2.120.43 ChartAxis.Scalar

Applies to RDL 2008/01, RDL 2010/01, and RDL 2016/01

The ChartAxis.Scalar element specifies whether the values along a chart axis are scalar values (that is, numeric or date) that are displayed on the Chart in a continuous axis. The type of scalar (Date, Integer ([XMLSCHEMA2/2] section 3.3.17), or Float ([XMLSCHEMA2] section 3.2.4)) value is derived from the first non-null value found. All values are converted to that type. If any non-scalar value is present, the axis MUST revert to non-scalar.

The ChartAxis.Scalar element is optional. If this element is present, its value MUST be a Boolean ([XMLSCHEMA2/2] section 3.2.2). If this element is not present, its value is interpreted as false.

The ChartAxis.Scalar element is interpreted as true if both of the following statements are true:

• This is a ChartAxis in the ChartCategoryAxes.

• Any ChartSeries plotted against this axis contains a ChartDataPoint with ChartDataPointValues.X defined.

Following is the parent element of the ChartAxis.Scalar element.
