PieSeriesViewBase.ExplodedPointsFilters Property

Provides access to a collection of SeriesPointFilter objects, which specifies conditions for the points to be plotted as exploded pie slices.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Charts

Declaration

[PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty)]
[XtraChartsLocalizableCategory(XtraChartsCategory.Data)]
public SeriesPointFilterCollection ExplodedPointsFilters { get; }

Property Value

Type Description
SeriesPointFilterCollection

A SeriesPointFilterCollection object, which contains filters for exploded points selection.

Remarks

When the PieSeriesViewBase.ExplodeMode property is set to PieExplodeMode.UseFilters value, you can specify the conditions to customize the selection of points for display as spread apart slices. Use the ExplodedPointsFilters property to access the collection of filters used for this purpose.

Example

The following example shows how to create a Pie chart at runtime.

View Example

Pie Chart

The Chart Control uses the Simple Diagram to display pies. Cast the ChartControl.Diagram property to the SimpleDiagram type to access diagram settings. The Chart Control determines the diagram type based on the series that is added first. We recommend that you access the diagram to configure its settings after at least one series is added to the chart.

To access pie series view settings, cast the SeriesBase.View property to the PieSeriesView type.
