Public Enum SortingKey
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
Argument |
Specifies that sorting is performed by the argument values of a series’ data points.
|
| Value_1 |
Specifies that sorting is performed by the first data value within the SeriesPoint.Values array of a series’s data points. For financial data this indicates the Low value.
|
| Value_2 |
Specifies that sorting is performed by the second data value within the SeriesPoint.Values array of a series’s data points. For financial data this indicates the High value.
|
| Value_3 |
Specifies that sorting is performed by the third data value within the SeriesPoint.Values array of a series’s data points. For financial data this indicates the Open value.
|
| Value_4 |
Specifies that sorting is performed by the fourth data value within the SeriesPoint.Values array of a series’s data points. For financial data this indicates the Close value.
|
The values listed by this enumeration can be used to set the SeriesBase.PointsSortingKey property.
The following example shows how to create a Pie chart at runtime.
The Chart Control uses the Simple Diagram to display pies. Cast the ChartControl.Diagram property to the SimpleDiagram type to access diagram settings. The Chart Control determines the diagram type based on the series that is added first. We recommend that you access the diagram to configure its settings after at least one series is added to the chart.
To access pie series view settings, cast the SeriesBase.View property to the PieSeriesView type.
