Major ticks and minor ticks

[franckgar]

Hi,

I would like to configure minor and major ticks of my chart like this picture :

Is there an option in the class TChartAxis to do it ?

Thanks,

Hi Franck,

Yes, this can be done using negative lengths:

Code: Select all

  With Chart1.Axes do
  begin
    Left.TickLength:=-10;
    Left.Grid.Visible:=false;
    Left.MinorTickLength:=-5;

    Bottom.TickLength:=-10;
    Bottom.Grid.Visible:=false;
    Bottom.MinorTickLength:=-5;
  end;

Here is the result of your solution : http://cjoint.com/?hwrrZPG8aN
It's not bad but there is still a rest of the major and minor ticks on the wrong side of the lines.
How could it be improved ?

Hi Franck,

Yes, you are right. A solution would be increasing axes width:

Code: Select all

  With Chart1.Axes do
  begin
    Left.TickLength:=-10;
    Left.Grid.Visible:=false;
    Left.MinorTickLength:=-5;
    Left.Axis.Width:=3;

    Bottom.TickLength:=-10;
    Bottom.Grid.Visible:=false;
    Bottom.MinorTickLength:=-5;
    Bottom.Axis.Width:=3;
  end;

However I've already added that to our defect list to be fixed for future releases.
