PowerShell Studio 2016 Missing label in Chart Control

[PsCustomObject]

As per subject I started playing around with the chart control and facing an issue displaying all label names, the chart has 2 series which I manually populate without the helper function but while data visualization works fine intervals are not.

Googling for this I've found it's kind of a common "issue" which is solved with the following code

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.ps1)

1. $Chart1.ChartAreas["ChartArea1"].AxisX.Interval = 1

Just it does not work for me or at leat it seems PowerShell studio is simply ignoring the code which I've added to the form_load event.

For sure the issue is what's between the monitor and the chair but I could not figure out what it really is.

I've attached the a demo form I'm using the figure out things and any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi HeloCheck - This might help.

Here is a demo of how to correctly manually build a horizontal bar chart.
There is no issue with the interval. That is residue from many years ago that was likely a bug at the time. The interval is always set to1 by default.
Here are two methods of building horizontal bar series and how we usually label them. Also how they are matched.

The AddsXY wants a left reference and a right ordinal or value:

$series.points.AddXY(100, 1000)

The first number can be a label but you must match series correctly

$series1.points.AddXY(100, 250)
$series2.points.AddXY(100, 350)

Or

$series1.points.AddXY('Step 100', 250)
$series2.points.AddXY('Step 100', 350)

By not doing this you are just skewing the labels and causing the cart to function strangely.

Here is a better view of what is happening.

Most helpful as usual.

Yes I know that's an older bug(?) but it was around last time I had to deal with charts and thought it was still around.

Thanks for your example which clarified the whole thing.
