Bar chart - negative values versus bottom axes

How do we compensate for the space needed to show negative bar marks?

The last bar has a negative value and now masks the bottom axes value. Can we fix this with some offset and if yes how do we calculate that margin?
Side question, can we manipulate the position of the bar marks? So that they will always be above the bar instead of following the value and be below the bar for negative values?

Hello,
Using the latest version of the TeeChart.dll and the following code:
Code: Select all
private void InitializeChart()
{
Bar bar = new Bar(tChart1.Chart);
bar.Add(3);
bar.Add(4);
bar.Add(5);
bar.Add(-2);
}
I obtain this:

that is, TeeChart correctly calculates the margin in this default case. Could you please send me a simple code example of the code you're using to obtain the TeeChart in the image you sent? I can then add to this code to show you the options.

The demo code for this is giving here :

If that does not render the same issue, I'll try to extract it from my project...

Hello Bank Van Breda,
The problem you're experiencing doesn't appear for us using the code below and latest TeeChart for Xamarin.Forms build 4.2018.4.26.
Code: Select all
ChartView tChart1;
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
tChart1 = new ChartView();
tChart1.Chart.Panning.Allow = ScrollModes.None;
tChart1.Chart.Panel.Gradient.Visible = false;
tChart1.Chart.Panel.Color = Color.White;
tChart1.Chart.Walls.Back.Visible = false;
tChart1.Chart.Header.Visible = false;
tChart1.Chart.Legend.Visible = false;
tChart1.Chart.Aspect.View3D = false;
Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Bar bar1 = new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Bar(tChart1.Chart);
bar1.Add(7.36);
bar1.Add(4.027);
bar1.Add(6.26);
bar1.Add(7.93);
bar1.Add(-0.596);
bar1.Color = Color.Green;
bar1.Marks.Visible = true;
bar1.Marks.Transparent = true;
bar1.Marks.BackColor = Color.Transparent;
bar1.Marks.Pen.Visible = false;
bar1.Marks.TailStyle = Steema.TeeChart.Styles.MarksTail.None;
bar1.Marks.Arrow.Visible = false;
bar1.Marks.Font.Size = 14;
bar1.GetSeriesMark += Bar1_GetSeriesMark;
tChart1.Chart.Axes.Left.Labels.Style = Steema.TeeChart.AxisLabelStyle.Text;
tChart1.Chart.Axes.Left.Labels.Font.Size = 14;
tChart1.Chart.Axes.Left.Ticks.Visible = true;
tChart1.Chart.Axes.Left.MinorTicks.Visible = true;
tChart1.Chart.Axes.Left.AxisPen.Visible = true;
tChart1.Chart.Axes.Left.Grid.Visible = false;
tChart1.Chart.Axes.Bottom.Grid.Visible = false;
tChart1.Chart.Axes.Bottom.Labels.Font.Size = 18;
tChart1.Chart.GetAxisLabel += Chart_GetAxisLabel;
tChart1.Chart.Panel.MarginLeft = 30;
tChart1.WidthRequest = 650;
tChart1.HeightRequest = 350;
Content = new StackLayout
{
Children =
{
tChart1
},
VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.CenterAndExpand,
HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.CenterAndExpand,
};
}
private void Chart_GetAxisLabel(object sender, GetAxisLabelEventArgs e)
{
if (sender == tChart1.Chart.Axes.Left)
{
if (e.ValueIndex != -1)
{
e.LabelText = e.Series.YValues[e.ValueIndex].ToString() + "%";
}
}
}
private void Bar1_GetSeriesMark(Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Series series, Steema.TeeChart.Styles.GetSeriesMarkEventArgs e)
{
e.MarkText = "+ " + e.MarkText;
}

A small reply already...
Indeed in a test app with given example code this works fine!
In our production app, not. So I'm trying to rework the example app to see if I can spot the difference.

Found it... we manipulate left Max value mark
BarChart.Chart.Axes.Left.MaximumOffset = 5;
BarChart.Chart.Axes.Left.AutomaticMaximum = false;
BarChart.Chart.Axes.Left.Maximum = maxValue;
And that MaximumOffset is not needed!
Sorry, our bad
