Change the Scale on the Axes

This page describes how to manually set the scale on the axes of the charts. The x-axis of the charts is of the following type:

HorizontalAxis

And the y-axis of the charts is of the following type:

VerticalAxis

The first step is to include the necessary namespaces for the controls and add a new chart.

Manually Change the Scale on the Y-Axis

Below, we will change the scale on the y-axis of an Individuals chart (named indChart in the examples below). The process is similar for the x-axis and the other charts:

[Visual Basic]

' Turn off auto-scale

                  indChart.YAxis.AutoScale = False

                  ' Set the maximum and minimum manually

                  indChart.YAxis.Max = 2.0

                  indChart.YAxis.Min = -0.5

                  ' Set the units in between the tick marks

                  indChart.YAxis.MajorUnit = 0.5

[Visual C#]

// Turn off auto-scale

                  indChart.YAxis.AutoScale = false;

                  // Set the maximum and minimum manually

                  indChart.YAxis.Max = 2.0;

                  indChart.YAxis.Min = -0.5;

                  // Set the units in between the tick marks

                  indChart.YAxis.MajorUnit = 0.5;

The resulting chart should look similar to the following:
