This seems like a simple fix, but I've been stuck with this "tick" for quite some time now. I can't seem to get my tick/grid lines to skip according to my x-axis labels with 01LabelSkipCount. The documentation points us to the functions IgnoreTickSkip and IgnoreGridSkip to fix this. It says...

quote:

When O1-axis label skipping is defined with the O1LabelAutoSkip, O1LabelSkipBegin, and O1LabelSkipCount properties, this property enables or disables the O1-Axis tick marks (if present) to follow label skipping.

and...

quote:

false adjusts O1-axis tick marks to follow label skipping set by O1LabelAutoSkip, O1LabelSkipBegin, and O1LabelSkipCount. This value is the default

These functions don't appear to adjust anything, no matter how I build the graph file. I'm not sure if this feature is now invalid in current versions, but hopefully one of you can spot an error I'm making or know a workaround... Below is a quick and simple build using graph assistant with the functions in interest sectioned off.

I would open a case with I.B. Tech Support. I've fidgeted with GRAPH code for days trying to make something simple work.

Thanks for the suggestion Francis, I will do just that!

Hi All,

I'm adding the resolution from zshanks' case to this topic so that it's there for future reference.

Make sure that Gridlines are removed and that setIgnoreGridSkip is set to true.

setPlaceSkip(getO1Label(), 0);
setO1MajorGridDisplay(false);
setO1MajorTickDisplay(true);
setO1LabelSkipBegin(0);
setO1LabelSkipCount(1);
setO1LabelAutoSkip(2);
setIgnoreTickSkip(false);
setIgnoreGridSkip(true);

Cheers!

Kathryn

Thank you Kathryn. You beat me to it!

I'd just like to add, as of version 7.7.03 there's currently a bug with skipping gridlines. Ticks will skip as long as you follow the specifications Kathryn mentioned. Set your grid display to false and IgnoreGridSkip to true.
