SankeyDiagramControl.LayoutAlgorithm Property

Specifies Sankey layout algorithm settings.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.Sankey

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.v21.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public SankeyLayoutAlgorithmBase LayoutAlgorithm { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property LayoutAlgorithm As SankeyLayoutAlgorithmBase

Property Value

Type	Description
SankeyLayoutAlgorithmBase	Contains Sankey layout algorithm settings.

Remarks

Linear Layout Algorithm

You can use the predefined SankeyLinearLayoutAlgorithm. The SankeyLinearLayoutAlgorithm.NodeAlignment property specifies the node alignment.

The following example aligns nodes to the top of the SankeyDiagramControl:

XAML

<dxsa:SankeyDiagramControl x:Name="sankeyDiagramControl1" DataSource="{Binding Data}" 
                           SourceDataMember="Source" 
                           TargetDataMember="Target" 
                           WeightDataMember="Value">
    <!--...-->
    <dxsa:SankeyDiagramControl.LayoutAlgorithm>
        <dxsa:SankeyLinearLayoutAlgorithm NodeAlignment="Far"/>
    </dxsa:SankeyDiagramControl.LayoutAlgorithm>
</dxsa:SankeyDiagramControl>

Custom Layout Algorithm

To implement a custom layout, create a descendant of the SankeyLayoutAlgorithmBase class. Override the SankeyLayoutAlgorithmBase.CalculateNodeBounds method to specify node bounds:

XAML

<dxsa:SankeyDiagramControl x:Name="sankeyDiagramControl1" DataSource="{Binding Data}" 
                            SourceDataMember="Source" 
                            TargetDataMember="Target" 
                            WeightDataMember="Value">
    <dxsa:SankeyDiagramControl.DataContext>
        <local:SankeyViewModel/>
    </dxsa:SankeyDiagramControl.DataContext>
    <dxsa:SankeyDiagramControl.LayoutAlgorithm>
        <local:MyLayoutAlgorithm/>
    </dxsa:SankeyDiagramControl.LayoutAlgorithm>
</dxsa:SankeyDiagramControl>
