Problem with OnCalculateMinMax()

[blar58]

I am not sure if I understand OnCalculateMinMax() .

I have added the test method in my code ( Obviously I have also set IsAutoScale = true; in SetDefault state :

public override void OnCalculateMinMax()
{
// make sure to always start fresh values to calculate new min/max values
double tmpMin = double.MaxValue;
double tmpMax = double.MinValue;


tmpMin = 68.50;
tmpMax = 74.00;

// Finally, set the minimum and maximum Y-Axis values
MinValue = tmpMin;
MaxValue = tmpMax;
}

I should expect the chart range set to 74.00 and 68.50.

That's not what I get.

Hello blar58,

Thank you for the post.

What is the result that you see?

Have you also tried placing the script in a new panel where the only item being plotted is that item?


I look forward to being of further assistance.

I see the whole chart range not the range set by OnCalculateMinMax()

If I put the OnCalculate in a new panel it shows the right scale.
But what I need to do is scaling the chart panel

Hello blar58,

If you have it in the price panel you would need to right click the chart -> Data series and uncheck auto scale. The DataSeries will also be autoscaled by the chart in that use case.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
