Combo Chart Type

This chart type supports all the series types. It is vertically oriented so the y axis (value axis) can only contain numeric or time values while the x axis can also contain names of elements (category axis).

Supported Series Types

• All

 Element values (properties) used on the (Y Axis).

• YValue
• YValueStart
• YDateTime
• YDateTimeStart
• BubbleSize
• Complete
• (Financial: Open Close High Low)

  Element values used on the (X Axis).

• XValue
• XDateTime
• Name 

ComboHorizontal Chart Type

This chart types is horizontally oriented so the x axis can only contain numeric or time values. It is the same as the Combo type except it's oriented horizontally.

Supported Series Types

• All (New in version 3.4)

Notice the X and Y properties are switched
  Element values used on the (Y Axis).

• XValue
• XDateTime
• Name 

 Element values used on the (X Axis).

• YValue
• YValueStart
• YDateTime
• YDateTimeStart
• BubbleSize
• Complete
• Element.Parent  (Gantt Dependencies)
• Element.InstanceID (Gantt Dependencies)
• Element.ParentID (Gantt Dependencies)
• (Financial: Open Close High Low)

Notice that the axes element values are reversed for this chart type, meaning the element XValue actually goes on the Y axis. The reason for this is so that if you change between vertical and horizontal chart types, the result will be the same.

ComboSideBySide Chart Type

This chart type is similar to combo but series are placed side by side and the x axis tick labels show series names instead of element names. This layout can be achieved in a normal combo chart by transposing the data.

Supported Series Types

• All

  Element values used on the (Y Axis).

• YValue
• YValueStart
• YDateTime
• YDateTimeStart
• BubbleSize
• Complete
• (Financial: Open Close High Low)

  Element values used on the (X Axis).

• None (Series.Name us used)

Notes SideBySide does not support unclustered columns.

Pie Chart Type

Shows a single pie consisting of all the series added to the chart where each slice represents a series.

Supported Series Types

• N/A

  Element values used on the (Y Axis).

• YValue

 Element values used on the (X Axis).

• N/A

 Related properties:

• Element.ForceMarker
• Element.ExplodeSlice
• Chart.PieLabelMode
• Chart.ExplodedSliceAmount
• Chart.DonutHoleSize (Donut Only)
• Chart.XAxis.OrientationAngle

Notice that the series are slices when using this chart type, hence, if only a single series is used, the chart will have a single 100% slice. To see each element use the plural ChartType.Pies.

 

PiesNested Chart Type

Shows a series of nested pies.

Scale.Stacked
The width of each ring can also reflect the series total values when Chart.YAxis.Scale = Scale.Stacked is used. Alternatively Series.DefaultElement.BubbleSize can be used to specify ring widths and will be applied when these properties are set.

Scale.Normal
When Scale.Normal is used, the pies are not stacked, the ring width of each pie is measured from the middle point of the pies. This means that if two series have the same ring width, one will completely cover the other.

In this mode, SpacingPercentageNested is not applicable.

Supported Series Types

• N/A

  Element values used on the (Y Axis).

• YValue
• Series.DefaultElement.BubbleSize (Control ring widths).

 Element values used on the (X Axis).

• N/A

 Related properties:

• Element.ForceMarker
• Chart.SpacingPercentageNested
• Chart.PieLabelMode

Radar Chart Type

Draws all series on a single radar. Both x and y axes are used. The x axis surrounds the radar and the y axis goes from the center to the outside.

Using this type will force each series to share a single x axis.

[C#]
Chart.XAxis.RadarMode = RadarMode.Polar;

[Visual Basic]
Chart.XAxis.RadarMode = RadarMode.Polar

Lines on polar charts will appear as curves. This is a feature which helps determine the actual values of lines along along the width of the lines.

MultipleGrouped Chart Type

Draws all series as elements of a single object such as types specified by SeriesTypeMultiple.

• FunnelCone
• FunnelPyramid
• Pyramid
• Cone
• Pie
• Donut
• Gauge
• StackedBubble (Uses Element.YValue, not Element.BubbleSize)

  Element values used on the (Y Axis).

• YValue

 Related properties:

• Chart.FunnelNozzlePercentage
• Chart.FunnelNozzleWidthPercentage
• Chart.SpacingPercentage
• Chart.BubbleStackShadeAsOne
• Chart.BubbleCenterStack

Gauges Chart Type

Shows each series as a gauge. Each can be a different GaugeType.

Please refer to the Gauges Tutorial for detailed documentation.

Donuts Chart Type

The series are laid out in a way that allows for the maximum space usage. One donut for each series.

• N/A

  Element values used on the (Y Axis).

• YValue
• Height (2D Only)

 Element values used on the (X Axis).

• N/A

 Related properties:

• Element.ForceMarker
• Element.ExplodeSlice
• Chart.PieLabelMode
• Chart.ExplodedSliceAmount
• Chart.DonutHoleSize
• Chart.XAxis.OrientationAngle
• Element.Outline

Radars Chart Type

Shows a radar for each series in the chart.

[C#]
Chart.XAxis.RadarMode = RadarMode.Polar;

[Visual Basic]
Chart.XAxis.RadarMode = RadarMode.Polar

Lines on polar charts will appear as curves. This is a feature which helps determine the actual values of lines along along the width of the lines.

Multiple Chart Type

Draws all series as individual objects. Different types are supported and can be specified by SeriesTypeMultiple for each series simultaneously. The benefit of this chart type is that it allows using different types such as pies, gauges, and the multiple types all on the same chart.

• FunnelCone
• FunnelPyramid
• Pyramid
• Cone
• Pie
• Donut
• Gauge
• StackedBubble (Uses Element.YValue, not Element.BubbleSize)

  Element values used on the (Y Axis).

• YValue

• Chart.FunnelNozzlePercentage
• Chart.FunnelNozzleWidthPercentage
• Chart.StackedSpacingPercentage
• Chart.BubbleStackShadeAsOne
• Chart.BubbleCenterStack

Pies Chart Type

Shows a single pie for each series in the chart.

Supported Series Types

• N/A

  Element values used on the (Y Axis).

• YValue
• Height (2D Only)
• Length

 Element values used on the (X Axis).

• N/A

 Related properties:

• Element.ForceMarker
• Element.ExplodeSlice
• Chart.PieLabelMode
• Chart.ExplodedSliceAmount
• Chart.XAxis.OrientationAngle
• Element.Outline

Organizational Chart Type

Shows an organizational chart based on the elements in the charts series collection.

Only Element annotations are used with this chart type. Annotation text can be specified but if left unpopulated, the element name text will be used inside the annotations.

An organizational chart has a single element at the top with no parent. Every other element will have either ParentID or Parent property set to indicate which other element it is under. All elements can be in a single series, however, the Series.Line property is used to draw connections between elements so multiple series can be used to group elements that use the same connecting line style.

Elements with no names or annotation text can be used to create more complex layouts by drawing a straight line through the location of the element as demonstrated in sample Gallery/M10

This type is explained in more detail in the Organizational Chart Tutorial.

Supported Series Types

• N/A

  Element values used on the (Y Axis).

• N/A

 Element values used on the (X Axis).

TreeMap Chart Type

TreeMap charts are used to display hierarchial tree structure data with nested rectangles. TreeMap charts can be created using live data or manually. The boxes support all bar shading effects and smart label layout. Series.Box can be used to control the styling and header of each series box.

This type is explained in more detail in the TreeMap Charts Tutorial.
