Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.Sankey

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Charts

Declaration

C#

public abstract class SankeyColorizerBase :
    DependencyObject,
    INotifyPropertyChanged

    Inherits DependencyObject
    Implements INotifyPropertyChanged

The following members return SankeyColorizerBase objects:

• SankeyDiagramControl.Colorizer

Remarks

To paint links and nodes based on a custom algorithm, create a class derived from the SankeyColorizerBase class. Then, assign an object of this class to the SankeyDiagramControl.Colorizer property.

The following example implements a colorizer that applies random colors to nodes and applies a gradient fill to links.

XAML

<dxsa:SankeyDiagramControl.Colorizer>
    <local:MyColorizer LinkSourceColor="Yellow" LinkTargetColor="Red" />
</dxsa:SankeyDiagramControl.Colorizer>

public class MyColorizer : SankeyColorizerBase {
    readonly Random rand = new Random();
    readonly Dictionary<string, Color> KeyColorPairs = new Dictionary<string, Color>();
    public Color LinkSourceColor { get; set; }
    public Color LinkTargetColor { get; set; }
    public override Color GetLinkSourceColor(SankeyLink link) {
        return LinkSourceColor;
    }
    public override Color GetLinkTargetColor(SankeyLink link) {
        return LinkTargetColor;
    }
