BarSparklineViewBase Class

The base for Bar and WinLoss sparkline views.

Assembly : DevExpress.Sparkline.v25.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Sparkline.Core

Declaration

C#
VB.NET

csharp

public abstract class BarSparklineViewBase :
    SparklineViewBase

Public MustInherit Class BarSparklineViewBase
    Inherits SparklineViewBase

Remarks

In addition to the API implemented by the base SparklineViewBase class, the BarSparklineViewBase class also introduces the BarSparklineViewBase.BarDistance property, which specifies the distance between two bars in either the BarSparklineView or WinLossSparklineView.

Example

This example demonstrates how to create a sparkline control, fill it with data, choose the way to represent this data, and customize the sparkline appearance.

To do this, you should create a SparklineEdit object and assign the datasource object to its BaseEdit.EditValue property. Then, you need to set the appropriate view instance to the SparklineEdit.Properties.View property and customize view properties to meet your requirements.

Note that in this sample, the AreaSparklineView class is used to display area sparklines. To display other sparklines types, use the BarSparklineView, LineSparklineView or WinLossSparklineView classes instead.
