WaterfallAbsoluteValueOptions Class

Stores settings for a waterfall chart that is plotted based on absolute data source values.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Charts

Declaration

C#

public class WaterfallAbsoluteValueOptions :
    WaterfallValueOptionsBase

VB.NET

Public Class WaterfallAbsoluteValueOptions
    Inherits WaterfallValueOptionsBase

Remarks

Use the WaterfallAbsoluteValueOptions when the chart data source stores absolute values. In this case, the chart control automatically calculates differences between neighbor data point values and displays them as rising and falling bars.

Example

This example shows how to create a waterfall chart based on absolute values.

• Create a ChartControl and specify its ChartControl.Diagram property to a SimpleDiagram2D 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.

• Add a WaterfallSeries2D object to the Diagram.Series collection. Note that the Diagram.Series is a content property. You can declare series in XAML directly after a diagram’s declaration without wrapping them in opening and closing Diagram.Series tags.

• Use the following properties to bind the series to data:

  • 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.

• Use the WaterfallSeries2D.ValueOptions property to set value options. If data source stores value differences, use the WaterfallRelativeValueOptions. Use the WaterfallAbsoluteValueOptions class if the data source stores absolute data values.
