StripLimit Class

Contains settings that define the limiting values of strips.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public abstract class StripLimit :
    ChartElement,
    IStripLimit,
    IAxisValueContainer

VB.NET

Public MustInherit Class StripLimit
    Inherits ChartElement
    Implements IStripLimit,
               IAxisValueContainer

Remarks

The StripLimit class serves as a base for the MinStripLimit and MaxStripLimit classes. The settings exposed by the StripLimit class are common to all strip limit types (minimum and maximum) and allow you to specify a strip’s limiting value (StripLimit.AxisValue) and control whether this limiting value is enabled (StripLimit.Enabled).

For more information, refer to Strips.

Example

This example demonstrates how strips can be created and customized at runtime.

Since strips reside in an appropriate axis collection, you should first cast your diagram object to the required diagram’s type. Then, you can access the collection via the Axis2D.Strips property.

C#

// Cast the chart's diagram to the XYDiagram type, to access its axes.
XYDiagram diagram = (XYDiagram)chartControl1.Diagram;

// Create a strip with its maximum and minimum axis value defined.
diagram.AxisY.Strips.Add(new Strip("Strip 1", 5, 15));

// Customize the strip's behavior.
diagram.AxisY.Strips[0].Visible = true;
diagram.AxisY.Strips[0].ShowAxisLabel = true;
diagram.AxisY.Strips[0].AxisLabelText = "My Range";
diagram.AxisY.Strips[0].ShowInLegend = true;
diagram.AxisY.Strips[0].LegendText = "A Sample Strip";

// Customize the strip's appearance.
diagram.AxisY.Strips[0].Color = Color.CornflowerBlue;
diagram.AxisY.Strips[0].FillStyle.FillMode = FillMode.Empty;

VB.NET

' Cast the chart's diagram to the XYDiagram type, to access its axes.
Dim diagram As XYDiagram = CType(chartControl1.Diagram, XYDiagram)

' Create a strip with its maximum and minimum axis value defined.
diagram.AxisY.Strips.Add(new Strip("Strip 1", 5, 15))

' Customize the strip's behavior.
diagram.AxisY.Strips(0).Visible = True
diagram.AxisY.Strips(0).ShowAxisLabel = True
diagram.AxisY.Strips(0).AxisLabelText = "My Range"
diagram.AxisY.Strips(0).ShowInLegend = True
diagram.AxisY.Strips(0).LegendText = "A Sample Strip"

' Customize the strip's appearance.
diagram.AxisY.Strips(0).Color = Color.CornflowerBlue
diagram.AxisY.Strips(0).FillStyle.FillMode = FillMode.Empty
