Example
The following example demonstrates how to create a ChartControl with a series of the RadarPointSeriesView type, set its general properties, and add this chart to a form at runtime. Before proceeding with this example, first create a Windows Forms Application in Visual Studio, and include all necessary assemblies to the References list of your project.
Then, add the following code to the Form.Load event handler.
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using DevExpress.XtraCharts;
// ...
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
// Create a new chart.
ChartControl RadarPointChart = new ChartControl();
// Add a radar series to it.
Series series1 = new Series("Series 1", ViewType.RadarPoint);
// Populate the series with points.
series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint(0, 90));
series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint(90, 95));
series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint(180, 50));
series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint(270, 55));
series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint(0, 180));
series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint(90, 185));
series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint(180, 270));
series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint(270, 275));
// Add the series to the chart.
RadarPointChart.Series.Add(series1);
// Flip the diagram (if necessary).
((RadarDiagram)RadarPointChart.Diagram).StartAngleInDegrees = 180;
((RadarDiagram)RadarPointChart.Diagram).RotationDirection =
RadarDiagramRotationDirection.Counterclockwise;
// Add a title to the chart and hide the legend.
ChartTitle chartTitle1 = new ChartTitle();
chartTitle1.Text = "Radar Point Chart";
RadarPointChart.Titles.Add(chartTitle1);
RadarPointChart.Legend.Visible = false;
// Add the chart to the form.
RadarPointChart.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
this.Controls.Add(RadarPointChart);
