Alternating Colours in TreeMap
posted

Hi There,

I am using a TreeMap to show a representation of my tree. The structure that I am using has the same type at each level e.g.:

 

class Tag

{

       public string Name { get; set;}

       public int Count { get; set;}

       public List<Tag> Children { get; set; }

}

So I have setup a node template to show the tag, however I was hoping to be able to have the colours at each level on the tree alternate (i.e. have two styles for the same class type). I can easily put a flag in the class to say what colour to use, but not sure I can bind this.

Is there any way to do this?

 

Thanks

    Hi, mtatgl ,

    In order to obtain alternate colors you may use custom color mapper. Let's say you have your class like that

    public class Tag

    {

    public string Name { get; set; }

    public int Count { get; set; }

           public List<Tag> Children { get; set; }

     

           public int Level { get; set; }

           

    }

    (level might be some kind of bool , does not matter, showing if the tag's level is even or odd).

    The custom color mapper might be like that

    public class AlterateColorMapper : ValueMapper

        {

            public override void MapValue(TreemapNode node)

            {

                Tag data = node.DataContext as Tag;

                if (data != null)

                {

                    if (data.Level % 2 == 0)

                    {

                        node.Fill = new SolidColorBrush() { Color = Colors.Blue };

                    }

                    else

                    {

                        node.Fill = new SolidColorBrush() { Color = Colors.Red };

                    }

                }

            }

     

            public override void ResetValue(TreemapNode node)

            {

               

            }

        }

     The treemap should be instanced in the following way

    <igTreemap:XamTreemap x:Name="treemap">

                <igTreemap:XamTreemap.NodeBinders>

                    <igTreemap:NodeBinder TargetTypeName="Tag" ValuePath="Count" ItemsSourcePath="Children" TextPath="Name"></igTreemap:NodeBinder>

                </igTreemap:XamTreemap.NodeBinders>

                <igTreemap:XamTreemap.ValueMappers>

                    <local:AlterateColorMapper ></local:AlterateColorMapper>

                </igTreemap:XamTreemap.ValueMappers>

            </igTreemap:XamTreemap>

    I have attached a sample showing the usage of this mapper too.

     

    Thanks,

    Miroslav
