[br]Dear Sir/Madam

I have a problem with the Time Plot, that I hope you guys can help me solve. When the data I am showing is not very wide (say 10 years) It shows the years on the X axis with no problems. However in the applications I am writing the data range can be for 100 years, in which case there are no labels on the X Axis at all until I zoom in. 
Is there a way to show labels with say 10 year gaps in case the date range is so wide?
I am adding the code I used to put the labels on the x axis:

xAxis = New TimeAxis(pTransform)

chartVu.AddChartObject(xAxis)

Dim xaxistitle As New AxisTitle(xAxis, axisTitleFont, "")
                    chartVu.AddChartObject(xaxistitle)

Dim xAxisLab As New TimeAxisLabels(xAxis)
                    xAxisLab.SetTextFont(theFont)

xAxisLab.SetAxisLabelsFormat(ChartObj.TIMEDATEFORMAT_Y)

chartVu.AddChartObject(xAxisLab)

Cheers

guyguy2003	Posted - 29 Apr 2008 : 21:45:46 Thanks guys! your solution worked ok without the zoom (I got 00, 10, 20 for years - yy format) but I have noticed today that zooming out does change the type of labels you have - I had set yy format for years and when zooming out even when i have only 2 years data it shows as m/yyyy when zooming back out - is that what you are trying to fix? Cheers Guy
quinncurtis	Posted - 29 Apr 2008 : 10:12:01 The auto-axis routines don't go out that far. We will have to add that range in a subsequent version. In the meantime you can just set a couple of axis properties, in bold. xAxis = New TimeAxis(pTransform) xAxis.AxisMinorNthTick = 1 xAxis.AxisMinorTicksPerMajor = 10 chartVu.AddChartObject(xAxis) This will draw the time axis OK initially. But if you are zooming the axis, starting at this point, when you return to the original scale the axis will revert to its old form. We will have to fix the auto-scale routine internally before zooming will work across such a wide range. Contact support@quinn-curtis.com in couple of days for an updated DLL.
