ChartView Class

Visualizes data in the Cartesian coordinate system.

Namespace: DevExpress.XamarinForms.Charts

Assembly: DevExpress.XamarinForms.Charts.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.XamarinForms.Charts

Declaration

public class ChartView :
    ChartBaseView

Remarks

This view supports a wide variety of Cartesian series types and allows you to display data as any of the basic chart types or combination of different series views.

ChartView‘s properties allow you to add data series to a chart, configure chart axes, specify chart elements (legend, series labels and hints), and customize the chart appearance.

Chart Series

A chart visualizes data which series provide. Each series defines data appearance and behavior. ChartView supports different series types you can use to show data as areas, bars, points, bubbles, lines, etc.

Show Supported Series Types

Chart	Series Type
	AreaSeries Displays data as filled areas on a chart, with each data point as a peak or hollow in this filled area.
	StackedAreaSeries Displays data as areas on a chart, so that each data point value is aggregated with values of the underlying data points.
	FullStackedAreaSeries Displays data as areas on a chart, so that each data point value is stacked with values of all the other corresponding data points and the total area is always the full area of the chart diagram.
	StepAreaSeries Displays data as filled areas on a chart, with data points connected by horizontal and vertical lines.
	RangeAreaSeries Displays data as a filled area between two value sets.
	BarSeries Displays data as individual bars grouped by arguments, and each bar height is determined by the data value.
	StackedBarSeries Displays data as bars stacked by arguments, so that each stacked bar height is determined by the total of all the series values for the argument.
	FullStackedBarSeries Displays data as bars stacked by arguments, so that each stacked bar height is always the full height of the chart diagram and series values are displayed as percentages of a bar.
	SideBySideStackedBarSeries Displays data as bars stacked according to the StackedGroup property value and grouped by arguments. The height of each stacked bar is determined by the total of series values the bar contains.
	SideBySideFullStackedBarSeries Displays data as bars stacked according to the StackedGroup property value and grouped by arguments. The height of each bar is always the full height of the chart diagram and series values are displayed as percentages of a bar.
	RangeBarSeries Displays data as bars that show ranges between two data values for argument values. Bars with the same argument from different series may overlap.
	SideBySideRangeBarSeries Displays data as bars grouped by arguments. Each bar shows the range between two data values for the argument value.
	PointSeries Displays data as a collection of points.
	LineSeries Displays data as points connected by a line.
	SplineSeries Displays data as points connected by a curved line.
	StepLineSeries Displays data as points connected by horizontal and vertical lines.
	ScatterLineSeries Displays data as a collection of points connected by a line, in the order they were indexed (opposite to LineSeries that automatically sorts all series points within the collection by their arguments).
	BubbleSeries Displays three-dimensional data as a collection of bubbles, so that each bubble position visualizes the first two dimensions and the bubble size is the third dimension.
	StockSeries Displays an Open-High-Low-Close typical financial series so that each data point consists of a vertical line indicating the price range over one unit of time, and the left and right tick marks showing the opening and closing prices for that time period, respectively.
	CandleStickSeries Displays an Open-High-Low-Close typical financial series so that each data point consists of a vertical line indicating the price range over one unit of time and a rectangle showing the opening and closing prices for that time period.

Note

To display Pie series, use the PieChartView view instead.

To add a series to a chart, add a series object of a type the ChartView supports to the ChartView.Series collection.

   public DateTimeData(DateTime year, double population) {

}

Axes

The ChartView uses the axis of arguments (X-axis) and the axis of values (Y-axis) to define coordinates of data points on a chart. You can set chart axes with the ChartView.AxisX and ChartView.AxisY properties.

To customize a chart’s X-axis or Y-axis, create an axis object of the supported type, configure it, and assign it to the ChartView.AxisX or ChartView.AxisY property.

Axis	Supported Types
X-Axis	DateTimeAxisX NumericAxisX QualitativeAxisX
Y-Axis	NumericAxisY

At the chart level, you can specify a single axis X and a single axis Y. In some scenarios, these two axes are not enough. For example, if it’s required to display series of different ranges of values on the same chart, or have different arguments or values within a single diagram. In these cases, to increase data readability, you can associate each series on your chart with a separate axis. To do this, use the Series.AxisX or Series.AxisY properties.

Several series can share a secondary axis. To achieve that, add a new axis object to the resource dictionary, and assign it to the AxisX or AxisY property of the series you want to associate with this axis.

To adjust the axis layout, use the DisplayPosition and Layout properties.
