 Fixed X axis / Y axis ratio |

Hello,
I cannot find a similar question in the forum, so I will ask. Is there a way to "lock" the X and Y axis ratio? In particular, I want to draw a cross section consisting of multiple (x,y) points. Both axes will display the same unit of length (e.g., m), so I do not want the image to be "distorted". The step in X direction must be the same as in the Y direction. Can ChartDirector do that?
Thank you in advance, |

Hi achar,
For "cross section", are you referring to the cross section like in the "Contour Chart Cross Section" sample code:
https://www.advsofteng.com/doc/cdnet.htm#contourcrosssection.htm
Or are you just referring to a general chart with an x-axis and a y-axis?
For a general XY Chart, if you can use Axis.setLinearScale to specify the axis scale (instead of letting ChartDirector automatically determine the axis scale), then you can always specify any scale you like and you can certainly lock the x/y axis ratio with your code. For example:
// Setting both the x-axis and y-axis to 0 to 10.
c.xAxis().setLinearScale(0, 10, 1);
c.yAxis().setLInearScale(0, 10, 1);
If you let ChartDirector auto-scale both the x-axis and y-axis, then ChartDirector will determine the axis scale to best fit your data points, but it cannot ensure the one x-axis unit and one y-axis unit are of the same length in pixels.
You can let ChartDirector auto-scale one axis, and configure the second axis to synchronize with the first axis using Axis.syncScale. The two axes scale will then be locked into a fixed ratio (such as 1). Note that in this case the second axis scale may not be best fit for your data. In particular, depending on your application, it may be possible some data points will fall outside the axis.
