Rod,

We are wanting to do box and whisker plots.  Would you be willing to share your solution?

Thanks Rob,

  I have done something very similar to what you have suggested.  Its just the number of internal methods that are used in the rendering make it kind of difficult in determineing some of the drawing coordinates - But I have managed.

thanks for all the help!

Rod

Hi Rod,

If your data values match up with the already existing ones then extending the FinancialPriceSeries should be possible.  You're still going to need to either provide your own rendering logic or use the FinancialPriceSeries rendering and then modify the updated RootCanvas to add in your median and mean values.  As long as you call base.RenderSeriesOverride() in your custom series then you will use the FinancialPriceSeries default rendering.

public class MyTestSeries : FinancialPriceSeries
{
    protected override void RenderSeriesOverride(bool animate)
    {
        // Use FinancialPriceSeries rendering.
        base.RenderSeriesOverride(animate);
        
        if (RootCanvas != null)
        {
            // Add median and mean values to canvas.
        }
    }
}

Why do I think I am headed the wrong direction:

  Basically I felt like I was rewriting a lot of the stuff that was already done for me in the Financial Series.  For what we are doing, Open/Close/High/Low handles our Min/Max/Upperquartile/LowerQuartile .  All I need to add is the median and mean values (and the little tag lines at the end of the wick).  In my render code I have lots of little issues with aligning the Candlestick with the axis when there are only 1-2 values in the series.  

  I was really hoping it was easier to extend the financial series vs creating my own custom one.
