JFreeChart BarChart setUpperMargin to next interval? - jfreechart

I am using JFreeChart to create a BarChart. My question: is there a way to set the uppermargin of the graph to stop at the next interval? As an example, say a Bar Graph is made with range intervals of 5. Say the tallest bar ends at 30. Is there a way automatically set margins to make the graph go vertically until 35-the next interval? I know there is a setUpperMargin method but that requires inputting double values until one achieves the upper range he wants. Instead, is there a way to just set the margin to go for another interval after the end of the bar graphs? Thank you.

Query your chosen CategoryDataset for the maximal range value and use setUpperBound() on the range axis. BarChartDemo1, included in the distribution, shows how to reference an axis.

SSRS bar chart issue

I am trying to add one box and one line on x-axis. Please look at below bar chart.
I tried using stripline but I cannot set height for stripline. It goes till 100.
Is there any way I can do this?
Unfortunately, SSRS doesn't provide the functionality you're looking for. A stripline is the closest you can get to that, but like you said, you can't control its height. The only way you could simulate this behavior would be to use a Background Image for your stripline, but that may be more work than it's worth. It would require a lot of manual adjustment to get the image to line up on the chart.
I would add a series to the chart using the Stock chart (under Range). In the Series Properties I would set the High value to the height desired for your line (~52 in your example). Ideally this would come from a dataset value.
Set the Low, Open and Close values to 0.
Try two Stripe Lines. First, create the strip line which represents the vertical value you're after. In my case, I made one that was 50% of the graph height off of the Y-Axis.
Chart Properties:
Height of StripeLine:
Once the stripe line is the correct height for the chart, create a 'mask' stripe line along the X-axis that will cover the portion of the Y-axis line you want hidden.
Chart Propterites:
Width of Stripe Mask:
Using these methods, and some really clever expression writing, you should be able to make the line exactly as high, and as wide as you desire.

JFreeChart: Logarithmic Axis Tick Labels missing

I am using JFreeChart to make XYLineCharts with a Logarithmic y-axis but am facing an issue that I am unable to resolve.
My x, y values are very low in some cases (in one such case, the y-axis values for the dataset range between 4.5e-8 to 1.7). I plot these values on a XYLineChart using a Logarithmic Axis for the y-axis (and using LogAxis.createLogTickUnits(Locale.ENGLISH) and .setExpTickLabelsFlag(true) on the y-axis to create the exponential tick units). I set my range's bounds from 4.5e-8 to 1.7 and can see the points plotted clearly but there are no tick labels visible for the y-axis !
I was earlier having this issue while zooming into the charts but I have fixed the zoom & AutoZoom by over-riding those methods.
My current LogarithmicAxis works well for most of my x, y datasets but in a few cases, the y-axis is plotted but does not show any Tick Labels on it, despite my creating them & setting their visibility to true.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this & ensure that the Tick Labels are visible no matter what the y-axis values may be, please let me know soon as I need to get this done ASAP.
Thanks.

Silverlight Area Series chart: how to define interval for X-Axis

I have a silverlight chart with an Area Series.
my data source returns many points representing time of day to be displayed in the chart's X-axis.
since the X-axis has many values, the values appear scrambled as each value is stuck beside the next value.
is there a method to avoid displaying all the values in the X-axis and display intervals instead ?
thanks
The DateTimeAxis has Interval and IntervalType properties that allow you to set the interval the you prefer.

How to set axis line at bottom when all data 0 in jfreechart's bar chart?

I use Jfreechart's bar chart to show data. But in case all data is 0, the axis line will be displayed in middle of chart. I just want to display the axis line in bottom as usual cases.
How can I configure it? Thanks!
Assuming a DefaultCategoryDataset for example, use the clear() method when all values are sufficiently close to zero that you want to display no data. Alternatively, use setRangeWithMargins() when a specific range would be more meaningful.

Silverlight toolkit chart too many labels on axis

I'm using the newest chart control from silverlight toolkit to plot some data. For small cases it works ok, but for bigger samples the X axis labels overlap. It would be no problem if the chart would simply omit some of the values or I could specify to just show every 10th of them ...
I couldn't find any properties providing this behavior. Any ideas?
Assuming this is a Linear axis then you can specify the interval to use via the the Interval property on the axis.
If the axis in question is Category Axis then dropping some labels may not be valuable to the user. One option is to use the LayoutTransfomer to rotate the labels to an angle reducing the width needed for each one. See this Delay Blog on the subject.
