Converts the chart control screen point’s coordinates (in pixels) into an XY-Diagram plot area coordinates object.

public DiagramCoordinates PointToDiagram(
Point p
)
Public Function PointToDiagram(
p As Point
) As DiagramCoordinates
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| p | Point |
A point within the Chart Control’s area.
|
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| DiagramCoordinates |
An object that contains information about the point’s argument and value, their scale types, associated axes and pane.

Use the PointToDiagram method to convert a chart control screen point’s coordinates that are indexed from its upper-left corner and measured in pixels to the diagram coordinates in axis measurement units.
To convert a screen coordinate point to a point with chart coordinates, use the ChartControl.PointToClient method.
private void chartControl_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {
DiagramCoordinates coords = ((XYDiagram2D)chartControl.Diagram).PointToDiagram(chartControl.PointToClient(Cursor.Position));
label.Text = string.Format("X:{0}, Y:{1}", coords.NumericalArgument, coords.NumericalValue);
}
Private Sub chartControl_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs)
Dim coords As DiagramCoordinates = CType(chartControl.Diagram,XYDiagram2D).PointToDiagram(chartControl.PointToClient(Cursor.Position))
label.Text = String.Format("X:{0}, Y:{1}", coords.NumericalArgument, coords.NumericalValue)
End Sub
Note
Use the XYDiagram2D.DiagramToPoint method to convert diagram coordinates to chart coordinates with an overload appropriate to your axes’ scale types.
With the Radar and Polar diagram types, use the RadarDiagram.PointToDiagram and RadarDiagram.DiagramToPoint methods.
The following example illustrates use of XYDiagram2D.PointToDiagram method for dragging the constant line with the mouse, and changing the series point values accordingly.
