thanks for your help!

Hi Willie,

The problem was generally caused by loss of precision. Float/double numbers are stored in the following format:

(−1)^signbit×2^exponent× 0.significandbits

which means that not all values representable by a decimal numeric system can be represented by float/double exactly. In the case of the problematic "0" the number 5.5E-17 is actually very close and comes from adding the step several times to the axis origin.

Again this issue is resolved by later versions that use decimal step calculation and produce "exact" decimal results. You can workaround the problem by formatting with limited precision:

value.ToString("0.000;-0.000");

Let me know if you meet any problems...

Best regards,
Bob

Thanks for your help.

What I do not understand is why the y axis is showing the 5.5E-17 on the axis?
The values are not smaller than 0.0001

When implementing the NCustomValueFormatter i still have to do something otherwise the 5.5E still is shown on the axis.

I am using an older version of the Nevron Chart where the customlabels are not implemented and i need to adjust our (older version) software for a customer.
I can not implement a newer Nevron Chart to our older software version.

Hi Willie,

This method for applying axis labels is suitable only for ordinal scales generally. I would recommend using the custom labels feature:

NNumericScaleConfigurator scale = chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryY).ScaleConfigurator as NNumericScaleConfigurator;
scale.AutoLabels = false;

NCustomValueLabel label = new NCustomValueLabel();
label.Text = "20";
label.Value = 20;
scale.CustomLabels.Add(label);

or using a custom value formatter:

class NCustomValueFormatter : NValueFormatter
{
public override string FormatValue(object value)
{
return value.ToString();
}
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
NChart chart = nChartControl1.Charts[0];
NBarSeries bar = new NBarSeries();
bar.Values.Add(10);
bar.Values.Add(20);
bar.Values.Add(30);
chart.Series.Add(bar);

NNumericScaleConfigurator scale = chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryY).ScaleConfigurator as NNumericScaleConfigurator;
scale.LabelValueFormatter = new NCustomValueFormatter();
}

That is in case you want to change the labels applied to major ticks.

Hope this helps - let me know if you meet any problems.

I want to show my own labels on the Y-axis.
However it does some strange thing and shows 2 labels in stead of all (see jpg).
What am i doing wrong here?
