CustomDrawSeriesEventArgsBase.SeriesDrawOptions Property
Returns the draw settings of the series that is currently being drawn.
Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v24.1.dll
NuGet Package: DevExpress.Charts
Declaration
Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| DrawOptions | An object of the DrawOptions class descendant, which stores the draw options of the series currently being drawn. |
Remarks
This example demonstrates how to use the ChartControl.CustomDrawSeries event to modify the legend markers of bar series.
Assign a custom legend marker to the e.LegendMarkerImage property. Set the e.DisposeLegendMarkerImage property to true to avoid memory leaks. To customize options used to draw the series, cast e.SeriesDrawOptions to the DrawOptions class descendant that stores draw options of the required series view type.
