I am utilizing Swift Charts to create a line chart representing inventory values over time, and I am aiming for a design with inset ticks at each month. I would like the beginning, finish, and center ticks to be bigger and embrace a label under the tick.
I’ve been engaged on a fast POC in Swift Charts and have managed to make the axis appear like this:
It is near the design, however I’ve two excellent points:
1. Spacing Between the Backside Axis Grid Line and Worth Labels
I’ve set the vertical spacing to 0, however I discover there’s about 16 factors of spacing between the underside axis grid line and the axis worth label. Setting verticalSpacing to -16 provides me the consequence I need, nevertheless it doesn’t really feel like the appropriate answer.
The place does this additional spacing come from, and the way can I repair it?
2. First and Final X-Axis Ticks with Date Labels
I need to be sure that the primary and final X-axis ticks are main ticks with the corresponding date labels. How can I be certain that these ticks are marked as main and have labels?
