PieSeriesView Class

Represents a series view of the Pie type.

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v20.2.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Charts, DevExpress.WindowsDesktop.Charts

Declaration

C#
VB.NET

public class PieSeriesView :
    PieSeriesViewBase,
    ISimpleDiagram2DSeriesView

Public Class PieSeriesView
    Inherits PieSeriesViewBase
    Implements ISimpleDiagram2DSeriesView

Remarks

The PieSeriesView class provides the functionality of a series view of the pie type within a chart control.

In addition to the common view settings inherited from the base SeriesViewBase class, the PieSeriesView class declares the pie type specific settings which allow you to define the view’s border settings (PieSeriesView.Border), background fill style (PieSeriesView.FillStyle), the ratio of the pie’s height and width (PieSeriesView.HeightToWidthRatio) and the rotation angle of the pie (PieSeriesView.Rotation).

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 Pie Chart topic.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to create a ChartControl with a series of the PieSeriesView type, and add this chart to a form at runtime.

Note that this series view type is associated with the SimpleDiagram type, and you should cast your diagram object to this type, in order to access its specific options.
