I am graphing population across time(in days). The days column in the database goes from 0-210. I simply want to have the X-axis be in intervals of 7. day 0, 7, 14, 21 etc acroos x axis.

How is this done? Thanks in advance

try this properties,

setX1MajorGridStepAuto (true);
setX1MajorGripStepAutoValue (7);

Thanks for your suggestion. However I get this error when adding those properties:

Possible Error on:setX1MajorGridStepAutoValue(7.0);

Add this also

setX1MajorGridStep (getX1MajorGridStepAutoValue());

Isn’t the java API a wonderful tool, and quite logical, some times.

By definition you can not set an auto value, unless you first disable the auto assignment in which case it's not auto.

The correct API calls are

setX1MajorGridStepAuto(false);
setX1MajorGripStepAutoValue(7);
setX1MajorGridStep(getX1MajorGridStepAutoValue());

However the logical assignments should be

setX1MajorGridStepAuto(false);
setX1MajorGripStep(7);

Both should work, however if you are displaying a minor grid then you may well have to set them as well.

Play with the order of the calls if they do not work first time.

Thank you both for your help, however I cannot get anything to work. Am I missing somehting else in the style portion of the code. Here is the whole code. I get an error with this. Thanks for the assistance!

You can download the document from that discussion and see which method solves your problem.

I have tried everything to get this to work with no luck. Could someone please paste their code where they have successfully set the x-axis intervals. Thank You.

Ryan, I suspect that your days are not actually multiples of 7.

Because your X axis is your BY then it must contain week number and not
the day number. Remember your ploting series on the X and not values.

You need to do a conversion to week using date functions as below.

(beware WebFocus calls the first full week, week 1 so in the example
that starts on January 5)

SET WEEKFIRST = 7
DEFINE FILE GGSALES
NEW_DATE/YYMD = DATECVT(DATE, 'I8YYMD', 'YYMD');
TRANSDATE/HYYMDS = HDTTM(NEW_DATE, 8, 'HYYMDS');
WEEK_COMPONENT/A2 = HNAME(TRANSDATE, 'WEEK', 'A2');
END
TABLE FILE GGSALES
BY TRANSDATE
BY WEEK
WHERE DATE FROM 19970105 TO 19971231
END

Alternatively divide the number of days by 7 to get a simple week number.
