How to set a custom origin for an axis in WinForms Chart?
In Syncfusion® WinForms Chart, by default, the axis calculates its origin based on the data within the series. Utilizing the CustomOrigin property of an axis, you can modify this origin. To allow the origin to be set manually with the Origin property, ensure that CustomOrigin is set to true.
//Assign the X and Y axes
this.chartControl1.PrimaryXAxis.ValueType = ChartValueType.Category;
this.chartControl1.PrimaryYAxis.ValueType = ChartValueType.Double;
//Configure the chart series
CategoryAxisDataBindModel dataSeriesModel = new CategoryAxisDataBindModel(dataSource);
dataSeriesModel.CategoryName = "Year";
dataSeriesModel.YNames = new string[] { "Sales" };
ChartSeries chartSeries = new ChartSeries("Sales");
chartSeries.Type = ChartSeriesType.Column;
chartSeries.CategoryModel = dataSeriesModel;
//Assign a custom origin value for the Y-axis
this.chartControl1.PrimaryYAxis.CustomOrigin = true;
this.chartControl1.PrimaryYAxis.Origin = 30;'Assign the X and Y axes
columnChart.PrimaryYAxis.ValueType = ChartValueType.Double
columnChart.PrimaryXAxis.ValueType = ChartValueType.Category
'Configure the chart series
Dim chartdatabindmodel1 As CategoryAxisDataBindModel = New CategoryAxisDataBindModel(viewmodel.PlantDetails)
chartdatabindmodel1.CategoryName = "Year"
chartdatabindmodel1.YNames = New String() {"Sales"}
Dim chartseries1 As ChartSeries = New ChartSeries("Sales")
chartseries1.CategoryModel = chartdatabindmodel1
chartseries1.Type = ChartSeriesType.Column
columnChart.Series.Add(chartseries1)
'Assign a custom origin value for the Y-axis
columnChart.PrimaryYAxis.CustomOrigin = True
columnChart.PrimaryYAxis.Origin = 30Output:
