public NumericMeasureUnit MeasureUnit { get; set; }

Public Property MeasureUnit As NumericMeasureUnit

Property Value

Type	Description
NumericMeasureUnit

A NumericMeasureUnit enumeration value which represents the axis’ detail level.

Available values:

Name	Description
Ones

Specifies ones as the measurement unit for numeric values.

| | Tens |

Specifies tens as the measurement unit for numeric values.

| | Hundreds |

Specifies hundreds as the measurement unit for numeric values.

| | Thousands |

Specifies thousands as the measurement unit for numeric values.

| | Millions |

Specifies millions as the measurement unit for numeric values.

| | Billions |

Specifies billions as the measurement unit for numeric values.

| | Custom |

The measurement unit for numeric values is specified by the NumericScaleOptions.CustomMeasureUnit property.

Property Paths

You can access this nested property as listed below:

Object Type	Path to MeasureUnit
AxisBase

.NumericScaleOptions .MeasureUnit

Remarks

This property is available when the SeriesBase.ArgumentScaleType is set to either Auto or Numeric , the SeriesBase.ValueScaleType property is set to Numeric , and the ScaleOptionsBase.ScaleMode property is set to Manual.

NumericScaleOptions.MeasureUnit = Thousands	NumericScaleOptions.MeasureUnit = Hundreds

Note

To access NumericScaleOptions, use the AxisBase.NumericScaleOptions property.

To define a numeric measurement unit to which the beginning of a diagram’s gridlines and labels should be aligned, use the NumericScaleOptions.GridAlignment property.

Example

This example shows how to use NumericScaleOptions to reduce the number of visible series points.

The following code configures the axis scale settings to resemble to the chart appearance above:

C#
VB.NET

csharp

NumericScaleOptions numericScaleOptions = ((XYDiagram)chartControl.Diagram).AxisX.NumericScaleOptions;

numericScaleOptions.ScaleMode = ScaleMode.Manual;
numericScaleOptions.MeasureUnit = NumericMeasureUnit.Hundreds;
numericScaleOptions.GridOffset = 5;
numericScaleOptions.AggregateFunction = AggregateFunction.Average;
numericScaleOptions.GridAlignment = NumericGridAlignment.Thousands;
numericScaleOptions.GridSpacing = 1;

Dim numericScaleOptions As NumericScaleOptions = CType(chartControl.Diagram,XYDiagram).AxisX.NumericScaleOptions

numericScaleOptions.ScaleMode = ScaleMode.Manual
numericScaleOptions.MeasureUnit = NumericMeasureUnit.Hundreds
numericScaleOptions.GridOffset = 5
numericScaleOptions.AggregateFunction = AggregateFunction.Average
numericScaleOptions.GridAlignment = NumericGridAlignment.Thousands
numericScaleOptions.GridSpacing = 1

The following table lists the API members the code above uses:

Member	Description
AxisBase.NumericScaleOptions	Stores the options that define the behavior of a scale when its type is numeric.
ScaleOptionsBase.ScaleMode	Gets or sets the scale mode for an axis.
ScaleMode	Lists the values that specify the scale mode for an axis.
`NumericScaleOptions.MeasureUnit`	Gets or sets the detail level for numeric values.
NumericMeasureUnit	Lists the values that specify the detail level for numeric values.
ScaleGridOptionsBase.GridOffset	Gets or sets the offset of grid lines and major tickmarks.
ScaleGridOptionsBase.AggregateFunction	Gets or sets the value indicating the aggregate function that should be used to relieve data.
AggregateFunction	Lists the values that specify the aggregate function used for an axis.
NumericScaleOptions.GridAlignment	Gets or sets the numeric measure unit to which the beginning of an axis’ gridlines and labels should be aligned.
NumericGridAlignment	Lists the values that specify the numeric-time measurement unit, to which the beginning of a diagram’s gridlines and labels should be aligned.
ScaleGridOptionsBase.GridSpacing	Gets or sets the interval between grid lines and major tickmarks.
