X-axis scaling

Other than changing the scale, is there anything else that I need to do in order to "zoom" on the X-Axis? We have a custom control to set the zoom level on this axis, and each time the user adjusts the zoom I want to double the zoom level, hence I'm doing:

    chart.View.AxisX.Scale /= 2;

However this doesn't seem to have any effect. Any clues as to what I may be missing? Thanks.

OK, so it turns out that you have to define the Min and Max of the AxisX in order for scaling to work, or use AutoMin / AutoMax.

So the next question is - if I don't want to use AutoMin and AutoMax, and my X-Axis are time values, what should I set the Min and Max to?

Hello? C1? Anybody there?

This is a good question that we would all like an answer to.

 Hello Tom,

Sorry for the delay. Chart uses OLE datetime presentation so to convert datetime to double you should use ToOADate() method. E.g.

  c1Chart1.View.AxisX.Min = dateTime1.ToOADate();
  c1Chart1.View.AxisX.Max = dateTime2.ToOADate();

I can't seem to be able to set the scaling on a x-axis either. My plot code is as follows and none of the AxisX commands seem to be having any effect. public void fillplot1(string x_axis, string y_axis, C1Chart chart) { chart.Data.Children.Clear(); double[] xdata = new double[sim1.Tables["data"].Rows.Count - 1]; double[] ydata = new double[sim1.Tables["data"].Rows.Count - 1]; for (int i = 0; i
