Example

The Hit test allows you to determine chart elements located under the specified screen coordinates. For example, the method allows you to know which chart element an end user taps:

C#

public override void TouchesEnded(Foundation.NSSet touches,UIEvent evt) {
    UITouch touch = (UITouch)touches.AnyObject;
    CGPoint location = touch.LocationInView(this.chart);
    DXChartHitInfo hitInfo = this.chart.CalcHitInfo(location);

    bool useComma = false;
    StringBuilder textBuilder = new StringBuilder("You tap");

    if (hitInfo.InSeries) {
        textBuilder.Append(" in a series");
        useComma = true;
    }
    if (hitInfo.InPoint) {
        if (useComma) {
            textBuilder.Append(",");
        }
        textBuilder.Append(" in a point");
        useComma = true;
    }
    if (hitInfo.InLegend) {
        if (useComma) {
            textBuilder.Append(",");
        }
        textBuilder.Append(" in the legend");
    }
    textBuilder.Append(".");

    UIAlertController alertController = UIAlertController.Create(
        title: "Series hit-testing",
        message: textBuilder.ToString(),
        preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert
    );
    alertController.AddAction(
        UIAlertAction.Create(
            title: "OK",
            style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default,
            handler: null
        )
    );

    this.PresentViewController(
        viewControllerToPresent: alertController,
        animated: true,
        completionHandler: null
    );
}
