Histogram Control

Number of Bins/Cells

This page describes how to change the number of bins (also known as cells) of a histogram series. The histogram chart/control of the .Net Analytics package are of the following types:

HistogramChart (HistogramChart)
HistogramControl (HistogramControl)

The series class of the histogram chart/control is:

HistogramSeries

and the following property is responsible for the number of bins/cells:

Bins

The first step is to include the necessary namespace and add a new chart/control.

Change the Number of Bins/Cells

Below, we will change the number of bins/cells for the first series (named hsSeries in the examples below) of a Histogram control (named hcControl in the examples below):

[Visual Basic]

' Change the number of bins

                  hsSeries.Bins = 5

                  

                  ' An alternative method

                  hcControl.SeriesCollection(0).Bins = 5

[Visual C#]

// Change the number of bins

                  hsSeries.Bins = 5;

                  

                  // An alternative method

                  hcControl.SeriesCollection[0].Bins = 5;

In the chart below, you can test the code to see what the result will look like:
