Custom Labels on a Time X Axis

Hi there,

I want to plot a line using a Time XAxis (IsTime=True) but instead of the automatic dates, I want to display a custom label on the X Axis, which in my case is the difference from the start date, like so: 

• 1 day
• 1 week
• 2 weeks
• 1 month
• 6 months
• etc.
  

So while my XYDataSeries contains date values for the X axis, I want to:

1. Specify what are the data points for which labels are displayed (note from the list above that they are not evenly spaced)
   
2. Display a custom label for each of those points, instead of the date

Ideally I'd be able to create my XYDatSeries in this manner:

            return new XYDataSeries
                       {
                           XValuesSource = myData.Dates.ToArray(),
                           ValuesSource = myData.Values.ToArray(),

                           // This is what I'd like to do: specify a custom label for my dates
                           XLabelsSource = myData.DateLabels.ToArray()
                       };
 

Thanks for your help

Hi,

This feature will be available in new V2 release. The labels can be specified as pairs of label and axis value or with axis
ItemsSource/ItemValueBinding/ItemLabelBinding properties.
