Example

This example demonstrates how to create a histogram chart with a given number of bins.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    // Load data to a chart.
    chartControl1.DataSource = LoadDataTableFromXml("..\\..\\Data\\CityWeather.xml", "CityWeather");
    Series series = new Series();
    series.ArgumentDataMember = "Temperature";
    SideBySideBarSeriesView view = series.View as SideBySideBarSeriesView;
    view.Border.Visibility = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.True;
    view.BarWidth = 1;
    chartControl1.Series.Add(series);
    // Configure histogram options.
    XYDiagram diagram = chartControl1.Diagram as XYDiagram;
    NumericScaleOptions scaleOptions = diagram.AxisX.NumericScaleOptions;
    scaleOptions.AggregateFunction = AggregateFunction.Histogram;
    scaleOptions.ScaleMode = ScaleMode.Interval;
    scaleOptions.IntervalOptions.DivisionMode = IntervalDivisionMode.Count;
    scaleOptions.IntervalOptions.Count = 5;
    scaleOptions.IntervalOptions.GridLayoutMode = GridLayoutMode.GridAndLabelShifted;
    diagram.AxisX.Label.TextPattern = "{A:F0}°C";
    diagram.AxisX.GridLines.Visible = true;    
}
static DataTable LoadDataTableFromXml(string fileName, string tableName) {
    DataSet xmlDataSet = new DataSet();
    xmlDataSet.ReadXml(fileName);
    return xmlDataSet.Tables[tableName];
}

The following API members configure the histogram options:
