Example

The following example shows how to group minute-by-minute data into data points with a greater measurement unit (“Hour”).

• Use the ManualTimeSpanScaleOptions.MeasureUnit property to specify the measurement unit that should be greater than the initial data measurement unit.

• To change an arithmetic function used for computing point aggregates, use ManualTimeSpanScaleOptions.AggregateFunction.

• Optionally, you can specify the ManualTimeSpanScaleOptions.GridAlignment, ManualTimeSpanScaleOptions.GridSpacing, and ManualTimeSpanScaleOptions.GridOffset properties.
