IAxisLabels.Exponent Odd or ?

Post by jfrancis » Fri Sep 25, 2009 1:02 am

I tried using the "IAxisLabels.Exponent" set to TRUE to get exponent super scripts using the ValueFormat of "00e-0".

It looks real nice, but the tick labels are wrong. When I plot linear the ticks line up with my data just right. The when I change to a log scale and this formating the values displayed are "10 with superscript of 0" for the 100s tick, for the 1000s I get "10 with a superscript of 1"

Hi jfrancis,

I don't think axis labels are wrong. It's just that they are set in a logarithmic scale now and therefore they are not on the same position as in al linear scale. Try using the code below commenting in and out the ValueFormat line and you'll see how axis change with logarithmic scales.

Code: Select all

    TChart1.Aspect.View3D = False
    
    TChart1.AddSeries scFastLine
    TChart1.Series(0).FillSampleValues 10000
    
    TChart1.Axis.Bottom.Labels.ValueFormat = "00e-0"
    TChart1.Axis.Bottom.Logarithmic = True
Hope this helps!

Sorry I was not clear.

What the two plots show the same data with an x-axis linear (bottom image) and then plotting the x-axis using log scale (top image).

The left three data points plot at "10" in linear and 10^0 ( which is 1 ) in log. I think it should of been 10^1

The middle three data points plot at "100" in linear and 10^1 ( which is 10 ) in log. I think it should of been 10^2

The right four points plot at "200" in linear and the 10^1.1 ( which is ~12.59 ) in log. I think it should of been 10^2.3

Note: I used ^ to show 10 raised to the power of.

I hope this clears up my concern.

Hi jfrancis,

If I understood well, you could solve it using OnGetAxisLabel event:

Code: Select all

Private Sub TChart1_OnGetAxisLabel(ByVal Axis As Long, ByVal SeriesIndex As Long, ByVal ValueIndex As Long, LabelText As String)
  If Axis = 3 Then
    LabelText = Format(Val(LabelText) * 10, "00e-0")
  End If
End Sub

Yes,

I could solve the problem by doing the coding and handling the event myself.

Basically I'm saying is that your charting library is in ERROR and are you going to fix it?

Thanks,
John Francis

PS: I'm coding in C++ and MFC.

Please point me to sample code for formatting exponents and subscripts when in the TextOut() method.

Hi Hans,

Have you tried simply changing the font size? For example:

Code: Select all

Private Sub Form_Load() 
  TChart1.Aspect.View3D = False
  TChart1.AddSeries scBar
  
  TChart1.Series(0).FillSampleValues 6
End Sub

Private Sub TChart1_OnAfterDraw()
  Dim TextWidth As Integer
  Dim Text As String
  Text = "2 x 5"
  TextWidth = TChart1.Canvas.TextWidth(Text)
  TChart1.Canvas.TextOut 100, 100, Text
  TChart1.Canvas.Font.Size = 4
  TChart1.Canvas.TextOut 100 + TextWidth, 100, "10"
End Sub
