ChartDataSourceAdapter Class

The base class for data adapters that provide data to generate chart items.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraMap

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraMap.v18.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public abstract class ChartDataSourceAdapter :
    DataSourceAdapterBase,
    IMapChartDataAdapter,
    IMapDataAdapter,
    ILockableObject,
    ILegendDataProvider,
    IChartDataAdapterCore

VB.NET

Public MustInherit Class ChartDataSourceAdapter
    Inherits DataSourceAdapterBase
    Implements IMapChartDataAdapter,
               IMapDataAdapter,
               ILockableObject,
               ILegendDataProvider,
               IChartDataAdapterCore

Remarks

This class introduces the ChartDataSourceAdapter.ItemMinSize and ChartDataSourceAdapter.ItemMaxSize properties to specify the maximum and minimum sizes of adapter generated chart items. The ChartDataSourceAdapter also introduces the ChartDataSourceAdapter.MeasureRules property, that allows specifying the rules for size changes, depending on the chart item value.

Example

The PieChartDataAdapter class is intended to automatically generate pie charts from a data source.

To do this, create the PieChartDataAdapter object, set its DataSourceAdapterBase.DataSource property and assign this data adapter to the VectorItemsLayer.Data property.

Then, specify the following properties of the PieChartDataAdapter object.

• The PieChartDataAdapter.PieItemDataMember property;
• The MapItemMappingInfo.Latitude and MapItemMappingInfo.Longitude mappings of the PieChartDataAdapter.Mappings property;
• The MapChartItemMappingInfo.Value mapping of the PieChartDataAdapter.Mappings property;
• The MapPieMappingInfo.PieSegment mapping of the PieChartDataAdapter.Mappings property.
