I would like to draw a radar chart using the MS Chart control in a WinForms application.
This chart contains data for 1 day, I have data for every second, so I have 86,400 xy value pairs. The x axis contains dates, y are my int values.
My test code is as follows:
var fromDate = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year,
DateTime.Now.Month,
DateTime.Now.Day,
0,
0,
0);
var toDate = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year,
DateTime.Now.Month,
DateTime.Now.Day,
23,
59,
59);
List<DateTime> xValues = new List<DateTime>();
List<double> yValues = new List<double>();
var iterDate = fromDate;
var i = 0;
while (iterDate <= toDate)
{
xValues.Add(iterDate);
yValues.Add(i);
iterDate = iterDate.AddSeconds(1);
i++;
}
chart1.Series["Default"].Points.DataBindXY(xValues, yValues);
var dateLabelStyle = new LabelStyle();
dateLabelStyle.Format = "HH:mm:ss";
chart1.ChartAreas["Default"].AxisX.LabelStyle = dateLabelStyle;
chart1.ChartAreas["Default"].AxisX.Minimum = fromDate.ToOADate();
chart1.ChartAreas["Default"].AxisX.Maximum = toDate.ToOADate();
chart1.Series["Default"].IsXValueIndexed = true;
chart1.Series["Default"].ChartType = SeriesChartType.Radar;
chart1.Series["Default"]["RadarDrawingStyle"] = "Line";
chart1.Series["Default"]["AreaDrawingStyle"] = "Circle";
chart1.Series["Default"]["CircularLabelsStyle"] = "Horizontal";
chart1.ChartAreas["Default"].Area3DStyle.Enable3D = false;
The result is as follows:

I think the reason for the black circle effect is that it draws the y axis for every 86,400 points. How can I set it to draw these axes only at any time?
Labels (dates set by me) for the x-axis are not displayed. How can I show them?
thanks in advance!
