XYDiagram3D.SeriesDistance Property

Gets or sets the value that represents the distance between series for a 3D plot.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Charts

Declaration

C#

public double SeriesDistance { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property SeriesDistance As Double

Property Value

Type	Description
Double	A Double value, measured in fractions of X-axis units. An axis unit is a distance between two major values on the X-axis.

Example

This example demonstrates how to create a 3D Manhattan Bar 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:

   • 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.
