Hours labelling for RadChart


I'm trying to use Telerik's RadChart (Spline) on WP7 to display the hourly temperature forecast. I'm having a hard time finding information on how to set the horizontal-axis to group by hour. The examples project contains a chart grouped by month, but when I change

DateTimeComponent="Month" LabelFormat="MMM yyyy"

to:

DateTimeComponent="Hour" LabelFormat="hh ddd"

I get a divide-by-zero error when it tries to build the axis.

Here is an example of what I'm trying to achieve:

NOAA Hourly Weather Forecast Graph

Anyone know of a tutorial or what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks


Solution

  • What solved it for me was to switch DateTimeCategoricalAxis to a DateTimeContinuousAxis. I found the examples in the Telerik samples app very helpful.

    <telerikChart:DateTimeContinuousAxis
        LabelFitMode="MultiLine"
        LabelFormat="htt"
        MajorStep="6"
        LabelStyle="{StaticResource PhoneTextSmallStyle}"
        MajorStepUnit="Hour"
        PlotMode="OnTicks" />
