FormatConditionColorRangeBar Class

A format condition used to visualize numeric values using bars whose colors are contained in the specified color set.

Namespace: DevExpress.DashboardCommon

Assembly: DevExpress.Dashboard.v24.1.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Dashboard.Core

Declaration

public class FormatConditionColorRangeBar :
    FormatConditionRangeSet,
    IMinMaxInfo

Remarks

Range conditions allow you to apply formatting using a predefined set of value ranges and corresponding style settings.

To create a format condition to display bars of different colors with lengths proportional to corresponding values, use the following approaches.

  1. To use a predefined set of colors, pass the required FormatConditionRangeSetPredefinedType enumeration value to the FormatConditionColorRangeBar constructor or call the FormatConditionColorRangeBar.Generate method.
  2. To use a predefined set of colors and custom range boundaries, do the following.

  3. To use custom range boundaries and the required style specified for each range, do the following.

Assign the resulting FormatConditionColorRangeBar object to the DashboardItemFormatRule.Condition property.

Example

The Bar Color Ranges condition (FormatConditionColorRangeBar) allows you to visualize numeric values using bars whose colors are contained in the specified color set.

This example shows how to display colored bars within Grid cells. Click the Update Format Rule button to change the number of ranges, specify new range boundaries and customize colors mapped to existing ranges.
