Hi again,

Sorry to spam the forum with this third topic in a row but I thought this might need to be ask in a separate topic.

How can I make my graph take the whole available space in the NChart object ? Chart is 3D, but for now only seen with an OrthogonalTop projection.

I need no axis or walls at all, but setting their visible property to false doesn't seems to be enough.

Here is the code I use to create the chartControl and the chart object.

Protected Sub CreateGraph()
    SyncLock fLockForChart
      ' Define the chart control (place holder for the graph)
      fChartControl = New NChartControl()
      fChartControl.Charts.Clear()
      fChartControl.Name = String.Format("chartControl_{0}", fSubPile.ToString())
      fChartControl.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
      fChartControl.Margin = New Padding(0)
      fChartControl.Padding = New Padding(0)
      fChartControl.BackgroundStyle.FrameStyle.Visible = False
      AddHandler fChartControl.Click, AddressOf Chart_Click
      AddHandler fChartControl.MouseDown, AddressOf Chart_MouseDown

      Dim zMin As Integer = fSubPile.Parent.DimMinZ.Value, zMax As Integer = Integer.Parse(fSubPile.Parent.DimMaxZ.Value) + Integer.Parse(fDataStorage.CellDimZ.Value)
      ' Define the graph and set its parameters
      fChart = New NCartesianChart()
      fChart.Series.Clear()
      fChart.Name = String.Format("nGraph_{0}", fSubPile.ToString())
      fChart.Enable3D = True
      fChart.Projection.SetPredefinedProjection(PredefinedProjection.OrthogonalTop)
      fChart.LightModel.SetPredefinedLightModel(PredefinedLightModel.None)
      fChart.BackgroundFillStyle = New NColorFillStyle(Color.LightBlue)                  ' For screenshot on Nevron Forum only
      fChart.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
      fChart.Location = New NPointL(0, 0)
      fChart.BoundsMode = BoundsMode.Stretch
      fChart.Padding = New NMarginsL(0)
      fChart.Margins = New NMarginsL(0)
      fChart.Height = zMax - zMin
      fChart.Axes(StandardAxis.PrimaryY).View = New NRangeAxisView(New NRange1DD(zMin, zMax))
      For Each wall As NChartWall In fChart.Walls
        'wall.Visible = False                                                           ' This is commentend to show the diffrence between screenshots
        wall.Width = 0
      Next
      'For Each axis As NCartesianAxis In fChart.Axes
      '  axis.Visible = False                                                           ' This is also commented only for the screenshot
      'Next

      ' Define the point series
      fRangeSeries = New NRangeSeries()
      fRangeSeries.Name = String.Format("nPointSeries_{0}", fSubPile.ToString())
      fRangeSeries.InflateMargins = False
      fRangeSeries.DataLabelStyle.Visible = False
      fRangeSeries.Legend.Mode = SeriesLegendMode.None
      fRangeSeries.BorderStyle.Width = New NLength(0)
      fRangeSeries.UseXValues = True
      fRangeSeries.UseZValues = True
      fRangeSeries.Shape = BarShape.Bar


      ' Add the serie to the graph, the graph to its place holder and the whole to the panel (subPileView)
      fChart.Series.Add(fRangeSeries)
      fChartControl.Charts.Add(fChart)
      Me.Controls.Add(fChartControl)
    End SyncLock
  End Sub

On the attached screenshot you will see that we are still able to see the blue background (with axis visible and not). What do I need to change to have the plot covering the blue area ?


Thanks for your help,

Best regards,

Joël

Hi Joel,

1. I had to replace it with this:
fChart.Dock = DockStyle.Fill

Sorry for this - the upcoming 2014.1 release has renamed this property in order to avoid using System.Windows.Forms enums in chart DOM.

2) Why are we using the value 50 in the chart width and depth ?

It can be any value however it's good to keep the chart model bounds in the range 20-100 in order for them to be in the viewing frustrum. The model values hare are just used to define an aspect.

3) What is the point of naming the scale configurator title ? Especially if we are going to hide it after ?

That should be removed from the code as it is not required.

Hope this helps - let us know if you meet any problems.
