Public Property AutomaticMeasureUnitsCalculator As INumericMeasureUnitsCalculator

Property Value

Type	Description
INumericMeasureUnitsCalculator

An object of the class implementing the INumericMeasureUnitsCalculator interface.

Example

The automatic numeric scale options provide the capability to use a custom measurement unit calculator to determine the current measurement unit if the predefined one does not fit your requirements. Design a class that implements the INumericMeasureUnitsCalculator interface and assign it to the AutomaticNumericScaleOptions.AutomaticMeasureUnitsCalculator property to use a custom measurement units calculation algorithm:

C#
VB.NET
XAML

csharp

public class CustomAutomaticNumericMeasureUnitsCalculator : INumericMeasureUnitsCalculator {
    public double CalculateMeasureUnit(
        IEnumerable<Series> series, 
        double axisLength, int pixelsPerUnit, 
        double visualMin, double visualMax, 
        double wholeMin, double wholeMax
    ) {
        double rawMeasureUnit = (visualMax - visualMin) * pixelsPerUnit / axisLength;
        return Math.Pow(10, GetDigitCount((int)Math.Abs(rawMeasureUnit)));
    }

    private static readonly int[] valueStops = {
        9, 99, 999, 9999, 99999, 999999, 9999999,
        99999999, 999999999, Int32.MaxValue
    };
    private static int GetDigitCount(int value) {
        for (int i = 0; ; i++)
            if (value <= valueStops[i])
                return i + 1;
    }
}

Class CustomAutomaticNumericMeasureUnitsCalculator
    Implements INumericMeasureUnitsCalculator
    Public Function CalculateMeasureUnit(
        series As IEnumerable(Of Series),
        axisLength As Double, pixelsPerUnit As Integer,
        visualMin As Double, visualMax As Double,
        wholeMin As Double, wholeMax As Double
    ) As Double Implements INumericMeasureUnitsCalculator.CalculateMeasureUnit
        Dim rawMeasureUnit = (visualMax - visualMin) * pixelsPerUnit / axisLength
        Return Math.Pow(10, GetDigitCount(CType(Math.Abs(rawMeasureUnit), Integer)))
    End Function

    Private Shared ReadOnly valueStops As Integer() = {
            9, 99, 999, 9999, 99999, 999999, 9999999,
            99999999, 999999999, Int32.MaxValue
    }
    Private Shared Function GetDigitCount(value As Integer) As Integer
        For i As Integer = 0 To valueStops.Length
            If (value <= valueStops(i)) Then Return i + 1
        Next
    End Function
