Scatter Plot Control

Add a New Series

This page describes how to add a scatter plot series. The scatter plot control of the .Net Analytics package is of the following type:

Scatter Plot (ScatterPlot)

The series class of the scatter plot is:

ScatterPlotSeries

The first step is to include the necessary namespaces for the controls.

Add a Single Series

Below, we will add a new series to an Scatter plot (named spPlot in the examples below). The process is similar for the other charts:

[Visual Basic]

' Create a new series
Dim spsSeries As New ScatterPlotSeries("Series 1")
' Add the series to the collection

                  spPlot.SeriesCollection.Add(spsSeries)

' An alternative is to add the series directly to the collection

                  spPlot.SeriesCollection.Add("Series 1")

[Visual C#]

// Create a new series
ScatterPlotSeries spsSeries = new ScatterPlotSeries("Series 1");
// Add the series to the collection

                  spPlot.SeriesCollection.Add(spsSeries);

// An alternative is to add the series directly to the collection

                  spPlot.SeriesCollection.Add("Series 1");

After the series has been added, samples may then be added to the series. Adding samples is discussed here. The first series of the chart can be referenced via spPlot.SeriesCollection[0]. The resulting chart should look similar to the following:

Add More than One Series

The scatter plot control supports multiple series. Just add more series to the series collection.

[Visual Basic]

' Create a new series
spsSeries = New ScatterPlotSeries("Series 2")
' Add the series to the collection

                  spPlot.SeriesCollection.Add(spsSeries)

' An alternative is to add the series directly to the collection

                  spPlot.SeriesCollection.Add("Series 2")

[Visual C#]

// Create a new series
spsSeries = new ScatterPlotSeries("Series 2");
// Add the series to the collection

                  spPlot.SeriesCollection.Add(spsSeries);

// An alternative is to add the series directly to the collection

                  spPlot.SeriesCollection.Add("Series 2");

The nth series of the chart can be referenced via spPlot.SeriesCollection[n]. The resulting chart should look similar to the following after data has been added to the series:
