XYDiagram3D.BarDistance Property

Gets or sets the variable distance value (as a fraction of axis units) between two bars of different 3D Bar Series shown at the same argument point.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Charts

Declaration

public double BarDistance { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Description
Double

A Double value that represents the distance between two neighboring bars as a fraction of axis units, where an axis unit is the distance between two major values on the axis.

Remarks

The BarDistance property is introduced by the XYDiagram3D class, to synchronize it in all 3D Side-by-Side Bar series which are present in a chart.

The BarDistance property specifies the distance between two bars in a 3D Side-by-Side Bar Series. This property’s value is given as a fraction, allowing the distance to be automatically resized when the size of the chart is changed. For instance, if the BarDistance property is set to 0.5, then the distance between the two bars will be always equal to half the range between the two major values on the axis.

To specify the distance between two bars in pixels, use the XYDiagram3D.BarDistanceFixed property. If both the BarDistance and XYDiagram3D.BarDistanceFixed properties are in effect at the same time, their values are summed as constant and variable distances.

Example

This example demonstrates how to create a 3D Manhattan Bar chart.

Manhattan Chart

  1. Create a ChartControl and specify its ChartControl.Diagram property to a XYDiagram3D object.

    Note

    Note that the ChartControl.Diagram is a content property. You can declare a diagram in XAML directly after a chart control’s declaration and not wrap it in opening and closing ChartControl.Diagram tags.

  2. Add a BarSeries3D object to the Diagram.Series collection.

    Note

    Note that the Diagram.Series is a content property. You can declare series in XAML directly after a diagram’s declaration and not wrap it in opening and closing Diagram.Series tags.

  3. Use the following properties to bind the series to data:
