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 following table contains the available placeholders:

{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:

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;
