SliceAndDiceLayoutAlgorithm Class

A class representing the Slice and Dice layout algorithm.

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

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Wpf.TreeMap

Declaration

C#
VB.NET

csharp

public class SliceAndDiceLayoutAlgorithm :
    TreeMapLayoutAlgorithm

Public Class SliceAndDiceLayoutAlgorithm
    Inherits TreeMapLayoutAlgorithm

Remarks

This algorithm calculates the layout using the following principle. For each tree map level the layout direction is selected depending on the width/height ratio (for SliceAndDiceLayoutAlgorithm.LayoutMode = SliceAndDiceLayoutMode.Auto ), and for all children items at a given level, the display area is divided amongst the children, where each child item obtains a slice proportional to its value.

The following image demonstrates the country area tree map with a layout calculated using this algorithm.

Example

To customize the layout algorithm, do the following.

Assign a newly created TreeMapLayoutAlgorithmBase class descendant object to the TreeMapControl.LayoutAlgorithm property.
Optionally, for all predefined layout algorithms, it is possible to specify a layout’s fill direction using the TreeMapLayoutAlgorithm.Direction property.
In addition to the layout direction, for the SliceAndDiceLayoutAlgorithm you can change its mode using the SliceAndDiceLayoutAlgorithm.LayoutMode property.
