AxisScaleBreakStyle.Spacing Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting

Assembly:

System.Web.DataVisualization.dll

Gets or sets the spacing gap between the lines of the scale break. The spacing gap is represented as a percentage of the Y-axis.

public:
 property double Spacing { double get(); void set(double value); };

public double Spacing { get; set; }

member this.Spacing : double with get, set

Public Property Spacing As Double

Property Value

Double

A double value that represents the spacing gap between the lines of the scale break.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to set properties relating to the scale break. It is assumed that the Chart control has been added to the design surface.

Imports System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting  

' Add data to the chart  
Private Sub AddChartData()   

    chart1.Series("Default").Points.Add(New DataPoint(1, 2))   
    chart1.Series("Default").Points.Add(New DataPoint(2, 4))   
    chart1.Series("Default").Points.Add(New DataPoint(3, 400000))   
    chart1.Series("Default").Points.Add(New DataPoint(4, 3))   

End Sub  

Private Function AddScaleBreaks()  

   ' Enable scale breaks.  
   chart1.ChartAreas("Default").AxisY.ScaleBreakStyle.Enabled = True   

   ' Show scale break if more than 25% of the chart is empty space.       
   chart1.ChartAreas("Default").AxisY.ScaleBreakStyle.CollapsibleSpaceThreshold = 25   

   ' Set the line width of the scale break.      
   chart1.ChartAreas("Default").AxisY.ScaleBreakStyle.LineWidth = 2   

   ' Set the color of the scale break.   
   chart1.ChartAreas("Default").AxisY.ScaleBreakStyle.LineColor = Color.Red   

   ' If all data points are significantly far from zero, the chart will calculate the scale minimum value.   
   chart1.ChartAreas("Default").AxisY.ScaleBreakStyle.StartFromZero = AutoBool.Auto  

   ' Set the spacing gap between the lines of the scale break (as a percentage of Y-axis).  
   chart1.ChartAreas["Default"].AxisY.ScaleBreakStyle.Spacing = 2;  

End Function  

using System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting  

// Add data to the chart  
private void AddChartData()  
{  
   chart1.Series["Default"].Points.Add(new DataPoint(1, 2));  
   chart1.Series["Default"].Points.Add(new DataPoint(2, 4));  
   chart1.Series["Default"].Points.Add(new DataPoint(3, 400000));  
   chart1.Series["Default"].Points.Add(new DataPoint(4, 3));  
}  

private void AddScaleBreaks()  
{  
   // Enable scale breaks.  
   chart1.ChartAreas["Default"].AxisY.ScaleBreakStyle.Enabled = true;  

   // Show scale break if more than 25% of the chart is empty space.  
   chart1.ChartAreas["Default"].AxisY.ScaleBreakStyle.CollapsibleSpaceThreshold = 25;  

   // Set the line width of the scale break.  
   chart1.ChartAreas["Default"].AxisY.ScaleBreakStyle.LineWidth = 2;  

   // Set the color of the scale break.  
   chart1.ChartAreas["Default"].AxisY.ScaleBreakStyle.LineColor = Color.Red;  

   // If all data points are significantly far from zero, the chart will calculate the scale minimum value.  
   chart1.ChartAreas["Default"].AxisY.ScaleBreakStyle.StartFromZero = AutoBool.Auto;  

   // Set the spacing gap between the lines of the scale break (as a percentage of Y-axis).  
    chart1.ChartAreas["Default"].AxisY.ScaleBreakStyle.Spacing = 2;
