Plotting a Threshold Line in a DrillDown Series Chart

Description

By design, the defined plot band in the DrillDown Chart will be visible on each view. How can I plot a threshold line only in the first series?

Solution

  1. Handle the DrillDown event of the Chart and remove the plotBands settings from the initial Chart options.
  2. Handle the DrilldownSeriesFactory event that triggers when the current drill-down level has changed and set back the plot bands when the level is 0.

Here is a sample implementation:

@(Html.Kendo().ChartBreadcrumb()
    .Name("cb")
    .Chart("chart")
)

@(Html.Kendo().Chart<ChartViewModel>()
    .Name("chart")
    ...
    .Events(ev => ev.DrilldownLevelChange("onDrilldownLevelChange").Drilldown("onDrillDown"))
)
var initialPlotBands = [];

function onDrillDown(e) {
    initialPlotBands = e.sender.options.valueAxis.plotBands; // Store the initial plot bands options.
    e.sender.options.valueAxis.plotBands = null; // Remove the plotBands options.
    e.sender.redraw(); // Redraw the chart using the currently loaded data.
}

function onDrilldownLevelChange(e) {
    if (e.level === 0) { // Check if the current level is the first one.
        e.sender.options.valueAxis.plotBands = initialPlotBands; // Retrieve back the initial plot bands for the first series.
        e.sender.redraw();
    }
}
