PieExplodeMode Enum

Lists the values used to specify the conditions to meet for a series to be represented as a spread apart pie slice(s).

Namespace : DevExpress.XtraCharts

Assembly : DevExpress.XtraCharts.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Charts

Declaration

csharp
[ResourceFinder(typeof(XtraChartsResFinder), "PropertyNamesRes")]
public enum PieExplodeMode
vb
<ResourceFinder(GetType(XtraChartsResFinder), "PropertyNamesRes")>
Public Enum PieExplodeMode

Members

NameDescription
None

No pie slices are exploded.

| | All |

All pie slices are exploded.

| | MinValue |

A pie slice for the series point with the minimum value (represented as the first item in a series point’s SeriesPoint.Values collection) is exploded. If there are several pie slices with the same minimum value, all of them are exploded.

| | MaxValue |

A pie slice for the series point with the maximum value (represented as the first item in a series point’s SeriesPoint.Values collection) is exploded. If there are several pie slices with the same maximum value, all of them are exploded.

| | UsePoints |

Pie slices to be exploded are contained in the collection of series points returned by the PieSeriesViewBase.ExplodedPoints property.

| | UseFilters |

Pie slices to be exploded are specified via the collection of filters returned by the PieSeriesViewBase.ExplodedPointsFilters property.

| | Others |

A pie slice showing the Others category is exploded. Note that this category is displayed if the TopNOptions.Enabled and the TopNOptions.ShowOthers properties are set to true.

|

The following properties accept/return PieExplodeMode values:

WinForms ControlsPieSeriesViewBaseModel.ExplodeMode

Remarks

The values listed by the PieExplodeMode enumeration are used to set the PieSeriesViewBase.ExplodeMode property.

Example

The following example shows how to create a Pie chart at runtime.

View Example

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.
