React Chart - argumentAxis

The argumentAxis object, which is described here, configures the argument axis individually. To specify common settings for all axes in a chart, use the commonAxisSettings object. Axis-specific settings override common settings.

$(function() {
    $("#chartContainer").dxChart({
        // ...
        commonAxisSettings: {
            aggregatedPointsPosition: 'crossTicks',
        },
    });
});

<dx-chart ... >
    <dxo-common-axis-settings [aggregatedPointsPosition]="crossTicks" >
    </dxo-common-series-settings>

• Implement a Custom Aggregate Function

For data aggregation, the argument axis is divided into intervals. Series points that fall within the same interval get aggregated together. The aggregationGroupWidth property defines the length of each interval in pixels.

For data aggregation, the argument axis is divided into intervals. Series points that fall within the same interval get aggregated together. The aggregationInterval property defines the length of each interval.

If the axis displays numbers, assign a number to this property. For example, an aggregationInterval of 100 produces the following intervals: 0 to 100, 100 to 200, 200 to 300, etc. If the axis displays date-time values, set this property to one of the accepted string values. Alternatively, you can set it to an object that contains one of the fields described in this section.

$(function() {
    $("#chartContainer").dxChart({
        // ...
        argumentAxis: {
            // Interval of one day
            aggregationInterval: "day",
            // Interval of five days
            aggregationInterval: { days: 5 }
        }
    });
});

On a logarithmic axis, intervals are calculated based on powers. For example, if the logarithmBase is 10 and the aggregationInterval is 1, the following intervals are produced: 10⁰ to 10¹, 10¹ to 10², 10² to 10³, etc. If the aggregationInterval becomes 2, intervals become longer: 10⁰ to 10², 10² to 10⁴, 10⁴ to 10⁶, etc.

If your data source stores numbers or dates as strings, specify the proper data type using this property. Make sure the dates have a valid format.

See Also

• valueAxis.valueType - casts values to a specified data type.
• argumentAxis.type - specifies the axis type.
• dataPrepareSettings.checkTypeForAllData - validates the type of each value coming from the data source.
• dataPrepareSettings.convertToAxisDataType - allows you to disable the type cast in favour of the UI component performance.

For axes displaying numbers, the distance between major ticks depends on two interconnected properties: axisDivisionFactor and tickInterval. Consider that you have specified both these properties. If the specified tick interval leads the pixel distance between two ticks to being less than the axisDivisionFactor value, this tick interval will be ignored.

Use the axisDivisionFactor property only if you need to set the distance between ticks not knowing the axis values. Otherwise, use the tickInterval property.

A scale break is an area across an axis that is displayed instead of a section of an axis range. Scale breaks improve the readability of chart sections with large gaps in their ranges.

Each object in the breaks array configures a single scale break. A scale break range should be at least two tick intervals. Otherwise, the scale break might not be visible.

• breakStyle

Arguments of the string type on discrete axes maintain the order of objects in the data source. Arguments of the number and date types are sorted in ascending order regardless of their order within the data source. Specify the categories array to set the required order of arguments. In the following example, arguments are sorted alphabetically:

$(function() {
    $('#chartContainer').dxChart({
        // ...
        dataSource: dataSource,
        argumentAxis: {
            categories: continentNames,
            argumentField: 'continent'
        }
    });

    const dataSource = [

This property supports the following colors:

• Hexadecimal colors
• RGB colors
• RGBA colors
• Predefined/cross-browser color names
• Predefined SVG colors
• Paint server address

Each object in the constantLines array configures a single constant line. Setting the value property is necessary for a constant line to be displayed.

See Also

• argumentAxis.constantLineStyle - specifies the appearance of those constant lines that belong to the argument axis.
• commonAxisSettings.constantLineStyle - specifies the appearance of all constant lines in the UI component.

See Also

• argumentAxis.constantLines[] - configures individual constant lines. Overrides the properties of the argumentAxis.constantLineStyle object, which is described here.
• commonAxisSettings.constantLineStyle - specifies the appearance of all constant lines in the UI component.

The value of this property should be specified in the same format as the values on the value axis. The argument axis is on the pane border if the customPosition's value is outside the value axis range.

A grid is a set of mutually-crossing vertical and horizontal lines that stretch throughout the entire chart. Visually, grid lines can be considered extensions of major ticks. The grid improves the readability of chart data.

The commonAxisSettings.grid object specifies common settings for all grid lines in the chart. To configure only those grid lines that descend from a particular axis, use the following objects.

• argumentAxis.grid
• valueAxis.grid

Axis-specific settings override common settings.

See Also

• commonAxisSettings.minorGrid - configures the minor grid built on minor ticks.

• workWeek

This property accepts one of the following values.

• none
  Axis labels do not respond to pointing to them.
• allArgumentPoints
  When a user points to a label on the argument axis, series points of the corresponding argument become highlighted.

See Also

• commonSeriesSettings.point.hoverStyle - specifies the appearance of series points in the hover state. Applies to all series points.
• series.point.hoverStyle - the same, but applies to the points of a particular series.

When an axis is inverted (that is, when this property is set to true), its maximum and minimum values swap their places. As a result, axis values ascend in the opposite direction. Along with the axis, series also become inverted.

See Also

• rotated - rotates the chart.

Axis labels display the values of major axis ticks.

See Also

• commonAxisSettings.label - configures the labels of all axes in the UI component.

Setting this property prevents generating an infinite number of small axis values. Set it to an integer value that designates a power of logarithmBase. The following code sample shows how different linearThreshold values affect the linear range when the logarithmBase is 10:

linearThreshold: -1 // [-0.1; 0.1]
linearThreshold: -2 // [-0.01; 0.01]
linearThreshold: -3 // [-0.001; 0.001]

By default, ticks on a logarithmic axis are generated on a base of 10, i.e., 0.1, 1, 10, 100, 1000 etc. But you can specify the needed base using the logarithmBase property. For example, if you set this property to 5, the following ticks will be generated: 0.5, 5, 25, 125, 625, etc.

By default, the axes extend slightly beyond their extrema generating an empty space between the axes and the minimum/maximum series points. It prevents cutting off parts of those points. To control this empty space, use the minValueMargin and maxValueMargin properties. These properties are used in the following formulas for the actual start and end axis values.

startAxisValue = minDataValue - (maxDataValue - minDataValue) * minValueMargin
endAxisValue = maxDataValue + (maxDataValue - minDataValue) * maxValueMargin

For example, consider that minDataValue is 1960 and maxDataValue is 2010. If you set the minValueMargin and maxValueMargin properties to 0.1, the axis will start in 1955 and end in 2015.

startAxisValue = 1960 - (2010 - 1960) * 0.1 = 1960 - 50 * 0.1 = 1960 - 5 = 1955
endAxisValue = 2010 + (2010 - 1960) * 0.1 = 2010 + 50 * 0.1 = 2010 + 5 = 2015

In addition to the major grid built on major ticks, the Chart UI component provides the minor grid built on minor ticks.

The commonAxisSettings.minorGrid object specifies common settings for all minor grid lines in the chart. To configure only those grid lines that descend from a particular axis, use the following objects.

• argumentAxis.minorGrid
• valueAxis.minorGrid

Axis-specific settings override common settings.

Along with major ticks, the Chart UI component supports minor ticks. They divide an axis segment limited by two neighboring major ticks.

The commonAxisSettings.minorTick object specifies common settings for all minor ticks in the chart. To configure only those minor ticks that belong to a particular axis, use the following objects.

• argumentAxis.minorTick
• valueAxis.minorTick

Axis-specific settings override common settings.

See Also

• argumentAxis.minorTickInterval - specifies the minor tick interval of the argument axis.
• valueAxis.minorTickInterval - specifies the minor tick interval of the value axis.

See Also

• argumentAxis.minorTickInterval - specifies the interval between minor ticks. Has a higher priority than the minorTickCount property.

Minor ticks divide the segment between two neighboring major ticks into smaller segments. Minor tick value is calculated automatically, unless the minorTickInterval property is set.

If the axis displays numbers, assign a number to this property. If the axis displays date-time values, assign one of the accepted string values or an object to this property. The object should contain one or several fields described in this section, for example:

$(function() {
    $("#chartContainer").dxChart({
        // ...
        argumentAxis: {
            // ...

This property accepts a value from 0 to 1, where 0 makes the axis line completely transparent, and 1 makes it opaque.

The reserved space will be occupied by the axis line and axis labels.

See Also

• margin - generates space around the UI component.

Depending on the value of the rotated property, position accepts different values.

If the predefined positions do not meet your requirements, use the customPosition property.

A strip is a colored piece of the chart's background that highlights a range of values. Strips allow a viewer to see whether a certain series point falls in or out of a range.

Each object in the strips array configures a single strip. To limit a strip, set its startValue and endValue properties. You may set only one of them, in which case the strip will not have a limit at one end. Note that setting the color property is also necessary for a strip to be displayed.

See Also

• argumentAxis.stripStyle - specifies the appearance of those strips that belong to the argument axis.
• commonAxisSettings.stripStyle - specifies the appearance of all strips in the UI component.

The commonAxisSettings.stripStyle object specifies common settings for all strips in the chart. To configure only those strips that belong to a particular axis, use the following objects.

• argumentAxis.stripStyle
• valueAxis.stripStyle

To configure individual strips, use the following arrays of objects.

• argumentAxis.strips[]
• valueAxis.strips[]

Individual settings override axis-specific settings which, in their turn, override common settings.

Ticks divide an axis into sections that measure off values on this axis.

The commonAxisSettings.tick object specifies common settings for all major ticks in the chart. To configure only those major ticks that belong to a particular axis, use the following objects.

• argumentAxis.tick
• valueAxis.tick

Axis-specific settings override common settings.

See Also

• argumentAxis.tickInterval - specifies the tick interval of the argument axis.
• valueAxis.tickInterval - specifies the tick interval of the value axis.
• commonAxisSettings.minorTick - customizes the appearance of minor ticks.

Major ticks divide an axis into segments, thus improving the viewer's perception of visualized data. Major ticks are generated automatically, unless the tickInterval property is set.

If the axis displays numbers, assign a number to this property. If the axis displays date-time values, assign one of the accepted string values or an object to this property. The object should contain one or several fields described in this section, for example:

$(function() {
    $("#chartContainer").dxChart({
        // ...
        argumentAxis: {
            // ...
            tickInterval: { days: 5 }
        }
    });
});

<dx-chart ... >
    <dxo-argument-axis ... >
        <dxo-tick-interval [days]="5"></dxo-tick-interval>
    </dxo-argument-axis>
</dx-chart>

import { DxChartModule } from "devextreme-angular";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    // ...
}
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        // ...
        DxChartModule
    ],
    // ...
})

    <DxChart ... >
        <DxArgumentAxis>
            <DxTickInterval :days="5" />

        DxArgumentAxis,
        DxTickInterval
    }
}

import React from 'react';

import Chart, {
    ArgumentAxis,
    TickInterval
} from 'devextreme-react/chart';

class App extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <Chart ... >
                <ArgumentAxis>
                    <TickInterval days={5} />
                </ArgumentAxis>

        );
    }
}

export default App;     

When you use an axis of the "logarithmic" type, ticks are generated on a base of powers. For example, assuming that the logarithm base is 10 and the tick interval is 1, ticks are generated at 10^-2, 10^-1, 10⁰, 10¹, 10², 10³, etc. If the tick interval becomes 2, ticks are generated at 10^-1, 10¹, 10³, etc.

See Also

• argumentAxis.tick - configures the appearance of major ticks.
• argumentAxis.minorTickInterval - specifies the interval between minor ticks.

The axis title is a short text displayed alongside the axis. Usually, the axis title shows units of measurement for arguments displayed by the axis. You can put any text in the axis title though.

If you assign an object to the title property, specifying the text field of this object is necessary for the axis title to be displayed. Besides the object, the title property accepts a string, thus providing a shortcut for setting the axis title. Therefore, this:

title: 'Axis Title'

is the same as this:

title: {
    text: 'Axis Title'
}

See Also

• commonAxisSettings.title - specifies the appearance of all axis titles in the UI component.

The argument axis can have one of the following types.

• Continuous
  Displays numeric and date-time arguments. To divide this axis into intervals, use the tickInterval property.
• Discrete
  Displays string arguments called "categories". To sort them, use the categories array.
• Logarithmic
  Displays numeric arguments. Each argument is the logarithmBase value raised to some power. For example, logarithmBase equaling to 10 produces the following arguments: 10^-2, 10^-1, 10⁰, 10¹, 10², etc. The logarithmic axis is useful when you visualize a dataset of rapidly-growing values.

Normally, there is no need to specify this property, because the axis type is determined automatically depending on the type of arguments. However, you may force the use of a specific axis type, for example, to employ the "discrete" axis type with numeric or date-time arguments.

By default, the argument axis extends slightly beyond its extrema. It prevents cutting off parts of the minimum and maximum series points. To disable this feature, set the valueMarginsEnabled property to false.

See Also

• argumentAxis.minValueMargin - sets a custom margin for minimum series points.
• argumentAxis.maxValueMargin - sets a custom margin for maximum series points.

This property accepts one of the following:

• A two-item array

  Specifies the range's start and end. The array can contain a pair of numeric, string, or date-time values, depending on the axis's argumentType. You can also set one of the array values to null to specify an open-ended range.

  visualRange: [50, 70]
  // Open-ended range
  visualRange: [null, 70]

• An object with the startValue and endValue fields

  An alternative to the two-item array.

  visualRange: {
      startValue: 50,
      endValue: 70
  }
  // Open-ended range
  visualRange: {
      startValue: null,
      endValue: 70
  }

• An object with the length and a startValue or endValue field

  Specifies the range using a start or end value and length.

  visualRange: {
      startValue: 50,
      length: 20
  }
  // ===== or =====
  visualRange: {
      endValue: 70,
      length: 20
  }

• An object with the length field

  Sets the range of the specified length using the last axis value as the end value.

  visualRange: {
      length: 20
  }

• onZoomStart | onZoomEnd
• Axis.visualRange()

The following modes are available:

• "shift"
  The visual range moves to the axis's end. The range's length does not change.

• "reset"
  The visual range becomes equal to the whole range.

• "keep"
  The visual range does not change.

• "auto"
  The applied mode changes depending on the visual range's position on the axis:

  • at the start or middle, then "keep";
  • if set to view the whole range, then "reset" (the visual range remains equal to the whole range).

• Axis.visualRange()

This property accepts one of the following:

• A two-item array

  Specifies the range's start and end. The array can contain a pair of numeric, string, or date-time values, depending on the axis's argumentType. You can also set one of the array values to null to specify an open-ended range.

  wholeRange: [50, 70]
  // Open-ended range
  wholeRange: [null, 70]

• An object with the startValue and endValue fields

  An alternative to the two-item array.

  wholeRange: {
      startValue: 50,
      endValue: 70
  }
  // Open-ended range
  wholeRange: {
      startValue: null,
      endValue: 70
  }

• An object with the length and a startValue or endValue field

  Specifies the range using a start or end value and length.

  }
  // ===== or =====
  wholeRange: {
      endValue: 70,
      length: 20
  }

• An object with the length field

  Sets the range of the specified length using the last axis value as the end value.
