Hello Support,
I'd like to create ChartInfoStrips for a chart with ColumnSeries's grouped by a CategoryXAxis.
The ChartInfoStrip control seems to need numerical X values to get the position correct. I'm not sure how to (or if I can) interrogate the CategoryXAxis to get category position information. Any advice on getting over this hurdle?
I'm currently using a CategoryToolTipLayer to display category information when the category is hovered, but really would like something that is onscreen all the time.
Attached is an example chart I'm trying to emulate (from matlab).
Thanks!
Hello Jeff,
From the screenshot you have provided, I am assuming that the "info strip" that you are trying to use is for the boxes that exist above your Column series. If this is the case, I would actually recommend an alternative, and much simpler route.
I would recommend that instead of trying to implement the chart info strips behavior, that you simply write a MarkerTemplate for one of your series. At the start, this will cause the template to show at the very top of your series columns, but you can "trick" it into drawing further up by setting a large height on the parent element of your MarkerTemplate and then aligning your actual data to the top of that parent element.
I have attached a sample project to demonstrate the above. I hope this helps you.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns on this matter.

Forgot to mention: If there is something else to use besides an info strip, feel free to suggest....
