JavaScript/jQuery Chart - argumentAxis.tickInterval

Specifies the interval between major ticks.

Type:

Number

Object

String

Default Value: undefined
Accepted Values: 'day' | 'hour' | 'millisecond' | 'minute' | 'month' | 'quarter' | 'second' | 'week' | 'year'

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:

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

            <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.
