PointView Enum

Lists the values used to specify how data point information is represented within series labels.

Namespace : DevExpress.XtraCharts

Assembly : DevExpress.XtraCharts.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Charts

Declaration

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

Members

NameDescription
Argument

Specifies that series labels identify series points by their argument values (which can be taken from the SeriesPoint.Argument property).

| | Values |

Specifies that series labels identify data points by their values (which can be taken from the SeriesPoint.Values property).

| | ArgumentAndValues |

Specifies that series labels reflect both arguments and values for the corresponding series points. In this case, the resulting label content is composed of the SeriesPoint.Argument and SeriesPoint.Values property values, based on the specified PointOptions.Pattern.

| | SeriesName |

Specifies that series labels identify series points by the name of their series (which can be taken from the Series.Name property).

| | Undefined |

This means the PointOptions.PointView property value is ignored, and the text of series labels is determined by the PointOptions.Pattern property value.

|

Remarks

The values listed by the PointView enumeration are used to set the PointOptions.PointView 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.
