Programmatically control the X Axis Label Format

[Kreuters]

hey

i have a scatter plot, on which i am plotting various types of graph. i need to change the axis label format for each one, but i cannot seem to locate the property that controls this.

can anyone help?

Hello Kreuters,

Can you explain in greater detail what you mean when you say 'label format'? What do you wish to have displaying as the X axis scale and what does it show at the moment?

Also which Measurement Studio objects are you working with in particular and which version do you have installed?

Hi Kreuters,

I assume you are talking about the LabelFormat property associated with XAxis objects. That property is part of the MajorDivisions or MinorDivisions property of the particular x-axis object that you are working with. Now that we are clear on that, to change the LabelFormat programmatically, you could say:

// Remember that XAxes collection is zero-based
sampleWaveformGraph.XAxes[0].MajorDivisions.LabelFormat = new FormatString(FormatStringMode.Engineering, "ee0"); 

In the NI Measurement Studio Help, navigate to NI Measurement Studio Help >> NI Measurement Studio .NET Class Library >> Reference and then find the FormatString Class section. This has additional code snippets for you.

Hope this helps!

Best Regards,
