member this.StartFromZero : System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.StartFromZero with get, set

Public Property StartFromZero As StartFromZero

Property Value

StartFromZero

A StartFromZero enumeration value that indicates whether to start the scale break from zero.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to enable and customize a scale break after the Chart control has been added to the design surface.

Imports System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting  

Private Function 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 = StartFromZero.Auto  

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

End Function  

using System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting  

private void AddChartData()  
{  
   chart1.Series["Series1"].Points.Add(new DataPoint(1, 2));  
   chart1.Series["Series1"].Points.Add(new DataPoint(2, 4));  
   chart1.Series["Series1"].Points.Add(new DataPoint(3, 400000));  
   chart1.Series["Series1"].Points.Add(new DataPoint(4, 3));  
}  

private void AddScaleBreaks()  
{  
   // Enable scale breaks.  
   chart1.ChartAreas["ChartArea1"].AxisY.ScaleBreakStyle.Enabled = true;  

   // Show scale break if more than 25% of the chart is empty space.  
   chart1.ChartAreas["ChartArea1"].AxisY.ScaleBreakStyle.CollapsibleSpaceThreshold = 25;  

   // Set the line width of the scale break.  
   chart1.ChartAreas["ChartArea1"].AxisY.ScaleBreakStyle.LineWidth = 2;  

   // Set the color of the scale break.  
   chart1.ChartAreas["ChartArea1"].AxisY.ScaleBreakStyle.LineColor = Color.Red;  

   // If all data points are significantly far from zero, the chart will calculate the scale minimum value.  
   chart1.ChartAreas["ChartArea1"].AxisY.ScaleBreakStyle.StartFromZero = StartFromZero.Auto;  

   // Set the spacing gap between the lines of the scale break (as a percentage of the Y-axis).  
    chart1.ChartAreas["ChartArea1"].AxisY.ScaleBreakStyle.Spacing = 2;  
}  

Remarks

If the StartFromZero property is set to Auto, the chart will automatically calculate whether to start the Y-axis scale minimum from the lowest value in the series or from zero.
