TaskLinkOptions Class
Contains settings that specify the appearance of a TaskLink object in a diagram of the Gantt Series type.
Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v24.1.dll
NuGet Package: DevExpress.Charts
Declaration
[TypeConverter(typeof(LocalizableExpandableObjectTypeConverter))]
public class TaskLinkOptions :
ChartElementRelated API Members
The following members return TaskLinkOptions objects:
Remarks
The TaskLinkOptions class defines how Task Link objects are represented in a diagram. Since a task link is displayed as an arrowed line, this class contains settings for specifying the arrowhead’s length and width, the line thickness, and minimum allowable gap (indent) between the line and the bar in the diagram.
An object of TaskLinkOptions type is available via the GanttSeriesView.LinkOptions property of the diagram.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to create a ChartControl with two series of the OverlappedGanttSeriesView 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 overlappedGanttChart = new ChartControl();
// Create two Gantt series.
Series series1 = new Series("Planned", ViewType.Gantt);
Series series2 = new Series("Completed", ViewType.Gantt);
// Set the date-time values scale type for both series,
// as it is qualitative, by default.
series1.ValueScaleType = ScaleType.DateTime;
series2.ValueScaleType = ScaleType.DateTime;
// Add points to them.
series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("Market analysis", new DateTime[] {
new DateTime(2006, 8, 16), new DateTime(2006, 8, 23) }));
series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("Feature planning", new DateTime[] {
new DateTime(2006, 8, 23), new DateTime(2006, 8, 26) }));
series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("Implementation", new DateTime[] {
new DateTime(2006, 8, 26), new DateTime(2006, 9, 26) }));
series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("Testing & bug fixing", new DateTime[] {
new DateTime(2006, 9, 26), new DateTime(2006, 10, 10) }));
series2.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("Market analysis", new DateTime[] {
new DateTime(2006, 8, 16), new DateTime(2006, 8, 23) }));
series2.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("Feature planning", new DateTime[] {
new DateTime(2006, 8, 23), new DateTime(2006, 8, 26) }));
series2.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("Implementation", new DateTime[] {
new DateTime(2006, 8, 26), new DateTime(2006, 9, 10) }));
// Add both series to the chart.
overlappedGanttChart.Series.AddRange(new Series[] { series1, series2 });
// Access the view-type-specific options of the series.
((GanttSeriesView)series1.View).BarWidth = 0.6;
((GanttSeriesView)series2.View).BarWidth = 0.3;
// Access the type-specific options of the diagram.
GanttDiagram myDiagram = (GanttDiagram)overlappedGanttChart.Diagram;
myDiagram.AxisY.Interlaced = true;
myDiagram.AxisY.GridSpacing = 10;
myDiagram.AxisY.Label.Angle = -30;
myDiagram.AxisY.DateTimeOptions.Format = DateTimeFormat.MonthAndDay;
// Add task links for the first Gantt series.
((GanttSeriesView)series1.View).LinkOptions.ArrowHeight = 7;
((GanttSeriesView)series1.View).LinkOptions.ArrowWidth = 11;
for (int i = 1; i < series1.Points.Count; i++) {
series1.Points[i].Relations.Add(series1.Points[i - 1]);
}
// Add a progress line.
ConstantLine progress =
new ConstantLine("Current progress", new DateTime(2006, 9, 10));
progress.ShowInLegend = false;
progress.Title.Alignment = ConstantLineTitleAlignment.Far;
myDiagram.AxisY.ConstantLines.Add(progress);
// Adjust the legend.
overlappedGanttChart.Legend.AlignmentHorizontal =
LegendAlignmentHorizontal.Right;
// Add a title to the chart (if necessary).
overlappedGanttChart.Titles.Add(new ChartTitle());
overlappedGanttChart.Titles[0].Text = "R&D Schedule";
// Add the chart to the form.
overlappedGanttChart.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
this.Controls.Add(overlappedGanttChart);
