Core Plot graph bottom axis not visible - ios

I've got a core-plot line graph which is displaying as follows (background view coloured red for clarity):
I have 0 padding at the bottom, and I have an x-axis configured, with labels. The graph is squeezed right down against the bottom of the view though. If I increase the bottom padding I get a grey bar at the bottom with the same result.
What do I need to change in order to move the graph up from the bottom of the view and display the axis?
The code is quite lengthy, but here's some excerpts:
self->graph = [[CPTXYGraph alloc] initWithFrame:hostView.bounds];
hostView.hostedGraph = graph;
self->graph.paddingLeft = 0.0f;
self->graph.paddingTop = 10.0f;
self->graph.paddingRight = 0.0f;
self->graph.paddingBottom = 0.0f;
...
[plotSpace scaleToFitPlots:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:p1, p2, p3, nil]];
CPTMutablePlotRange *xRange = [plotSpace.xRange mutableCopy];
[xRange expandRangeByFactor:CPTDecimalFromCGFloat(1.1f)];
plotSpace.xRange = xRange;
CPTMutablePlotRange *yRange = [CPTPlotRange plotRangeWithLocation:CPTDecimalFromFloat(0.0f) length:CPTDecimalFromFloat(500.0f)];
plotSpace.yRange = yRange;
...
CPTXYAxisSet *axisSet = (CPTXYAxisSet *) self->graph.axisSet;
CPTAxis *x = axisSet.xAxis;
x.axisLineStyle = axisLineStyle;
x.labelingPolicy = CPTAxisLabelingPolicyNone;
x.majorTickLineStyle = axisLineStyle;
x.majorTickLength = 4.0f;
x.tickDirection = CPTSignNegative;
...
x.axisLabels = xLabels;
x.majorTickLocations = xLocations;

Try adding bottom padding to graph.plotAreaFrame.

Core Plot Graphs : X axis Label Truncation Issue

As shown in the image, X-axis Labels are being truncated.
I am trying with this

but still I am not able to succeed. Please let me know if any method to avoid this truncation.

You need to do some combination of the following things. Which one(s) you choose depends on the appearance you want to achieve.
Increase the length of the xRange further to move the last data value in from the right edge.
Increase the right padding on the plot area frame to move the edge of the plot area further from the edge of the graph where the text is being clipped.
At xAxis, you can set label alignment to left.

core plot: how to add four axis on left,right,top and bottom side

default there is only two axis on left and bottom, I want to add another tow axis on right and bottom to show the same tick and label.
Thanks in advance.
You can do that with constraints when making your axis,
CPTXYAxis *x = [self _makeDefaultAxis];
x.coordinate = CPTCoordinateX;
x.axisConstraints = [CPTConstraints constraintWithLowerOffset:0.0];
x.tickDirection = CPTSignPositive;
// ...
CPTXYAxis *y = [self _makeDefaultAxis];
y.coordinate = CPTCoordinateY;
y.axisConstraints = [CPTConstraints constraintWithLowerOffset:0.0];
y.tickDirection = CPTSignPositive;
// ...
CPTXYAxis *y2 = [self _makeDefaultAxis];
y2.coordinate = CPTCoordinateY;
y2.axisConstraints = [CPTConstraints constraintWithUpperOffset:0.0];
y2.tickDirection = CPTSignNegative;
// ...
CPTXYAxis *x2 = [self _makeDefaultAxis];
x2.coordinate = CPTCoordinateX;
x2.axisConstraints = [CPTConstraints constraintWithUpperOffset:0.0];
x2.tickDirection = CPTSignNegative;
Which gives something like,
So also show the labels you need to adjust the padding etc.

iOS Core plot - align y axis labels

I want to align the y axis labels of my scatter plot in Core Plot. Currently, the labels are like this:
16
12
8
4
How can I change they alignment to right :
16
12
_8
_4
I tried the following:
y.labelAlignment = CPTAlignmentRight;
It didn't work. How can I do this alignment?
Edit-
Here is my code:
CPTAxis *y = axisSet.yAxis;
y.title = #"Y Label";
y.titleTextStyle = axisTitleStyle;
y.titleOffset = -40.0f;
y.axisLineStyle = axisLineStyle;
y.labelingPolicy = CPTAxisLabelingPolicyNone;
y.labelTextStyle = axisTextStyle;
y.labelOffset = 16.0f;
y.majorTickLineStyle = axisLineStyle;
y.majorTickLength = 4.0f;
y.minorTickLength = 2.0f;
y.tickDirection = CPTSignPositive;
y.labelAlignment = CPTAlignmentRight;
You can specify the label direction independently from the tick direction now. To have the tick marks extend to the right of the axis while lining up the labels on the left side, use the following settings:
y.tickDirection = CPTSignPositive;
y.tickLabelDirection = CPTSignNegative;
y.labelOffset = 5.0;

Core Plot: Additional axis not shown

I have added an additional x axis to my plot space in order to show zero values:
CPTMutableLineStyle *boldLineStyle = [xAxis.axisLineStyle mutableCopy];
boldLineStyle.lineWidth = 1;
boldLineStyle.lineColor = [CPTColor darkGrayColor];
boldLineStyle.lineCap = kCGLineCapRound;
CPTXYAxis *xZeroAxis = [[CPTXYAxis alloc] init];
xZeroAxis.coordinate = CPTCoordinateX;
xZeroAxis.plotSpace = plotSpace;
xZeroAxis.axisLineStyle = boldLineStyle;
Interestingly, the labels on this axis are shown, but not the axis itself:
xZeroAxis.axisLabels = [NSSet setWithArray:naLabels];
xZeroAxis.axisConstraints = [CPTConstraints constraintWithLowerOffset:0.0];
xyAxisSet.axes = #[xAxis, xLabelAxis, yAxis, xZeroAxis];
How would I need to change my code to show the x axis?
Thank you!
x.axisLineStyle is set as follows:
CPTMutableLineStyle *axisLineStyle = [CPTMutableLineStyle lineStyle];
axisLineStyle.lineWidth = 1.0;
axisLineStyle.lineCap = kCGLineCapRound;
axisLineStyle.lineColor = [CPTColor darkGrayColor];
CPTXYAxisSet *axisSet = (CPTXYAxisSet *)graph.axisSet;
CPPTXYAxis *x = axisSet.xAxis;
x.axisLineStyle = axisLineStyle;
This seems to be a bug in the current Core Plot release. The issue has been reported here: Core Plot Issue 514

Core-Plot iOS - Adding multiple charts to a screen only every second chart displays

I would think the issue was my own fault if only the 1st chart displayed but because every second chart displays it doesn't make any sense to me..
My only guess is it is some sort of timing issue but I debugged it and delayed the creation of each chart and it made no difference..
I even removed the 3rd, 5th charts to see if the others now rendered but the same 3 charts that did not display previously were still not visible which really threw me off.. (ie. only the 1st chart displayed out of the 4 enabled!)
Any help on this much appreciated...
I may just use the code from the Apple Developer Library that renders the accelerometer data as it is very lightweight to support 6 charts on a screen at one time without issue...
Core-Plot just doesn't seem up to the task I guess...
You didn't say which graphs aren't showing up, but since it's always the same ones, I suspect there's an issue with the view hierarchy. Try changing
`[chartVC1.view setFrame:self.Panel1.frame];`
to
`[chartVC1.view setFrame:self.Panel1.bounds];`
for each graph.
