IntervalNumericScaleOptions.Pattern Property

Gets or sets a format string that configures text for the interval axis labels and crosshair labels.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Charts

Declaration

C#

public string Pattern { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property Pattern As String

Property Value

Type	Description
String	A format string.

Remarks

Patterns can contain regular text (displayed as is) and value placeholders in braces. To format numeric and date/time values, you can apply Format Specifiers. Use a colon to separate a placeholder and its format specifier.

The following table contains the available placeholders:

Placeholder	Description
{OB}	Displays an opening bracket.
{CB}	Displays a closing bracket.
{A1}	Displays the interval start value.
{A2}	Displays the interval end value.

Example

This example demonstrates how to create a histogram chart with bins of a given width.

The code below configures a histogram for a chart with a numeric x-axis scale.

XAML

<dxc:ChartControl x:Name="chartControl">
    <dxc:XYDiagram2D>
        <dxc:XYDiagram2D.AxisX>
            <dxc:AxisX2D TickmarksMinorVisible="False" 
                         GridLinesVisible="True">
                <dxc:AxisX2D.NumericScaleOptions>
                    <!-- Configure a histogram with the specified number of bins. -->
