LineSeries2D Class

Represents the 2D Line series.

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Charts

Declaration

C#
VB.NET

public class LineSeries2D :
    SegmentSeries2DBase,
    ISupportMarker2DHitTest,
    ISupportMarker2D,
    ILineSeries,
    IGeometryHolder

Public Class LineSeries2D
    Inherits SegmentSeries2DBase
    Implements ISupportMarker2DHitTest,
               ISupportMarker2D,
               ILineSeries,
               IGeometryHolder

Example

The following example demonstrates how to create a 2D Line chart. To do this, it is necessary to assign the ChartControl.Diagram property to XYDiagram2D, and then add a LineSeries2D object with points to the diagram’s Diagram.Series collection.

Also, this example shows how to add a legend (showing series names) to a chart.
