Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Charts

Declaration

C#

[TypeConverter(typeof(WaterfallSeriesLabelTypeConverter))]
public class WaterfallSeriesLabel :
    SideBySideBarSeriesLabel

VB.NET

<TypeConverter(GetType(WaterfallSeriesLabelTypeConverter))>
Public Class WaterfallSeriesLabel
    Inherits SideBySideBarSeriesLabel

Remarks

The WaterfallSeriesLabel class provides label functionality for series of the Waterfall view type.

Use the SeriesBase.Label property to obtain a WaterfallSeriesLabel class instance for a series whose view type is WaterfallSeriesView.

To enable series labels, set the SeriesBase.LabelsVisibility property to DefaultBoolean.True

The WaterfallSeriesLabel class’s Position property allows you to change the position of waterfall series labels.

Example

This example shows how to create a chart with a data series of the waterfall view.

• Add a series to a chart.
• Specify the series data members.
• Use the WaterfallSeriesView object to configure the series view options.

• Specify value options. If data source stores value differences, use the WaterfallRelativeValueOptions. Use the WaterfallAbsoluteValueOptions class if the data source stores absolute data values.

  C#

  private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
      chartControl1.DataSource = LoadDataTableFromXml("../../Data/carbon.xml", "CarbonContribution");
      Series series = new Series("Carbon Balance", ViewType.Waterfall);
      series.SetDataMembers("Year", "Contribution");
      series.ArgumentScaleType = ScaleType.Qualitative;
      chartControl1.Series.Add(series);
      ((WaterfallSeriesLabel)series.Label).Position = WaterfallSeriesLabelPosition.OutsideEnd;
      series.LabelsVisibility = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.True;
      WaterfallSeriesView view = series.View as WaterfallSeriesView;
      if (view != null) {
          view.RisingBarColor = Color.FromArgb(218, 88, 89);
          view.FallingBarColor = Color.FromArgb(146, 206, 181);
          view.SubtotalBarColor = Color.Gray;
          view.TotalBarColor = Color.DarkGray;
          view.StartBarColor = Color.LightGray;
          view.ConnectorColor = Color.Black;
          view.ConnectorStyle.Thickness = 1;
          WaterfallRelativeValueOptions valueOptions = view.ValueOptions as WaterfallRelativeValueOptions;
          if (valueOptions != null) {
              valueOptions.StartBarLabel = "1989";
              valueOptions.StartBarValue = 2766D;
              valueOptions.ShowTotal = true;
              valueOptions.TotalLabel = "2018";
              valueOptions.Subtotals.Add(new Subtotal { PointIndex = 16, Label= "February 16, 2005" });
          }
      }  
  }
