Linear Scale

In This Topic

A linear scale is a type of scale where equal distances on the scale represent equal differences in the quantity being plotted. The linear scale is commonly used in charting types where you have to display numeric values with similar magnitude. The following chart shows a linear scale applied on the Y axis:

Creating a Linear Scale

You create a linear scale by creating an instance of the NLinearScale class. The following code shows how to create a linear numeric scale and assign it to the primary Y axis of a Cartesian chart:

C#	Copy Code
NCartesianChart chart = (NCartesianChart)chartView.Surface.Charts[0]; NLinearScale linearScale = new NLinearScale(); chart.Axes[ENCartesianAxis.PrimaryY].Scale = linearScale;

Copy Code

NCartesianChart chart = (NCartesianChart)chartView.Surface.Charts[0];
NLinearScale linearScale = new NLinearScale();

chart.Axes[ENCartesianAxis.PrimaryY].Scale = linearScale;
