Remarks

The SeriesPoint class implements the functionality of an individual series data point in a series. Each point has two coordinates.

Note

If a point misses any of the arguments or values implied by the series view and scale type, it is considered empty, meaning that it isn’t drawn on the diagram, leaving a gap in the series data.

Points of a single series are stored within its Series.Points collection (represented by an instance of the SeriesPointCollection class). The collection provides the standard means for manipulating its items (such as adding, removing and accessing them), and each data point in it is available via the Item property of the collection, using indexer notation.

The Series.PointOptions property provides access to settings that define the data representation format of data points.

Example

This example shows how to create a 2D Side-by-Side Bar chart.

  1. Create a ChartControl and set its ChartControl.Diagram property to a XYDiagram2D object. Note that the ChartControl.Diagram is a content property. You can declare a diagram in XAML directly after a chart control’s declaration without wrapping it in opening and closing ChartControl.Diagram tags.

  2. Specify the Diagram.SeriesItemsSource property to bind a collection of objects used to generate series.

    The Diagram.SeriesItemTemplate property allows you to define a template for all series. Use the following API members to configure a series item:

    Member Description
    BarSideBySideSeries2D Represents the 2D Side-by-Side Bar series.
    Series.DataSource Specifies the series’s data source.
    Series.ArgumentDataMember Defines the data member that provides the series’s arguments.
    Series.ValueDataMember Specifies the data member that provides the series’s values.
    Series.DisplayName Gets or sets the display name of the series.

    For more information on how to populate a chart with data, see the following section: Providing Data

  3. Use the following API members to configure the x-axis options.

    Member Description
    XYDiagram2D.AxisX Gets the X-axis.
    AxisX2D Represents the X-axis of a XYDiagram2D class.
    AxisX2D.DateTimeScaleOptions Provides access to the options that define the behavior of a date-time X-scale when its mode is manual, automatic or continuous.
  4. Create a legend and customize its settings. For more information about legends, refer to the following topic: Legends
