XYDiagramSeriesViewBase.Pane Property

Gets or sets the pane, used to plot the current series on an XYDiagram.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v21.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Charts

Declaration

[XtraChartsLocalizableCategory(XtraChartsCategory.Layout)]
public XYDiagramPaneBase Pane { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Description
XYDiagramPaneBase

An XYDiagramDefaultPane or an XYDiagramPane object, representing the pane for the current series.

Remarks

By default, an XY-diagram displays a single default pane, which is accessible via the XYDiagram2D.DefaultPane property. If a diagram contains several series, it is possible to display each series on a separate pane. To do this, add an XYDiagramPane object to the XYDiagram2D.Panes collection (by default it is empty) and set the Pane property to this pane.

Panes_3

For more information, refer to Panes.

Example

This example shows how to plot multiple series in separate panes.

  1. Create a ChartControl object.

  2. Create two Series objects. Populate their Points collection with SeriesPoint objects. Add both series to the ChartControl.Series collection. See the Provide Data document for more information on how to create series and populate them with data.

  3. To add a pane in addition to the diagram’s DefaultPane, create a new XYDiagramPane and add it to the Panes collection. Use the XYDiagramSeriesViewBase.Pane property to assign the pane to a series view.

    Use the following API to specify the pane title and position options:

    Member Description
    XYDiagramPaneBase.Title Returns the pane title settings.
    XYDiagram2D.PaneDistance Specifies the distance between a diagram’s panes.
    XYDiagram2D.PaneLayout Returns the diagram’s pane layout configuration.
    XYDiagramPaneBase.LayoutOptions Returns settings that configure the pane’s position in the Grid Layout.
  4. To add a secondary x-axis, add a SecondaryAxisX object to the diagram’s SecondaryAxesX collection. To add a secondary y-axis, add a SecondaryAxisY object to the diagram’s SecondaryAxesY collection. To assign the axes to the view, use the AxisX and AxisY properties.

    Use the following properties to customize the axis options:

    Member Description
    Axis2D.Alignment Specifies the position of an axis relative to another primary axis.
    AxisBase.GridLines Gets the grid lines settings.

    // Add a new additional pane to the diagram.

    // Note that the created pane has the zero index in the collection,

    diagram.PaneLayout.AutoLayoutMode = PaneAutoLayoutMode.Linear;
    diagram.PaneLayout.Direction = PaneLayoutDirection.Horizontal;
    diagram.DefaultPane.LayoutOptions.ColumnSpan = 3;
    diagram.Panes[0].LayoutOptions.ColumnSpan = 2;

    // Add secondary axes to the diagram, and adjust their options.
    diagram.SecondaryAxesX.Add(new SecondaryAxisX("My Axis X"));
    diagram.SecondaryAxesY.Add(new SecondaryAxisY("My Axis Y"));
    diagram.SecondaryAxesX[0].Alignment = AxisAlignment.Near;
    diagram.SecondaryAxesY[0].Alignment = AxisAlignment.Near;
    diagram.SecondaryAxesY[0].GridLines.Visible = true;

    // Assign both the additional pane and, if required,
    // the secondary axes to the second series.             
    myView.AxisX = diagram.SecondaryAxesX[0];
    myView.AxisY = diagram.SecondaryAxesY[0];

    // Add the chart to the form.
    chartControl1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
    this.Controls.Add(chartControl1);
