StepLine3DSeriesView Class

Represents a series view of the 3D Step Line type.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Charts

#Declaration

public class StepLine3DSeriesView :
    Line3DSeriesView,
    IStepSeriesView

#Remarks

The StepLine3DSeriesView class provides functionality of a series view of the Step Line 3D type within a chart control.

In addition to the common line view settings inherited from the base Line3DSeriesView class, the StepLine3DSeriesView class declares a step line type specific setting, which allows you to control the manner in which step lines are drawn within the view (StepLine3DSeriesView.InvertedStep).

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 3D step line type, please see the Step Line Chart topic.

#Example

The following example demonstrates how to create a ChartControl with a series of the StepLine3DSeriesView 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 StepLineChart3D = new ChartControl();

    // Add a step line series to it.
    Series series1 = new Series("Series 1", ViewType.StepLine3D);

    // Add points to the series.
    series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("A", 12));
    series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("B", 4));
    series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("C", 17));
    series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("D", 7));
    series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("E", 12));
    series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("F", 4));
    series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("G", 17));
    series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("H", 7));

    // Add the series to the chart.
    StepLineChart3D.Series.Add(series1);

    // Access labels of the series.
    ((Line3DSeriesLabel)series1.Label).Visible = true;
    ((Line3DSeriesLabel)series1.Label).ResolveOverlappingMode =
        ResolveOverlappingMode.Default;

    // Access the series options.
    series1.PointOptions.PointView = PointView.ArgumentAndValues;

    // Customize the view-type-specific properties of the series.
    StepLine3DSeriesView myView = (StepLine3DSeriesView)series1.View;
    myView.LineWidth = 5;
    myView.LineThickness = 4;

    // Access the diagram's options.
    ((XYDiagram3D)StepLineChart3D.Diagram).RuntimeRotation = true;
    ((XYDiagram3D)StepLineChart3D.Diagram).RotationType = 
        RotationType.UseMouseStandard;

    // Add a title to the chart and hide the legend.
    ChartTitle chartTitle1 = new ChartTitle();
    chartTitle1.Text = "3D Step Line Chart";
    StepLineChart3D.Titles.Add(chartTitle1);
    StepLineChart3D.Legend.Visible = false;

    // Add the chart to the form.
    StepLineChart3D.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
    this.Controls.Add(StepLineChart3D);
}
