Show Data Values On 2D Column Chart
posted

I would like to show data values on a 2D column chart (see attachment).  Currently, I can do this on a 3D pie chart very easily, but I can't figure out how to make it happen on a 2D column chart.  I can't use a 3D chart because there are times when a bank account might be overdrawn and have a negative value.

    Hi,

    To get the data values to display on the chart use the ChartText collection. 

    http://help.infragistics.com/doc/WinForms/2016.1/CLR4.0/?page=Chart_Apply_Chart_Text_Labels.html has a walkthrough applying chart text and modifying the alignment of the text.  The basic code would go something like this:

    Infragistics.UltraChart.Resources.Appearance.ColumnChartAppearance columnChartapp = new Infragistics.UltraChart.Resources.Appearance.ColumnChartAppearance();

    Infragistics.UltraChart.Resources.Appearance.ChartTextAppearance chartTextApp = new Infragistics.UltraChart.Resources.Appearance.ChartTextAppearance();

    chartTextApp.ChartTextFont = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 7F);

    chartTextApp.ClipText = false;

    chartTextApp.Column = -2;

    chartTextApp.ItemFormatString = "<DATA_VALUE:00.00>";

    chartTextApp.Row = -2;

    chartTextApp.Visible = true;

    columnChartapp.ChartText.Add(chartTextApp);

    this.ultraChart1.ColumnChart = columnChartapp;
