How To: Get Axis Values on Zooming WPF Chart

C1Chart for WPF offers a great feature in terms of zooming for better view-ability of a particular area of the chart. In this blog, we will discuss how to retrieve the 'Displayed' Min & Max Values of an Axis object after performing Zooming in C1WPFChart. After zooming the chart object, the 'Actual' Min & Max Values are never modified. Therefore, to retrieve the 'Displayed' Min & Max values for the Axis object, we will perform a simple calculation using the ActualMin, ActualMax, Value & Scale properties of the respective Axis object.

  • Create a static Class
  • The Static class's methods will return the 'Displayed' Max & Min values for an Axis object

public static class AxisExtension  
{  

    public static double GetDispMin(this Axis axis)  
    {  

        return axis.ActualMin + axis.Value *  

            (axis.ActualMax - axis.ActualMin) * (1 - axis.Scale);  

    }  

    public static double GetDispMax(this Axis axis)  
    {  

        return axis.ActualMax - (1 - axis.Value) *  

            (axis.ActualMax - axis.ActualMin) * (1 - axis.Scale);  

    }  

}
