OWC TypeLine-Chart, bottom axis label - why does it behave strangely?

[Philip Hostettler]

Hi there!

I'm implementing an ASP-Page which shows a chart of some temperature-values.
These values are written into the database every 30 minutes, so there are 48
records per day.

I've set the size of the gif-Chart to 800 * 600. Up to about 15 days/ 720
records, it works without problems. With .TickLabelSpacing, I managed to
have always 7 labels (So there is enough space for every of the seven dates,
e.g. 24.10.2004 13:30). But the smaller the distance between the little
lines on the X-Axis become, the nearer is my problem... When there is not a
pixel of white space between two lines anymore, the labels are written
vertically, one letter under the other (not the whole string is
vertically/turned in an angle of 90 ° - this would not be so bad..., it's
displayed like the following date below!).
e.g.
2
4
..
1
0
..
2
0
0
4

1
3
:
3
0

But there is enough space for seven labels... The width of 800 pixel does
not change.
This problem persists also when I choose the TickLabelSpacing so wide that
there are just 3 or one label(s)....

Can anybody help to solve my problem?? Is it possible to show perhaps only
every 5th little line of the x-Axis or anything like that?

Hello Philip.

I could not repro the issue you're seeing where the category labels are
displayed straight down one character at a time. Can you provide the OWC
version you're using? Also how did you pass the data to the Chartspace
control (ie database connection, literal data via SetData(), or from a
Spreadsheet control) ?
