Example

// Modify the start and end marks on the vertical axis of "CHART_Chart" control
// The mark will go from 500 to 1000
// Restore the default values

// Initialize the window
gnYMin is int
gnYMax is int

// Button for modifying the mark
gnYMin = CHART_Chart..YAxisMin
gnYMax = CHART_Chart..YAxisMax
CHART_Chart.Origin(500, 1000, grYCoordinate)
CHART_Chart.Draw()

// Button for restoring the mark
CHART_Chart.Origin(gnYMin, gnYMax, grYCoordinate)
CHART_Chart.Draw()

Syntax

<Chart name>.grOrigin_object(<Minimum mark> [, <Maximum mark> [, <Type of axis>]])

<Chart name>: Control name

Name of the Chart control to use (in the window, page or report editor).
Only the interactive Chart controls are available.

<Minimum mark>: Real

Start mark on the specified axis.
Versions 23 and later
This parameter can also correspond to a duration, a date, a time or a date-time.
New in version 23
This parameter can also correspond to a duration, a date, a time or a date-time.
This parameter can also correspond to a duration, a date, a time or a date-time.

<Maximum mark>: Optional real

End mark on the specified axis. If this parameter is not specified, <Maximum mark> corresponds to the maximum value of chart data.
Versions 23 and later
This parameter can also correspond to a duration, a date, a time or a date-time.
New in version 23
This parameter can also correspond to a duration, a date, a time or a date-time.
This parameter can also correspond to a duration, a date, a time or a date-time.

<Type of axis>: Optional constant

Axis for which the marks must be modified:
grSecondaryYCoordinate Secondary Y-axis (vertical axis).
grXCoordinate
(default value) X-axis (horizontal axis).
grYCoordinate Y-axis (vertical axis).
Versions 18 and later
grZCoordinate
New in version 18
grZCoordinate
grZCoordinate Z axis (Surface charts only).
This constant is not available.

Remarks

Marks on axes

X-axis (horizontal axis): <Maximum mark> and <Minimum mark> correspond to the maximum and minimum data values in the series displayed.
Y-axis (vertical axis): <Minimum mark> and <Maximum mark> correspond to the minimum and maximum data values.
Limits: 100 marks above and 100 marks below the X axis.
To modify the frequency of marks on the horizontal or vertical axis of a chart, use <Chart>.Graduate.
The data defined by <Chart>.Origin will be taken into account during the next call to <Chart>.Draw.

Types of charts

The marks on axes have no effect on the Pie charts.

Restoring the default values

To restore the display of the chart before the origin was modified, the minimum and maximum values of axes must be saved. These values can be known via the following properties:


Versions 14 and later XAxisMax New in version 14 XAxisMax XAxisMax	The XAxisMax property is used to determine the upper bound of the X-axis in a Chart control. This property can be used in the event "Zoom" of a Chart control to identify the section displayed.
Versions 14 and later XAxisMin New in version 14 XAxisMin XAxisMin	The XAxisMin property is used to determine the lower bound of the X-axis in a Chart control. This property can be used in the event "Zoom" of a Chart control to identify the section displayed.
Versions 14 and later YAxisMax New in version 14 YAxisMax YAxisMax	The YAxisMax property is used to determine the upper bound of the Y-axis in a Chart control. This property can be used in the event "Zoom" of a Chart control to identify the section displayed.
Versions 14 and later YAxisMin New in version 14 YAxisMin YAxisMin	The YAxisMin property is used to determine the lower bound of the Y-axis in a Chart control.
Versions 18 and later ZAxisMax New in version 18 ZAxisMax ZAxisMax	The ZAxisMax property is used to determine the upper bound of the Z-axis in a Chart control (Surface chart).
Versions 18 and later ZAxisMin New in version 18 ZAxisMin ZAxisMin	The ZAxisMin property is used to determine the lower bound of the Z-axis in a Chart control (Surface chart).

Versions 20 and later

Remark: <Chart>.Zoom can also be used to view a section of the chart. However, the final user can restore the initial configuration via the context menu of the chart ("Initial zoom").

New in version 20

Remark: <Chart>.Zoom can also be used to view a section of the chart. However, the final user can restore the initial configuration via the context menu of the chart ("Initial zoom").
