Hello,

Grid on X Axis not aligned to chart.

Looked through the examples unable to find out why.

Recently upgraded to VS2010, the grid was aligned in the VS2008 solution.

Initialize Chart Method:


 // dataset for the solutions
                SimpleDataset3D dataset = new SimpleDataset3D("First Plot", xPoints, yPoints, zPoints);

                // scale coordinate system for data
                SimpleDataset[] datasetarray = { dataset };

                pTransform1 = new CartesianCoordinates(ChartObj.LINEAR_SCALE, ChartObj.LINEAR_SCALE);
                pTransform1.AutoScale(datasetarray, ChartObj.AUTOAXES_FAR, ChartObj.AUTOAXES_FAR, ChartObj.AUTOAXES_FAR);

                // position chart in graph area
                pTransform1.SetGraphBorderDiagonal(0.2, .2, .80, 0.725);

                // setting for cube representation of chart
                //pTransform1.SetGraphBorderDiagonal(0.15, 0.15, 0.85, 0.85); 
                //chartView.SetFractionalZViewportDepth(0.5);

                // set rotational parameters
                pTransform1.AbsRotateCoordinateSystem(new Point3D(10, 15, 0));

                // define chart background
                Background background = new Background(pTransform1, ChartObj.GRAPH_BACKGROUND, Color.White);
                chartView.AddChartObject(background);

                // define walls
                ChartAttribute wallAttrib = new ChartAttribute(Color.Black, 1, DashStyle.Solid, Color.AliceBlue);
                Wall3D xyMinZWall = new Wall3D(pTransform1, ChartObj.XY_MAXZ_PLANE, 0.02, wallAttrib);
                chartView.AddChartObject(xyMinZWall);
                Wall3D yzMinXWall = new Wall3D(pTransform1, ChartObj.YZ_MINX_PLANE, 0.02, wallAttrib);
                chartView.AddChartObject(yzMinXWall);
                Wall3D xzMinYWall = new Wall3D(pTransform1, ChartObj.XZ_MINY_PLANE, 0.02, wallAttrib);
                chartView.AddChartObject(xzMinYWall);

                // define x-, y-, and z-axes
                LinearAxis xAxis = new LinearAxis(pTransform1, ChartObj.X_AXIS);
                chartView.AddChartObject(xAxis);

                LinearAxis yAxis = new LinearAxis(pTransform1, ChartObj.Y_AXIS);
                chartView.AddChartObject(yAxis);

                LinearAxis zAxis = new LinearAxis(pTransform1, ChartObj.Z_AXIS);
                zAxis.AxisIntercept2 = yAxis.AxisMin;
                chartView.AddChartObject(zAxis);

                // define x-, y-, and z-axis labels
                NumericAxisLabels xAxisLab = new NumericAxisLabels(xAxis);
                xAxisLab.SetTextFont(theFont);
                chartView.AddChartObject(xAxisLab);

                NumericAxisLabels yAxisLab = new NumericAxisLabels(yAxis);
                yAxisLab.SetTextFont(theFont);
                chartView.AddChartObject(yAxisLab);

                NumericAxisLabels zAxisLab = new NumericAxisLabels(zAxis);
                zAxisLab.SetTextFont(theFont);
                chartView.AddChartObject(zAxisLab);

                // define x-, y-, and z-axis titles
                Font titleFont = new Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 10, FontStyle.Bold);
                AxisTitle yaxistitle = new AxisTitle(yAxis, titleFont, yName);
                chartView.AddChartObject(yaxistitle);

                AxisTitle xaxistitle = new AxisTitle(xAxis, titleFont, xName);
                chartView.AddChartObject(xaxistitle);

                AxisTitle zaxistitle = new AxisTitle(zAxis, titleFont, zName);
                chartView.AddChartObject(zaxistitle);

                // define x-, y-, z- grids
                Grid xgrid = new Grid(xAxis, yAxis, ChartObj.X_AXIS, ChartObj.GRID_MAJOR);
                chartView.AddChartObject(xgrid);

                Grid ygrid = new Grid(xAxis, yAxis, ChartObj.Y_AXIS, ChartObj.GRID_MAJOR);
                chartView.AddChartObject(ygrid);

                Grid zgrid = new Grid(xAxis, yAxis, zAxis, ChartObj.Z_AXIS, ChartObj.GRID_MAJOR);
                zgrid.GridAxisPlane = ChartObj.XZ_MINY_PLANE;
                chartView.AddChartObject(zgrid);

                // chart symbols
                ChartAttribute attrib1 = new ChartAttribute(Color.Blue, 1, DashStyle.Solid);
                attrib1.SetFillColor(Color.Blue);
                attrib1.SetFillFlag(true);
                attrib1.SetSymbolSize(8);

                // define first plot as a simple scatter plot
                SimpleScatterPlot thePlot1 = new SimpleScatterPlot(pTransform1, dataset, ChartObj.PYRAMID3D, attrib1);
                chartView.AddChartObject(thePlot1);

                // define legend
                Font legendFont = new Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 14, FontStyle.Bold);
                ChartAttribute legendAttributes = new ChartAttribute(Color.Gray, 1, DashStyle.Solid);
                legendAttributes.SetFillFlag(false);
                legendAttributes.SetLineFlag(false);
                StandardLegend legend = new StandardLegend(0.2, 0.875, 0.8, 0.075, legendAttributes,
                                                           StandardLegend.HORIZ_DIR);
                legend.AddLegendItem("Solutions", thePlot1, legendFont);
                legend.SetLegendItemUniformTextColor(Color.Black);
                chartView.AddChartObject(legend);

                // define title
                Font chartTitleFont = new Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 18, FontStyle.Bold);
                ChartTitle mainTitle = new ChartTitle(chartTitleFont, "Title");
                mainTitle.SetTitleType(ChartObj.CHART_HEADER);
                mainTitle.SetTitlePosition(ChartObj.CENTER_GRAPH);
                chartView.AddChartObject(mainTitle);

                // chart footer - instructions
                Font theFooterFont = new Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 12, FontStyle.Bold);
                const string footerText = "Footer";
                ChartTitle footer = new ChartTitle(theFooterFont, footerText);
                footer.SetTitleType(ChartObj.CHART_FOOTER);
                footer.SetTitlePosition(ChartObj.LEFT_SIDE);
                footer.SetTitleOffset(0);
                chartView.AddChartObject(footer);
                chartView.SetResizeMode(ChartObj.AUTO_RESIZE_OBJECTS);

                // configure tooltip method
                ConfigureCustomTooltip();

                // cntrl key + left button rotate mouse listener
                RotateChartMouseListener rotateMouseListener = new RotateChartMouseListener(chartView, MouseButtons.Right,
                                                                                            pTransform1);
                rotateMouseListener.SetEnable(true);
                rotateMouseListener.KeyFilter = MouseListener.FilterKeys.CTRL_KEY;
                chartView.AddMouseListener(rotateMouseListener);

                // define a zoom object using a custom zoom class
                double zpos = 0.0;
                CartesianCoordinates[] transformArray = { pTransform1 };
                ZoomWithStack zoomObj = new ZoomWithStack(chartView, transformArray, zpos, true);
                zoomObj.KeyFilter = MouseListener.FilterKeys.SHIFT_KEY; 
                zoomObj.SetButtonMask(MouseButtons.Left);
                zoomObj.SetZoomYEnable(true);
                zoomObj.SetZoomXEnable(true);
                
                zoomObj.SetZoomXRoundMode(ChartObj.AUTOAXES_FAR);
                zoomObj.SetZoomYRoundMode(ChartObj.AUTOAXES_FAR);
                zoomObj.SetEnable(true);
                zoomObj.SetZoomStackEnable(true);
                zoomObj.SetZoomRangeLimitsRatio(new Dimension3D(0.001, 0.001));
                chartView.SetCurrentMouseListener(zoomObj);
            }


Commented out 'Grid xgrid ' the chart then lost its diagonal grid line on the X Axis.

Thanks, Jules

It is not clear, is this directly from one of our examples? If it is, which example is it. If not, can you supply us with a project which reproduces the problem (send it to support@quinn-curtis.com). Do you still maintain that this is a problem which can only be reproduced under Windows 7?

Should I be update ChartObj.XY_MAXZ_PLANE... with other wall orientation?

// define walls
ChartAttribute wallAttrib = new ChartAttribute(Color.Black, 1, DashStyle.Solid, Color.AliceBlue);
Wall3D xyMinZWall = new Wall3D(pTransform1, ChartObj.XY_MAXZ_PLANE, 0.02, wallAttrib);
chartView.AddChartObject(xyMinZWall);
Wall3D yzMinXWall = new Wall3D(pTransform1, ChartObj.YZ_MINX_PLANE, 0.02, wallAttrib);
chartView.AddChartObject(yzMinXWall);
Wall3D xzMinYWall = new Wall3D(pTransform1, ChartObj.XZ_MINY_PLANE, 0.02, wallAttrib);
chartView.AddChartObject(xzMinYWall);
