TrackerFormatString question

seveland12 wrote at 2012-06-04 19:11:

In the documentation page

http://oxyplot.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Custom%20trackers&referringTitle=Documentation

it states that you can define what the tracker displays by modifying the TrackerFormatString property of the series. What format is this property expecting? In particular, if I want my tracker to show the following:

X Axis Title: 0.###

Y Axis Title: 0.###

(where 0.### is meant to be the appropriate value to 3 decimal places), what do I have to set TrackerFormatString to? I'm using LineSeries and ScatterSeries, if that makes a difference.

Thanks,

Steve

Sorry the wiki documentation is not finished. 

The tracker format string has some variations for different series (should be documented... and maybe improved?), but it should at least support the following arguments

{0} the title of the series
{1} the title of the x-axis
{2} the x-value
{3} the title of the y-axis
{4} the y-value

For ScatterSeries you also have

{5} the title of the value-axis
{6} the value of the scatter point

This means that in your case you should be able to use

X Axis Title: {2:0.###}
Y Axis Title: {4:0.###}

The format string can also contain names of properties of the items (requires use of the ItemsSource property):

{X:0.###}, {Y:0.###}, {Value:0.###}

where X, Y and Value are properties of your items.

    TrackerFormatString = "{0} " + Environment.NewLine + "{1}: {2} " + Environment.NewLine + "{3}: {4} ",
