I am creating a C # Visual Studio Forms application that uses zedgraph to plot the data that the program collects, but when I print the data, I encounter the following problem:
My y axis values are usually in the 100,000+ range, so when the zed graph displays the value that it calls the y axis labels with things like 0, 10, 15, 20, 25, and then on the y axis label, it will add "(10 ^ 3)" to the header and construct values accordingly. What I want to do is assign the y axis or values like 0, 10,000, 15,000, 20,000, etc. Or 0, 10k, 15k, 20k, etc., and do not change it along the y axis.
I tried to establish YAxis.Scale.MajorStep = double.Parse("10000");, but the only effect that is is to add a ton of more tick lines along the y axis, but no other effect. Here is my code that displays the data:
private void createGraph()
{
GraphPane myPane = zdc_graph.GraphPane;
myPane.CurveList.Clear();
myPane.GraphObjList.Clear();
myPane.Title.Text = this.monitoredHost.hostName + "\nWorkState[" +
this.monitoredHost.currentWorkState + "]";
myPane.XAxis.Title.Text = "";
myPane.YAxis.Title.Text = "OPS Per Second";
myPane.YAxis.Scale.FontSpec.FontColor = Color.Blue;
myPane.YAxis.Title.FontSpec.FontColor = Color.Blue;
myPane.YAxis.Scale.MaxAuto = true;
myPane.Y2Axis.Title.Text = "Reading";
myPane.Y2Axis.IsVisible = true;
myPane.Y2Axis.Scale.FontSpec.FontColor = Color.Red;
myPane.Y2Axis.Title.FontSpec.FontColor = Color.Red;
myPane.XAxis.Type = AxisType.Date;
myPane.XAxis.Scale.Format = "T";
myPane.XAxis.Scale.MajorUnit = DateUnit.Second;
myPane.YAxis.Scale.Min = 0;
myPane.YAxis.Scale.MajorStep = double.Parse("10000");
myPane.Y2Axis.Scale.Min = 0;
LineItem kpiCurve = myPane.AddCurve("OPS Per Second",
this.monitoredHost.graphKpiList,
Color.Blue,SymbolType.Circle);
LineItem pwrCurve = myPane.AddCurve("Reading",
this.monitoredHost.graphPwrList, Color.Red,
SymbolType.Circle);
kpiCurve.Line.Width = 2.0F;
kpiCurve.Symbol.Size = 4.0F;
kpiCurve.Symbol.Fill = new Fill(Color.White);
pwrCurve.Line.Width = 2.0F;
pwrCurve.Symbol.Size = 4.0F;
pwrCurve.Symbol.Fill = new Fill(Color.White);
pwrCurve.IsY2Axis = true;
myPane.Chart.Fill = new Fill(Color.White, Color.FromArgb(255, 255, 210), -45F);
zdc_graph.AxisChange();
zdc_graph.Refresh();
}
Hope this makes sense. Thanks for the help.
