Property Value

Type	Description
WaterfallSeriesLabelPosition	A WaterfallSeriesLabelPosition enumeration value that specifies the label position.

Available values:

Name	Description
Auto	The label position is defined based on the series count. Labels are outside waterfall bars if the chart shows a single waterfall series. Labels are positioned in the bar center if the chart shows multiple waterfall series.
Center	Labels are displayed in the center of waterfall bars.
InsideEnd	Labels are displayed inside waterfall bars, at the bottom of falling bars and at the top of rising bars.
InsideStart	Labels are displayed inside waterfall bars, at the bottom of rising bars and at the top of falling bars.

Remarks

When the Position property is set to OutsideEnd, the lines that connect labels with their corresponding points become visible, and the following properties become available: SeriesLabelBase.LineColor, SeriesLabelBase.LineLength, SeriesLabelBase.LineStyle and SeriesLabelBase.LineVisible.

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" });
          }
      }
