Numeric axis in EJ2 TypeScript 3D Chart control

10 Jan 202424 minutes to read

The numeric axis can be used to represent the numeric values of data in 3D chart. By default, the valueType of an axis is Double.

import {Chart3D, Category3D, Legend3D, ColumnSeries3D, Tooltip3D, Highlight3D } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
Chart3D.Inject(ColumnSeries3D, Category3D, Legend3D, Tooltip3D, Highlight3D);

let chartData: any[] = [{ x: 1, y: 7 }, { x: 2, y: 1 }, { x: 3, y: 1 }, { x: 4, y: 14 }, { x: 5, y: 1 }, { x: 6, y: 10 },
    { x: 7, y: 8 }, { x: 8, y: 6 }, { x: 9, y: 10 }, { x: 10, y: 10 }, { x: 11, y: 16 }, { x: 12, y: 6 },
    { x: 13, y: 14 }, { x: 14, y: 7 }, { x: 15, y: 5 }, { x: 16, y: 2 }, { x: 17, y: 14 }, { x: 18, y: 7 },
    { x: 19, y: 7 }, { x: 20, y: 10 }];
    
let chart: Chart3D = new Chart3D({
    primaryXAxis: {
        valueType: 'Double',
    },
    series: [
        {
            type: 'Column', xName: 'x', yName: 'y', columnSpacing: 0.1,
            dataSource: chartData
        }
    ],
    wallColor: 'transparent',
    enableRotation: true,
    rotation: 7,
    tilt: 10,
    depth: 100
}, '#element');

Range

The range of an axis will be calculated automatically based on the provided data, and it can also be customized by using the minimum, maximum and interval properties of the axis.

import {Chart3D, Category3D, Legend3D, ColumnSeries3D, Tooltip3D, Highlight3D } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
Chart3D.Inject(ColumnSeries3D, Category3D, Legend3D, Tooltip3D, Highlight3D);
let chartData: any[] = [{ x: 1, y: 7 }, { x: 2, y: 1 }, { x: 3, y: 1 }, { x: 4, y: 14 }, { x: 5, y: 1 }, { x: 6, y: 10 },
    { x: 7, y: 8 }, { x: 8, y: 6 }, { x: 9, y: 10 }, { x: 10, y: 10 }, { x: 11, y: 16 }, { x: 12, y: 6 },
    { x: 13, y: 14 }, { x: 14, y: 7 }, { x: 15, y: 5 }, { x: 16, y: 2 }, { x: 17, y: 14 }, { x: 18, y: 7 },
    { x: 19, y: 7 }, { x: 20, y: 10 }];
let chart: Chart3D = new Chart3D({
    primaryXAxis: {
        valueType: 'Double',
        minimum: 1,
        maximum: 20,
        interval: 5
    },
    series: [
        {
            type: 'Column', xName: 'x', yName: 'y', columnSpacing: 0.1,
            dataSource: chartData
        }
    ],
    wallColor: 'transparent',
    enableRotation: true,
    rotation: 7,
    tilt: 10,
    depth: 100
}, '#element');

Range padding

Padding can be applied to the minimum and maximum extremes of an axis range by using the rangePadding property. Numeric axis supports the following types of padding.

  • None
  • Round
  • Additional
  • Normal
  • Auto

Numeric - None

When the rangePadding is set to None, minimum and maximum of the axis is based on the data.

import {Chart3D, Category3D, Legend3D, ColumnSeries3D, Tooltip3D, Highlight3D } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
Chart3D.Inject(ColumnSeries3D, Category3D, Legend3D, Tooltip3D, Highlight3D);
let chartData: any[] = [{ x: 1, y: 7 }, { x: 2, y: 1 }, { x: 3, y: 1 }, { x: 4, y: 14 }, { x: 5, y: 1 }, { x: 6, y: 10 },
    { x: 7, y: 8 }, { x: 8, y: 6 }, { x: 9, y: 10 }, { x: 10, y: 10 }, { x: 11, y: 16 }, { x: 12, y: 6 },
    { x: 13, y: 14 }, { x: 14, y: 7 }, { x: 15, y: 5 }, { x: 16, y: 2 }, { x: 17, y: 14 }, { x: 18, y: 7 },
    { x: 19, y: 7 }, { x: 20, y: 10 }];
let chart: Chart3D = new Chart3D({
    primaryXAxis: {
        valueType: 'Double'
    },
    primaryYAxis: {
        //RangePadding as none in Y Axis
        rangePadding: 'None'
    },
    series: [
        {
            type: 'Column', xName: 'x', yName: 'y', columnSpacing: 0.1,
            dataSource: chartData
        }
    ],
    wallColor: 'transparent',
    enableRotation: true,
    rotation: 7,
    tilt: 10,
    depth: 100
}, '#element');

Numeric - Round

When the rangePadding is set to Round, minimum and maximum will be rounded to the nearest possible value, which is divisible by interval. For example, when the minimum is 3.5 and the interval is 1, then the minimum will be rounded to 3.

import {Chart3D, Category3D, Legend3D, ColumnSeries3D, Tooltip3D, Highlight3D } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
Chart3D.Inject(ColumnSeries3D, Category3D, Legend3D, Tooltip3D, Highlight3D);
let chartData: any[] = [{ x: 1, y: 7 }, { x: 2, y: 1 }, { x: 3, y: 1 }, { x: 4, y: 14 }, { x: 5, y: 1 }, { x: 6, y: 10 },
    { x: 7, y: 8 }, { x: 8, y: 6 }, { x: 9, y: 10 }, { x: 10, y: 10 }, { x: 11, y: 16 }, { x: 12, y: 6 },

let chart: Chart3D = new Chart3D({
    primaryXAxis: {
        valueType: 'Double'
    },
    primaryYAxis: {
        rangePadding: 'Round'
    },
    series: [
        {
            type: 'Column', xName: 'x', yName: 'y', columnSpacing: 0.1,
            dataSource: chartData
        }
    ],
    wallColor: 'transparent',
    enableRotation: true,
    rotation: 7,

    },
    series: [
        {
            type: 'Column', xName: 'x', yName: 'y', columnSpacing: 0.1,
            dataSource: chartData
        }
    ],
    wallColor: 'transparent',

    },
    primaryYAxis: {
        labelFormat: 'c'
    },
    series: [
        {
            type: 'Column', xName: 'x', yName: 'y', columnSpacing: 0.1,
            dataSource: chartData
        }
    ],
    wallColor: 'transparent',
    enableRotation: true,

Grouping separator

To separate the y-axis labels to groups of thousands, set the useGroupingSeparator property to true in the 3D chart.

import {Chart3D, Category3D, Legend3D, ColumnSeries3D, Tooltip3D, Highlight3D } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
Chart3D.Inject(ColumnSeries3D, Category3D, Legend3D, Tooltip3D, Highlight3D);

let chartData: any[] = [
    { x: 10, y: 7000 }, { x: 20, y: 1000 }, { x: 30, y: 12000 }, { x: 40, y: 14000 }, { x: 50, y: 11000 }, { x: 60, y: 5000 },
