Scrolling X axis Plot area - Silverlight Column Se

Question

I have a Column series chart which is working fine.

I have a feature that i need to add to that, i want the horizontall scroll to be enabled to the plot area that is x-axis.

Here is the screen shot:

If you see the screen shot i have six items, and the bar are very thin because of more number of items, so suppose if i have 20 items then the bars will not be visible at all.

So can we make the X-axis bar scrollable horizontally ?

Answer 1

Finally i have solved it, but i have not made any changes to the APIs,instead i have followed the below approach.

1) We have an option to scroll the entire chart.

2) Make the entire bar chart to scroll and then remove the Y axis values.

3) Now create a Dummy layout with Y axis values using Grid row definitions.This will your root Grid.

4) Now inside the root grid place you chart grid.

5) Now when you take n no of tests you can scroll the chart, but your dummy layout with Y axis values remains constant as it is, so for the user it looks like the bars are scrolling.

Enjoy :)
