I was using a template of a chart and wanted my Y-axis to be visible. So far, I only had the lines where numbers were given (e.g. they started at 10 instead of 0). This template had been created a while back by a colleague and I'm still a noob.
In that particular chart, there are pre generated curves that will not change. The scatter data is dynamic and changes whenever we modify the search settings.
Trying with adding Minimum="0" in the LinearAxis for Y in the code below:
<toolkit:Chart.Axes>
<toolkit:LinearAxis
Orientation="X"
Title="{Binding SOMETHING, Source SOMETHING}"
Minimum="0"
Maximum="120"
Interval="10"
ShowGridLines="False"/>
<toolkit:LinearAxis
Orientation="Y"
Title="{Binding SOMETHING, Source SOMETHING}"
Minimum="0"
ShowGridLines="True"/>
</toolkit:Chart.Axes>
Results: I got my Y-axis, however the curves were squeezed. Their upper limits were still the same, but their lower limits were increased. They were, obviously, no longer accurate.
I tried a few things, then found something rather simple (isn't it always the case?). The one creating the template had remove a border from the initial template (when you choose to edit a copy). The border is mostly there to give a border for the area within the axis (a border to show a border, who would have guessed...).
It goes like this:
Template
> Border
> Grid
> Grid
> Border
> Chart Area
> Grid
> Border
That last border is the one that does the trick!
Add a colour to its BorderBrush and put some of the BorderThickness to 0 depending on what result you want. I wanted my X and Y axis, so I used 1, 0, 0, 1, like this:
<Border BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1,0,0,1"/>
