Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Charts

Declaration

C#

public TimeSpanMeasureUnit MeasureUnit { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property MeasureUnit As TimeSpanMeasureUnit

Property Value

Type	Description
TimeSpanMeasureUnit	An axis measurement unit that represents the detail level of data associated with the axis.

Available values:

Name	Description
Millisecond	Specifies millisecond as the measurement unit for a time-span axis.
Second	Specifies second as the measurement unit for a time-span axis.
Minute	Specifies minute as the measurement unit for a time-span axis.
Hour	Specifies hour as the measurement unit for a time-span axis.
Day	Specifies day as the measurement unit for a time-span axis.

Remarks

The following images show how changes to the aggregate function and measure unit affect the representation of minute-by-minute chart data.

MeasureUnit = “Minute”; AggregateFunction = “None”:

MeasureUnit = “Hour”; AggregateFunction = “None”:

MeasureUnit = “Hour”; AggregateFunction = “Average”:

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.
