksheet["B3:C5"]);
chart.TopLeftCell = worksheet.Cells["H2"];
chart.BottomRightCell = worksheet.Cells["N14"];

// Set the minimum and maximum values for the chart value axis.
Axis axis = chart.PrimaryAxes[1];
axis.Scaling.AutoMax = false;
axis.Scaling.Max = 1;
axis.Scaling.AutoMin = false;
axis.Scaling.Min = 0;

// Hide the legend.
chart.Legend.Visible = false;
