Hello,

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

I am plotting a 3D Chart - mesh surface. When the chart renders, it is automatically stretching the Y (elevation) points based on its overall range... a nice feature for some, but I need control over this. Any thoughts where I can find this property and what is it called? - Thanks! Darren

Hi,

There are lots of settings in the scale configurator object that is accessible through the ScaleConfigurator property of the axis. You can also take a look at the View and PagingView properties of the axis, but for now I cannot be more specific, since I don't know what exactly you are trying to achieve.

Best Regards,
Milen

Thanks Milen.... yes I have been playing around with the NLinearScaleConfigurator settings all day.

In a nut shell, there are buttons on the demo WinForm C# 2008 example called "Increase Chart Depth", "Decrease Chart Depth", and so on...

If I knew how these buttons are being used I think I could solve my problem. Any thoughts?

I have tried to rescale the data going into the series, and the layout of the surface chart just appears to adapt accordingly. I tried attaching a screenshot of the chart, but this web site is not letting me. Here is what the prepare code looks like before I add the series...

// setup chart
NChart chart = chartControl.Charts[0];
chart.Enable3D = true;
chart.Projection.SetPredefinedProjection(PredefinedProjection.PerspectiveTilted);

// setup X
NLinearScaleConfigurator linearScale = new NLinearScaleConfigurator();
linearScale.MajorGridStyle.SetShowAtWall(ChartWallType.Floor, true);
linearScale.MajorGridStyle.SetShowAtWall(ChartWallType.Back, true);
linearScale.RoundToTickMax = false;
linearScale.RoundToTickMin = false;
chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryX).ScaleConfigurator = linearScale;
chart.BoundsMode = BoundsMode.None;

// setup Z
linearScale = new NLinearScaleConfigurator();
linearScale.MajorGridStyle.SetShowAtWall(ChartWallType.Floor, true);
linearScale.MajorGridStyle.SetShowAtWall(ChartWallType.Left, true);
linearScale.RoundToTickMax = false;
linearScale.RoundToTickMin = false;
chart.Axis(StandardAxis.Depth).ScaleConfigurator = linearScale;

// setup Y (surface)
NMeshSurfaceSeries surface = (NMeshSurfaceSeries)chart.Series.Add(SeriesType.MeshSurface);
surface.Name = "Surface";
surface.Legend.Mode = SeriesLegendMode.SeriesLogic;
surface.FillMode = SurfaceFillMode.Zone;
surface.PositionValue = .5;
surface.SyncPaletteWithAxisScale = false;
surface.PaletteSteps = 8;
surface.ValueFormatter.FormatSpecifier = "0.00";
surface.FillStyle = new NColorFillStyle(System.Drawing.Color.Yellow);
chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryY).ScaleConfigurator = linearScale;

never mind.... chart.Width, chart.Height, & chart.Depth

That is it. opps... !

Hi darren,

setting the chart.width, chart.height and chart.depth will help, if you want to controll the Elavation-Scaling ( it still does change the min, max ranges according to the surface, surfaces displayed) you should use this:

axis.View = new NRangeAxisView(new NRange1DD(0, 10));

to have always the sam axis range.
