ScrollingRange Class
Contains the settings that define the range through which it’s possible to scroll an axis.
Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v24.2.dll
NuGet Package: DevExpress.Charts
#Declaration
public class ScrollingRange :
ChartElement
#Remarks
An instance of the ScrollingRange class can be obtained via the AxisRange.ScrollingRange
property.
When scrolling is enabled for an axis (the XYDiagram2D.EnableAxisXScrolling or XYDiagram2D.EnableAxisYScrolling property is set to true), you have the capability to specify the range of an axis through which it can be scrolled. So, apart from the capability to specify an axis’ visible range (via the AxisBase.VisualRange property), the main settings exposed via the properties of the ScrollingRange class allow you to specify the axis’ scrollable range.
By default, the scrollable range is automatically calculated, based upon a chart’s data. However, if the ScrollingRange.Auto
property is set to false, you can explicitly define the minimum and maximum axis values to which it’s possible to scroll an axis. You can specify these values either in measurement units of an axis appropriate for its actual scale type (via the ScrollingRange.MinValue
and ScrollingRange.MaxValue
properties), or in internal floating representations of axis units with no regard to the scale type of an axis (via the ScrollingRange.MinValueInternal
and ScrollingRange.MaxValueInternal
properties).
For more information, refer to Visual Ranges and Whole Ranges and Zooming and Scrolling (2D XY-Charts).
#Example
This example demonstrates how to use the AxisBase.VisualRange property to define the visible range of an axis, and the AxisBase.WholeRange property to define its whole range.
