J,

The other alternative is to change the values. Looks like you are
talking about a duration.  i.e. translate the date and time into a
duration in seconds, minutes or Hours (decimal) and plot that instead.

HI All.

I am a but stumped on something here.

 

I have a query they calculates durations from a database, then plots
them on TeeChart.

The problem I have is, that on many occasions, the durations add up to
over 24hrs, so when I plot them, the data is not quite as expected.

What happens is, if say a duration is 38hrs, the left hand axis shows
31/12/1899 14:xx:xx   xx being a value.

Cleary this is UGLY and is of very little use to the user.

Idealy, I would like to just plot it as say 38:xx:xx or even   1 day
14:xx:xx 

 

Has anyone else come across this before? How did you handle it?

 

Thanks, Jeremy
