Line Chart Step Size

[abhidev]

Hi,

 

I am using a line chart to display my data for a month, 3 months, 6 months and lastly an year. Can you please tell me a better way as in how i can set the step size according to the number of months. I want to show maximum of 6-7 data points on the x-axis. Currently I am using a formula as labelstep = Total no. of days / 5 but this is uneven. is there a way as in where i can fix the start and end points fixed? Thanks in advance.

I have attached the screenshots for your reference. I am not able to get a consistent step size on X axis based on the number of months. Is there a way where the step size can be assigned evenly. Thanks.

Hi,

 

I am afraid, as of now, there are no other ways to create the chart except adjusting the values explicitly to match the labels.

 

Please feel free to revert in case you have any further queries.

Is there a way to assign the label step based on number of months ? Also how do i explicitly adjust the values??

Hi,

 

Please try mentioning the value for the "labelStep" attribute in the <chart> element depending on your XML data.

 

Ex: <chart labelStep='5' >

<set label='Jan 1' value='25' />

<set label='Jan 2' value='35' />

<set label='Jan 3' value='42' />

<set label='Jan 4' value='35' />

<set label='Jan 5' value='31' />

<set label='Feb 1' value='30' />

<set label='Feb 2' value='13' />

</chart>

 

The above example would first display the 1st label, i.e, Jan 5 and then the 6th label, i.e, Feb 1. Therefore, you would need to count and explicitly set the value for the attribute in order to make the labels display accordingly.

 

Hope this helps.
