Pareto Control

Edit Cells Appearance

This page describes how to change the appearance of the cell of a pareto group. The pareto control of the .Net Analytics package is of the following type:

Pareto (ParetoChart)

The series class of the pareto chart is:

ParetoSeries

The group class of a pareto series is:

ParetoGroup

and the following properties are responsible for the cell appearance:

CellFillColor: the color of the cells/bins
CellFillWithPattern: if true, the following two properties will also be used
CellFillPattern: the pattern for the cells/bins
CellBackColor: this is used with CellFillColor to create the pattern

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

Change Cell Appearance

Below, we will change the appearance of the curve for a Pareto group (named pgGroup in the examples below) of a Pareto series (named psSeries in the examples below):

[Visual Basic]

' Change the color of the cell for the first group

                  pgGroup.CellFillColor = Color.Green

                  

                  ' The following also adds a pattern to the cell of the first group

                  pgGroup.CellFillWithPattern = True

                  pgGroup.CellFillPattern = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.HatchStyle.DottedDiamond

                  pgGroup.CellBackColor = Color.Gold

                  

                  ' Change the color of the cell for the second group

                  psSeries(1).CellFillColor = Color.Red

                  

                  ' The following also adds a pattern to the cell of the second group

                  psSeries(1).CellFillWithPattern = True

                  psSeries(1).CellFillPattern = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.HatchStyle.DarkVertical

                  psSeries(1).CellBackColor = Color.Blue

[Visual C#]

// Change the color of the cell for the first group

                  pgGroup.CellFillColor = Color.Green;

                  

                  // The following also adds a pattern to the cell of the first group

                  pgGroup.CellFillWithPattern = true;

                  pgGroup.CellFillPattern = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.HatchStyle.DottedDiamond;

                  pgGroup.CellBackColor = Color.Gold;

                  

                  // Change the color of the cell for the second group

                  psSeries[1].CellFillColor = Color.Red;

                  

                  // The following also adds a pattern to the cell of the second group

                  psSeries[1].CellFillWithPattern = true;

                  psSeries[1].CellFillPattern = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.HatchStyle.DarkVertical;

                  psSeries[1].CellBackColor = Color.Blue;
