Class ChartSeriesDescriptor

Represents an abstract definition of a ChartSeries instance. Used together with a ChartSeriesProvider instance to provide dynamic chart series generation, depending on the data specified. The descriptors form a neat hierarchy based on the type of data visualized - e.g. Categorical, Scatter, Financial, etc. This is the base class which encapsulates all the common functionality for all concrete descriptors.

Properties

ChartDataSourceStyle

Gets or sets the ChartDataSourceStyle.

Declaration
public Style ChartDataSourceStyle { get; set; }
Property Value
System.Windows.Style

CollectionIndex

Gets or sets the index within the Source collection of data (view models) for which the current descriptor should be used. This property is useful when for example a BarSeries needs to be generated for the first data entry and LineSeries for the rest of the entries.

Declaration
public int CollectionIndex { get; set; }
Property Value
System.Int32

DefaultType

Gets the default type of series that are to be created if no TypePath and no Style properties are specified.

Declaration
public virtual Type DefaultType { get; }
Property Value
System.Type

ItemsSourcePath

Gets or sets the name of the property that points to the items source that will feed the generated series.

Declaration
public string ItemsSourcePath { get; set; }
Property Value
System.String

Style

Gets or sets the Style that describes the appearance of the series that are to be created. If no TypePath is specified, the TargetType property of this style object is used to generate the desired series.

Declaration
public Style Style { get; set; }
Property Value
System.Windows.Style

TypeConverter

Gets or sets a converter that can be used to provide the exact type of the series that should be created.

Declaration
public IValueConverter TypeConverter { get; set; }
Property Value
System.Windows.Data.IValueConverter

TypePath

Gets or sets the name of the property that points to the series type that needs to be created.

Declaration
public string TypePath { get; set; }
Property Value
System.String

Parameters
System.Object context

Returns
ChartSeries

CreateInstance(Object)

Creates an instance of the ChartSeries type, defined by this descriptor.

Declaration
public ChartSeries CreateInstance(object context)
Parameters
System.Object context

The context (this is the raw data collection or the data view model) for which a ChartSeries needs to be created.
Returns
ChartSeries
