Logarithmic Axis

  • Demo Configurator
  • Axis type:Log
    Step (log base):10

A logarithmic axis is a special numeric axis that transforms the actual values by using a logarithmic function with a particular base. A logarithmic axis is useful for displaying values that cover different orders of magnitude because it lets large values display together with small values in a more condensed scale than the default linear axis. The feature is available since Q3 2014.

You can configure a logarithmic axis in the ASP.NET AJAX Chart by setting the Type property of the Axis to "Log". You can also control the base of the logarithm via the Step property (default value is 10).
