Performance by Distance - X Axis Settings and Zoom to Interval

[cooperme...@gmail.com]

I use GC to analyze performance on the velodrome, so I am working with very small durations and distances. Analyzing data by distance is really useful and I would like to get more detail out of the "Performance by Distance" chart. 

I use the "stack zoom" slider to expand the x axis to maximum detail.

There are 2 features that I cannot seem to adjust:

1. Zoom to interval - either GC selected intervals or user selected intervals do not seem to work for the "performance by distance" chart

2. Is there any way of changing the labels on the x-axis? They are in kilometers and I would like to be able to change this - the best would be 10m or even 100m increments

Thanks very much for any suggestions!

I can’t reproduce this in v3.6

No, but up to 3 decimal digits are added when distance become smaller, so meters can be displayed.

The zoom limit on x-axis depends on ride length: shorter rides can be displayed with greater details than longer ones, eventually you could use split ride to focus on a part.

The alternative could be to create a custom User Chart specific for this use case, see https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/wiki/UG_Special-Topics_Working-with-User-Charts

Thanks very much Ale.

I just upgraded to v3.6 and that solved most of my issues - the functionality I was looking for is not in v3.5. 

I will have a look at custom User Charts.

Cheers

Actually this functionality is in v3.5 - I just missed the option on chart settings, top left corner of the chart window. Switching to distance on the x axis makes a huge difference for analyzing track workouts, especially for sprint type workouts. I just finished comparing my 5x125m standing starts looking at my power and cadence at 40m. Thanks to Golden Cheetah, I can dig deeper.
