Silverlight toolkit chart: axes do not always display 0 and maximum value

Question

I am using the chart control provided in the silverlight toolkit.

I have defined 3 axes (code below). Now the series in the chart change at a user's command. Sometimes, the 0 value of the origin and the maximum axis value do not get displayed. They are not necessarily missing at the same time. I am out of idea on why this is happening. The values in the series are within the same range as they are bound on (0, 1000). Is this behaviour normal?

            <chartingToolkit:LinearAxis x:Name="LeftYAxis"
                                        Orientation="Y"
                                        Location="Left"
                                        BorderThickness="0.5"

Answer 1

Unless you specify the Minimum and Maximum values on the Axis the toolkit will automaticaly calculate values for them. If I recall correctly from the last time I looked at teh source code it attempts to center the set values within a central 80% of the chart area, it adjust the Axis Minimum and Maximum values to acheive this.

Since you know that the range is (0, 1000) just add the appropriate Minimum and Maximum properties to the LinearAxis.
