Hello,
How can I use UltraChart with logarithmic grid lines for X or Y axes? I'm not speaking of logarithmic scale for X or Y axis, but to draw the grid itself, like what's shown in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:600px-LinLogScale.png

Hi,
I'm also trying to plot a lin-log scale using Infragistics 7.1.20071.1055. I read somewhere that there is a bug with the log scale that may be present in this version. Can someone confirm this?
As a test, I've tried plotting the values 10 to 7400 in increments of 10 (so, 10, 20, 30 etc) and setting the Y-Axis to linear and the X-Axis to logarithmic. The result is I'm getting a plot that looks like the following:
Sorry, it might be hard to see, I am having trouble figuring out how to get pictures to show up nicely on this forum...
1. Why am I showing two lines, shouldn't the plot show something similar to the green plot in the Wikipedia link quoted above?
2. How do I make the X-Axis grid lines at equal distance.
My chart is using these properties:
m_Chart->Axis->X->LogBase = 10;
m_Chart->Axis->X->NumericAxisType = NumericAxisType::Logarithmic;
m_Chart->Axis->X->Extent = 24;
m_Chart->Axis->X->TickmarkIntervalType = AxisIntervalType::NotSet;
m_Chart->Axis->X->TickmarkStyle = AxisTickStyle::DataInterval;
m_Chart->Axis->X->TickmarkInterval = 1;
m_Chart->Axis->X->RangeMin = 1.0;
m_Chart->Axis->X->RangeMax = 1000.0;
m_Chart->Axis->X->RangeType = AxisRangeType::Custom;
DataTable dt = new DataTable();dt.Columns.Add("col1", typeof(int));dt.Columns.Add("col2", typeof(int));for (int i = 10; i < 2000; i++){ dt.Rows.Add(new object[ { i, i*10 });}
ultraChart1.ChartType = ChartType.ScatterChart;ultraChart1.Data.DataSource = dt;ultraChart1.ScatterChart.ColumnX = 0;ultraChart1.ScatterChart.ColumnY = 1;ultraChart1.Axis.X.NumericAxisType = NumericAxisType.Logarithmic;ultraChart1.Axis.X.TickmarkStyle = AxisTickStyle.DataInterval;ultraChart1.Axis.X.TickmarkInterval = 1;
I'm now using XYSeries with ScatterPlot and it's working much better. Thanks Max.
Sorry, but LineChart types cannot use a numeric X axis. If you're using a line chart the x axis is a string type and every label is interpreted as a string. That's basically like taking a log of "apples". You should use a scatter chart and replace NumericSeries with XYSeries, where you have to specify the x and the y values. As for having a line, simply set chart.ScatterChart.ConnectWithLines = true
I see.I was able to reproduce the graph that you have attached using the same data and using a ScatterChart.However, on my above chart, I was using a line chart and a Numeric Series. I still get the chart with two lines and non-equally spaces X-Axis.NumericSeries pSeries = new NumericSeries();for (int i = 1; i < 75, ++i){ String sLabel = Convert.ToString( i*10 ); pSeries.Points.Add( new NumericDataPoint( i*10, sLabel, false );}
m_Chart.Axis.X.MajorGridLines.Visible = true;m_Chart.Axis.X.LogBase = 10;m_Chart.Axis.X.NumericAxisType = NumericAxisType.Logarithmic;m_Chart.Axis.X.TickmarkStyle = AxisTickStyle.DataInterval;m_Chart.Axis.X.TickmarkInterval = 1;m_Chart.ChartType = ChartType.LineChart;m_Chart.Series.Clear();m_Chart.Series.Add( pSeries );
Is there a way to get the same result with a LineChart? Also, if I use scatter plot, can I get it to use the NumericDataSeries?
Let me know if you need more code.
