Force axis to use given number of major tick marks in Visiblox chart

Question

When using a LinearAxis for the Y axis in a Visiblox chart, I would like to force the axis to use a given number of major tick marks while still having the toolkit automatically calculate the axis range and tick mark locations. For instance, I may have a primary and secondary Y axis and I want both axes to use the same number of major ticks so that their horizontal gridlines overlap. Is this possible?

Answer 1

There are a couple of options. Firstly you can set the MajorTickInterval to force the distribution of major ticks. Depending on your use-case you may need to look at the actual range of the axis, and divide by the number of ticks you want to get a sensible interval.

The other alternative is to subclass the axis and override the GetMajorTickValues method which is what the axis uses to determine where to place ticks.
