Stair Steps LineChart with numeric x and y values
posted

Is it possible to have a Line Chart that looks like a stair steps? The one close to this is the StepLineChart but uses dates in one of the axes.

    Hi,

    At that moment that are not such kind of option, but maybe you could use one of these two options:

    - Option 1:  Using StepLineChart, but with formatting of your X axis. For example:

    

    dt.Rows.Add(DateTime.Today.AddYears(1500).AddYears(- DateTime.Today.Year), 2);
    

    dt.Rows.Add(DateTime.Today.AddYears(2000).AddYears(-DateTime.Today.Year), 20);
    

    dt.Rows.Add(DateTime.Today.AddYears(3500).AddYears(-DateTime.Today.Year), 30);
    

    dt.Rows.Add(DateTime.Today.AddYears(4000).AddYears(-DateTime.Today.Year), 40);
    

    dt.Rows.Add(DateTime.Today.AddYears(4500).AddYears(-DateTime.Today.Year), 50);
    

     
    

    ultraChart1.Axis.X.TimeAxisStyle.TimeAxisStyle = Infragistics.UltraChart.Shared.Styles.RulerGenre.Discrete;
    

    ultraChart1.Axis.X.TickmarkIntervalType = Infragistics.UltraChart.Shared.Styles.AxisIntervalType.Years;
    

    ultraChart1.Axis.X.Labels.ItemFormat = Infragistics.UltraChart.Shared.Styles.AxisItemLabelFormat.Custom;
    

    ultraChart1.Axis.X.Labels.ItemFormatString = "<ITEM_LABEL:yyyy>";
    

                
    

    ultraChart1.DataSource = dt;
      Your Quantity is added like an year to X axis minus current year. Please take a look at the attached sample and screenshot for more details.

    Option 2: Using a ScatterChart with property ConnectWithLines = true. By this way you could achieve similar result with small exceptions. Please take a look at the screenshot (red area).

    Please if you have any questions, do not hesitate to write us
