PaneLayoutDirection Enum

Lists the values that specify panes alignment direction.

Namespace : DevExpress.XtraCharts

Assembly : DevExpress.XtraCharts.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Charts

Declaration

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

Members

NameDescription
Vertical

Panes are aligned in the vertical direction.

| | Horizontal |

Panes are aligned in the horizontal direction.

|

The following properties accept/return PaneLayoutDirection values:

Cross-Platform Class LibraryGridPaneLayout.Direction
WinForms ControlsGridPaneLayoutModel.Direction

Remarks

Values listed by the PaneLayoutDirection enumeration are used to set the GridPaneLayout.Direction property.

For more information, refer to Pane Layout.

Example

This example shows how to plot multiple series in separate panes.

  1. Create a ChartControl object.

  2. Create two Series objects. Populate their Points collection with SeriesPoint objects. Add both series to the ChartControl.Series collection. See the Provide Data document for more information on how to create series and populate them with data.

  3. To add a pane in addition to the diagram’s DefaultPane, create a new XYDiagramPane and add it to the Panes collection. Use the XYDiagramSeriesViewBase.Pane property to assign the pane to a series view.

  4. To add a secondary x-axis, add a SecondaryAxisX object to the diagram’s SecondaryAxesX collection. To add a secondary y-axis, add a SecondaryAxisY object to the diagram’s SecondaryAxesY collection. To assign the axes to the view, use the AxisX and AxisY properties.
