Public propertyCamera Gets or sets the camera from Ab3d.PowerToys library that is showing the 3D scene.
Public propertyFontFamily Gets or sets the FontFamily of the text.
Public propertyIsAutomaticallySubscribedToCameraChanges When true (by default) the Update method is automatically called on each change of the Camera.
Public propertyIsRenderingOnRightSideOfAxis Gets or sets a Boolean that specifies if Ticks and Labels are rendered on the right side of the axis (when true) or on the left side of the axis (when false). Default value is false.
Public propertyMajorTicksLength Gets or sets a double value that defines the length of major tick lines. Default value is 5. When set to 0, then major tick lines are not shown (but labels are still shown).
Public propertyMajorTicksStep Gets or sets a double value that defines the step (difference) between two major ticks makers and labels (labels are rendered next to major tick markers). When set to zero or negative value, then major ticks and labels are not shown. Default value is 1.
Public propertyMaximumValue Gets or sets a double that defines the maximum value on the graph. When SnapMaximumValueToMajorTicks is set to true, the actually used maximum value can be bigger then this value. Default value is 10.

Methods
 NameDescription
Protected methodCloneInt Returns a new AxisWithLabelsBase that is a clone of this AxisWithLabelsBase.
Public methodGetMajorTickValues Returns an array of double value that represents the major tick values. By default major tick values are calculated based on MinimumValue, MaximumValue and MajorTicksStep properties.
Public methodGetMinorTickValues Returns an array of double value that represents the minor tick values. By default minor tick values are calculated based on MinimumValue, MaximumValue and MinorTicksStep properties.
Public methodGetRelativeValue GetRelativeValue returns a relative value in range from 0 to 1 from the specified absoluteValue (where the value lies between the AxisStartPosition and AxisEndPosition). Value 0 is returned when absoluteValue is set to MinimumValue. Value 1 is returned when absoluteValue is set to the value returned by the GetUsedMaximumValue method. Returned value is negative when absoluteValue is smaller then MinimumValue and bigger then 1 when the absoluteValue is bigger then used maximum value.
Public methodGetUsedMaximumValue Returns the used maximum value. This value can be different from MaximumValue when SnapMaximumValueToMajorTicks is set to true.
Public methodGetValueLabels Returns an array of strings that represents the value labels.
Protected methodGetValuesRange GetValuesRange returns the difference between used maximum value and used minimum value. Note that used maximum value can be different from MaximumValue when SnapMaximumValueToMajorTicks is set to true
Protected methodOnAxisTitleSettingsChanged(DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs) OnAxisTitleSettingsChanged method must be implemented by a derived class. The method is called when the font settings for axis title is changed.
Protected methodStatic memberOnAxisTitleSettingsChanged(DependencyObject, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs) OnAxisTitleSettingsChanged
Protected methodOnCameraChanged OnCameraChanged method is called when the camera is changed. The method can be overriden in a derived class.
Protected methodStatic memberOnCameraPropertyChanged OnCameraPropertyChanged
Protected methodStatic memberOnFontFamilyPropertyChanged OnFontFamilyPropertyChanged
Protected methodOnIsVisibleChanged OnIsVisibleChanged is called when the value of IsActuallyVisible property is changed.
(Overrides ContentVisual3DOnIsVisibleChanged(Boolean))
Protected methodStatic memberOnLinePropertyChanged OnLinePropertyChanged
Protected methodStatic memberOnTicksMultiLinePropertyChanged OnTicksMultiLinePropertyChanged
Protected methodOnTicksPositionsChanged OnTicksPositionsChanged method must be implemented by a derived class. The method is called when the tick positions are changed.
Protected methodStatic memberOnTicksSettingsChanged OnTicksSettingsChanged
Protected methodOnUpdate OnUpdate method must be implemented by a derived class. The method is called when the Update method is called and should update the axis.
Protected methodOnValueLabelsFontSettingsChanged(DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs) OnValueLabelsFontSettingsChanged method must be implemented by a derived class. The method is called when the font settings for value labels is changed.
Protected methodStatic memberOnValueLabelsFontSettingsChanged(DependencyObject, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs) OnValueLabelsFontSettingsChanged
Protected methodOnViewport3DSizeChanged OnViewport3DSizeChanged is called when the size of Viewport3D is changed. The method can be overriden in a derived class.
Public methodSetCustomMajorTickValues SetCustomMajorTickValues method sets custom double values that represents custom major tick values. The tick values should be between MinimumValue and MaximumValue (values outside of this range will not be shown). The values define the text for the shown labels (when custom labels are not used) and also define the positions of the major tick lines and value labels - if the value is in the middle between MinimumValue and MaximumValue, the tick and label will be also shown in the middle between AxisStartPosition and AxisEndPosition. When customMajorTickValues is null, then major thick lines and value labels will not be shown.
Public methodSetCustomMinorTickValues SetCustomMinorTickValues method sets custom double values that represents custom minor tick values. The tick values should be between MinimumValue and MaximumValue (values outside of this range will not be shown). The values define the positions of the minor tick lines. When customMinorTickValues is null, then minor thick lines will not be shown.
Public methodSetCustomValueColors SetCustomValueColors method sets custom colors for value labels. The number of elements in the customValueLabels array should be the same as number of displayed major ticks (to get this number call GetValueLabels method). To stop using custom value color, call this method with null. To set custom value colors, call SetCustomValueColors(Color) method.
Public methodSetCustomValueLabels SetCustomValueLabels method sets custom texts that will be used as value labels. One value label is displayed for one major tick. The number of elements in the customValueLabels array should be the same as number of displayed major ticks (to get this number call GetValueLabels method). To skip a value label set the array element to null or empty string. To set custom value colors, call SetCustomValueColors(Color) method.
Public methodUpdate Update method is called to update this axis.
Protected methodUpdateContentIfNotInitializing Recreates the models if the Visual3D is visible (IsVisible is true) and it is not initializing (between BeginInit and EndInit)
(Overrides BaseVisual3DUpdateContentIfNotInitializing)
Protected methodUpdateTicksMultiLinePositions UpdateTicksMultiLinePositions method sets various 3D positions (majorTickPositions, minorTickPositions, valueLabelPositions) that represent positions of ticks and value labels in 3D space. The values are calculated based on majorTickValues, minorTickValues and valueLabels lists. The method is virtual and can be overriden to provide custom positioning of ticks and value labels.
Protected methodUpdateTickValues UpdateTickValues method sets values of each major and minor tick and writes them into majorTickValues, minorTickValues lists. The method also for each major tick sets the value label text and set that to valueLabels list. The method is virtual and can be overriden to provide custom calculation of ticks and value label texts.
Protected methodStatic memberValidatePositiveNumberPropertyValue Returns true if value is valid double and bigger or equal to 0
Protected methodStatic memberValidateValidDoublePropertyValue Returns true if value is valid double
