HeatmapHitInfo.Axis Property

Returns the axis that is positioned in the test point.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts.Heatmap

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Charts

Declaration

C#

public HeatmapAxis Axis { get; }

VB.NET

Public ReadOnly Property Axis As HeatmapAxis

Property Value

Type	Description
HeatmapAxis	Contains heatmap axis options.

Remarks

Use the Axis property to access the axis located under the test point if the ChartHitInfo.InAxis property returns true. Note that if the InAxis is false, then the Axis property returns null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Example

The following example shows how to determine what a heatmap element is in a test point, and collect information related to this element.

Call the HeatmapControl.CalcHitInfo method to obtain information about a specific point within the Heatmap Control. This method returns a HeatmapHitInfo object that contains information related to heatmap elements positioned in the test point.
