Diagram.Series Property

Provides access to the diagram’s collection of series.

Namespace : DevExpress.Xpf.Charts

Assembly : DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Wpf.Charts

Declaration

csharp
public SeriesCollection Series { get; }
vb
Public ReadOnly Property Series As SeriesCollection

Property Value

TypeDescription
SeriesCollection

A SeriesCollection object that represents the collection of series.

|

Remarks

The Series property provides access to a collection of all series defined explicitly within a diagram (either at design time or run time). The collection is represented by an instance of the SeriesCollection class, and allows individual series (which are instances of the Series class) to be added, deleted and accessed using indexer notation.

Example

This example shows how to create a 2D Side-by-Side Bar chart.

  1. Create a ChartControl and set its ChartControl.Diagram property to a XYDiagram2D object. Note that the ChartControl.Diagram is a content property. You can declare a diagram in XAML directly after a chart control’s declaration without wrapping it in opening and closing ChartControl.Diagram tags.

  2. Specify the Diagram.SeriesItemsSource property to bind a collection of objects used to generate series.

  3. Use the following API members to configure the x-axis options.

  4. Create a legend and customize its settings. For more information about legends, refer to the following topic: Legends
