StackedBarSeriesView Class

Represents a series view of the Stacked Bar type.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v20.1.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Charts, DevExpress.WindowsDesktop.Charts

Declaration

public class StackedBarSeriesView :
    BarSeriesView,
    IStackedView

Remarks

The StackedBarSeriesView class provides the functionality of a series view of the stacked bar type within a chart control. At the same time, the StackedBarSeriesView class serves as a base for the FullStackedBarSeriesView class.

The StackedBarSeriesView class inherits properties and methods from the base BarSeriesView class which define the common settings of bar series views.

Note that a particular view type can be defined for a series via its SeriesBase.View property.

For more information on series views of the stacked bar type please see the Stacked Bar Chart topic.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to create a ChartControl with two series of the StackedBarSeriesView type, 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 stackedBarChart = new ChartControl();

    // Create two stacked bar series.
    Series series1 = new Series("Series 1", ViewType.StackedBar);
    Series series2 = new Series("Series 2", ViewType.StackedBar);

    // Add points to them
    series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("A", 10));
    series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("B", 12));
    series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("C", 14));
    series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("D", 17));

    series2.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("A", 15));
    series2.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("B", 18));
    series2.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("C", 25));
    series2.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("D", 33));

    // Add both series to the chart.
    stackedBarChart.Series.AddRange(new Series[] { series1, series2 });

    // Access the view-type-specific options of the series.
    ((StackedBarSeriesView)series1.View).BarWidth = 0.8;

    // Access the type-specific options of the diagram.
    ((XYDiagram)stackedBarChart.Diagram).EnableAxisXZooming = true;

    // Hide the legend (if necessary).
    stackedBarChart.Legend.Visible = false;

    // Add a title to the chart (if necessary).
    stackedBarChart.Titles.Add(new ChartTitle());
    stackedBarChart.Titles[0].Text = "A Stacked Bar Chart";

    // Add the chart to the form.
    stackedBarChart.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
    this.Controls.Add(stackedBarChart);
}
