RangeSegmentColorizer.LegendItemPattern Property

Gets or sets the pattern to format the text the legend shows for a color range.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public string LegendItemPattern { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property LegendItemPattern As String

Property Value

Type	Description
String	A string that is the text pattern.

Remarks

The RangeSegmentColorizer.RangeStops collection neighbor values form the start and end values for the colorizer legend items.

The LegendItemPattern can contain regular text (displayed as is) and value placeholders in braces. To format numeric values, you can apply Format Specifiers. Use a colon to separate a placeholder and its format specifier.

The following table contains the available placeholders:

Placeholder	Description
{V1}	Displays the start range value.
{V2}	Displays the end range value.

Example

This example demonstrates how to use the RangeSegmentColorizer to color a line series by its segments.

Follow the steps below to configure the RangeSegmentColorizer object and apply it to a line series view:

• Create a RangeSegmentColorizer instance and assign it to the LineSeriesView.SegmentColorizer property.

• Populate the RangeSegmentColorizer.RangeStops collection.

• Use the RangeSegmentColorizer.Palette property to define a palette.

• The RangeSegmentColorizer.LegendItemPattern property allows you to specify how to format text the legend shows for each color range.

C#

RangeSegmentColorizer colorizer = new RangeSegmentColorizer();
colorizer.RangeStops.AddRange(new double[] { -40, -35, -30, -25, -20, -15, -10, -5, 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 });
colorizer.Palette = new Palette("TemperaturePalette", new PaletteEntry[] { new PaletteEntry(Color.DarkBlue),
                                                                           new PaletteEntry(Color.SteelBlue),
                                                                           new PaletteEntry(Color.LightBlue),
                                                                           new PaletteEntry(Color.Yellow),
                                                                           new PaletteEntry(Color.OrangeRed) });
// Alternatively, you can use PaletteName to specify a palette.
// colorizer.PaletteName = Palettes.Slipstream.DisplayName;
colorizer.ShowInLegend = true;
colorizer.LegendItemPattern = "{V1:F0}°C — {V2:F0}°C";
LineSeriesView lineSeriesView = chartControl.Series[0].View as LineSeriesView;
lineSeriesView.SegmentColorizer = colorizer;

VB.NET

Dim colorizer As RangeSegmentColorizer = New RangeSegmentColorizer
colorizer.RangeStops.AddRange(New Double() {-40, -35, -30, -25, -20, -15, -10, -5, 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30})
colorizer.Palette = New Palette("TemperaturePalette", New PaletteEntry() { New PaletteEntry(Color.DarkBlue), 
                                                                           New PaletteEntry(Color.SteelBlue), 
                                                                           New PaletteEntry(Color.LightBlue), 
                                                                           New PaletteEntry(Color.Yellow), 
                                                                           New PaletteEntry(Color.OrangeRed)})
' Alternatively, you can use PaletteName to specify a palette.

colorizer.ShowInLegend = true
colorizer.LegendItemPattern = "{V1:F0}°C — {V2:F0}°C"
Dim lineSeriesView As LineSeriesView = CType(chartControl.Series(0).View,LineSeriesView)
