I have 2 modes on my chart. One uses XAxis a NumericAxis and one uses DateTimeCategoryAxis. I can set the visible range when initilizing the control. The code should be the same in both cases except:
NumericAxis gets DoubleRange as VisibleRange
CategoryAxis gets IndexRange as VisibleRange
But if setting start and end value for the axis only the numericAxis displays something. The other one is empty.
I somehow understand that IndexRange is not really suitable to display anything if I set Min and Max Value and I haven’t yet understood how to transfer between DateTime values and the Index values but to start with:
How can I display the CategoryAxis the same as NumericAxis as long as the chart is empty?
Please see pictures.

Hi Uwe,
Thanks for your questions. Concerning the coordinate transformation for CategoryAxis, please take a look at this article from our Knowledgebase. The last section explains the case of CategoryAxis.
As to axis initialization, it is not possible to render a CategoryAxis without having any data on associated with it, since it is index-based. So you should append at least 1 data point, or two if you want a certain VisibleRange as the initial one. There is a special Y value reserved for such cases (also for making gaps), it is double.NaN. Therefor you could append a two data points with double.NaN as Y values and then remove/update them when actual data comes.
Hope this helps!
