I have a line chart where I want to plot data along the Y axis that comes
from the result of a query. So far, so good. Just set the Y Series to
row["MyData"]. However I don't care about the X Series - I just want to plot
and have maybe 1,2,3,4, etc along the X axis. I don't have this data as the
result of a query. How can I calculate this for the chart, and can you show
every n'th X value, to stop the X axis being too cluttered?
Thanks
Andy

Hi Andy,
Your best option right now is not to show the X labels at all, you can hide
them in the X Axis -> Labels page. Otherwise you would need to create a
computed column in your Query. Note that labels might be cluttered on the X
Axis, to avoid that, rotate them vertically. The next version of the Chart
(BIRT 2) will fix that problem.
Thanks,
David

That seems to do the trick!
Thanks.
