Example
The following example demonstrates how to create a ChartControl with two series of the SideBySideBarSeriesView type, and add this chart to a form at runtime. Before proceeding with this example, first create a Windows Forms Application in Visual Studio, and include all necessary assemblies to the References list of your project.
Then, add the following code to the Form.Load event handler.
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using DevExpress.XtraCharts;
// ...
namespace SideBySideBar2D {
public partial class Form1 : Form {
public Form1() {
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
// Create an empty chart.
ChartControl sideBySideBarChart = new ChartControl();
// Create the first side-by-side bar series and add points to it.
Series series1 = new Series("Side-by-Side Bar Series 1", ViewType.Bar);
series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("A", 10));
series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("B", 12));
series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("C", 14));
series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("D", 17));
// Create the second side-by-side bar series and add points to it.
Series series2 = new Series("Side-by-Side Bar Series 2", ViewType.Bar);
series2.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("A", 15));
series2.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("B", 18));
series2.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("C", 25));
series2.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("D", 33));
// Add the series to the chart.
sideBySideBarChart.Series.Add(series1);
sideBySideBarChart.Series.Add(series2);
// Hide the legend (if necessary).
sideBySideBarChart.Legend.Visibility = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.False;
// Rotate the diagram (if necessary).
((XYDiagram)sideBySideBarChart.Diagram).Rotated = true;
// Add a title to the chart (if necessary).
ChartTitle chartTitle1 = new ChartTitle();
chartTitle1.Text = "Side-by-Side Bar Chart";
sideBySideBarChart.Titles.Add(chartTitle1);
// Add the chart to the form.
sideBySideBarChart.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
this.Controls.Add(sideBySideBarChart);
}
}
}
