  viewport chart ticks on all labels

Hi Peter,

In the attachment I have a "normal" chart which has two xAxis, the first for month the second for the year. For each month there is avalue. There is a grid line for each label / i.e. month.

Now I need to have something similar in a viewport chart.
I wonder if it's possible
to have a tick on each month (even if the label might not be shown), but not between month, because at an increased tick density i get ticks also between the labels....so the question is if the ticks could be bound to the positions of the labels


In the second attachment I show you what I did so far.
Thank you for your help!

Hi Andreas,

My understanding is that you do not want the tick spacing to be less than 1 month (such as a tick every 10 days or 15 days).

As the chart is zoomed in, the x-axis will contain only a few months (eg. 2 months), and ChartDirector has a tendency to put ticks every few days. You can use Axis.setMinTickinc to force the tick spacing to be at least 1 month. The code is:

'tick spacing at least one month
c.xAxis().setMinTickInc(86400 * 30)
