Time Span Scale
This web site builds the control from code behind but you could also grab it from the toolbox, this sample also uses a ViewModel to populate the properties of the control(s) in this sample.
View model
using System;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
using CommunityToolkit.Mvvm.ComponentModel;
using LiveChartsCore;
using LiveChartsCore.Defaults;
using LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView;
namespace ViewModelsSamples.Axes.TimeSpanScaled;
public partial class ViewModel : ObservableObject
{
public ISeries[] Series { get; set; } =
{
new ColumnSeries<TimeSpanPoint>
{
Values = new ObservableCollection<TimeSpanPoint>
{
new TimeSpanPoint(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1), 10),
new TimeSpanPoint(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(2), 6),
new TimeSpanPoint(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(3), 3),
new TimeSpanPoint(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(4), 12),
new TimeSpanPoint(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(5), 8),
},
}
};
// You can use the TimeSpanAxis class to define a time span based axis // mark
// The first parameter is the time between each point, in this case 1 day // mark
// you can also use 1 year, 1 month, 1 hour, 1 minute, 1 second, 1 millisecond, etc // mark
// The second parameter is a function that receives the value and returns the label // mark
public Axis[] XAxes { get; set; } =
{
new TimeSpanAxis(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1), date => date.ToString("fff") + "ms")
};
}
