DoughnutSeriesView Class

Represents a series view of the Doughnut type.

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#
VB.NET

public class DoughnutSeriesView :
    PieSeriesView,
    IDoughnutSeriesView

Public Class DoughnutSeriesView
    Inherits PieSeriesView
    Implements IDoughnutSeriesView

Remarks

The DoughnutSeriesView class provides the functionality of a series view of the Doughnut type within a chart control.

In addition to the common view settings inherited from the base PieSeriesView class, the DoughnutSeriesView class declares the Doughnut type specific settings that allow you to define a percentage value for a hole radius (DoughnutSeriesView.HoleRadiusPercent).

Note that a particular view type can be defined for a series via its SeriesBase.View property.

For more information on series views of the pie type, please see the Doughnut Chart topic.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to create a ChartControl with a series of the DoughnutSeriesView type, set its general properties, and add this chart to a form at runtime. Before proceeding with this example, create a Windows Forms Application in Visual Studio, and add all required assemblies to the References list of your project.

Then, add the following code to the Form.Load event handler.
