Attributes Controls

Edit a Series' Appearance

This page describes how to change the appearance of a series. The attributes controls of the .Net Analytics package include the following:

c-Chart (cChart)
np-Chart (npChart)
p-Chart (pChart)
u-Chart (uChart)

The series classes of the respective charts are:

A series includes a marker for the appearance of a point. The series marker applies to all points on the chart. The marker is of the following type:

Marker

Additionally, the following marker properties are visible at the series level:

The first step is to include the necessary namespaces for the controls and add a new series.

Edit the Marker and Line

Below, we will change a u-Chart series appearance (named series in the examples below) of a u-Chart (named ucChart in the examples below). The process is similar for the other charts:

[Visual Basic]

' Modify the color and size of the marker - these properties actually call 
                  the PointMarker object
series.PointColor = Color.Yellow

                  series.PointSize = 7

                  

                  ' Modify the PointMarker object directly to change the border color

                  series.PointMarker.BorderColor = Color.Red

                  

                  ' Access the series via the series collection and modify the line appearance

                  ucChart.SeriesCollection(0).LineColor = Color.Blue

                  ucChart.SeriesCollection(0).LineStyle = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.DashStyle.Dash

                  ucChart.SeriesCollection(0).LineWidth = 2

[Visual C#]

// Modify the color and size of the marker - these properties actually call 
                  the PointMarker object
series.PointColor = Color.Yellow;

                  series.PointSize = 7;

                  

                  // Modify the PointMarker object directly to change the border color

                  series.PointMarker.BorderColor = Color.Red;

                  

                  // Access the series via the series collection and modify the line appearance

                  ucChart.SeriesCollection[0].LineColor = Color.Blue;

                  ucChart.SeriesCollection[0].LineStyle = 
                  System.Drawing.Drawing2D.DashStyle.Dash;

                  ucChart.SeriesCollection[0].LineWidth = 2;

After the series has been added, samples may then be added to the series. Adding samples is discussed here. The resulting chart should look similar to the following:
