Example

The following example demonstrates how to create a ChartControl with a series of the Area3DSeriesView 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.

C#

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using DevExpress.XtraCharts;
// ...

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    // Create a new chart.
    ChartControl areaChart3D = new ChartControl();

    // Add an area series to it.
    Series series1 = new Series("Series 1", ViewType.Area3D);

    // Add points to the series.
    series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("A", 10));
    series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("B", 2));
    series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("C", 14));
    series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("D", 7));

    // Add the series to the chart.
    areaChart3D.Series.Add(series1);

    // Customize the view-type-specific properties of the series.
    ((Area3DSeriesView)series1.View).AreaWidth = 5;

    // Access the diagram's options.
    ((XYDiagram3D)areaChart3D.Diagram).ZoomPercent = 110;

    // Add a title to the chart and hide the legend.
    ChartTitle chartTitle1 = new ChartTitle();
    chartTitle1.Text = "3D Area Chart";
    areaChart3D.Titles.Add(chartTitle1);
    areaChart3D.Legend.Visible = false;

    // Add the chart to the form.
    areaChart3D.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
    this.Controls.Add(areaChart3D);
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraCharts
' ...

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, _ 
ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    ' Create a new chart.

    ' Add points to the series.
    series1.Points.Add(New SeriesPoint("A", 10))
    series1.Points.Add(New SeriesPoint("B", 2))
    series1.Points.Add(New SeriesPoint("C", 14))
    series1.Points.Add(New SeriesPoint("D", 7))

    ' Add the series to the chart.

    CType(areaChart3D.Diagram, XYDiagram3D).ZoomPercent = 110

    ' Add a title to the chart and hide the legend.
    Dim chartTitle1 As New ChartTitle()
    chartTitle1.Text = "3D Area Chart"
    areaChart3D.Titles.Add(chartTitle1)
    areaChart3D.Legend.Visible = False

    ' Add the chart to the form.
    areaChart3D.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
    Me.Controls.Add(areaChart3D)
