public int MinorLength { get; set; }
Public Property MinorLength As Integer
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Int32 |
An integer value which specifies the length of the minor tickmarks, in pixels. It should be greater than 0.
|
To specify the length of the major tickmarks, use the corresponding TickmarksBase.Length property.
For more information, refer to Grid Lines, Tickmarks and Interlacing.
This example demonstrates how the grid lines and tickmarks of an axis can be customized at runtime.
To access an axis, you should cast your chart’s diagram object to the required diagram type. Then, use the Axis2D.Tickmarks and AxisBase.GridLines properties to access the corresponding elements. To define the number of minor tickmarks (grid lines), use the AxisBase.MinorCount property.
// Cast the chart's diagram to the XYDiagram type, to access its axes.
XYDiagram diagram = (XYDiagram)chartControl1.Diagram;
// Customize the appearance of the axes' tickmarks.
diagram.AxisX.Tickmarks.CrossAxis = true;
diagram.AxisX.Tickmarks.Length = 5;
diagram.AxisX.Tickmarks.Thickness = 2;
diagram.AxisY.Tickmarks.Visible = false;
