Name Description
Argument

The data member contains point arguments.

Value

The data member contains point values.

Series

The data member contains values that identify series and are used as series names when a SeriesTemplateAdapter or SeriesTemplateSummaryAdapter generates series.

Color

The data member contains colors that point colorizers apply to series points.

ToolTipHint

The data member contains additional information that can be displayed in the point tooltip. Use the {HINT} placeholder in the ToolTipPointPattern format string to display the hint information.

Open

The data member contains open values of financial series.

High

The data member contains high values of financial series.

Low

The data member contains low values of financial series.

Close

The data member contains close values of financial series.

Weight

The data member contains weight values of Bubble series.

Value_1

The data member contains first point values of series that require two values per point (for example, Range Bar series).

Value_2

The data member contains second point values of series that require two values per point (for example, Range Bar series).

BoxPlotMin

The data member contains minimum values of Box Plot points.

BoxPlotQuartile_1

The data member contains first quartile values of Box Plot points.

BoxPlotMedian

The data member contains median values of Box Plot points.

BoxPlotQuartile_3

The data member contains third quartile values of Box Plot points.

BoxPlotMax

The data member contains maximum values of Box Plot points.

BoxPlotMean

The data member contains mean values of Box Plot points.

BoxPlotOutliers

The data member contains outlier values of Box Plot points.
