Radial Area Series

This topic explains, with code examples, how to use Radial Area Series in the XamDataChart™ control.

Introduction

Radial Area Series has a shape of a filled polygon that is bound by a collection of straight lines connecting data points. The RadialAreaSeries uses the same concepts of data plotting as the AreaSeries but wraps data points around a circle rather than stretching them along a horizontal line. For more information on this group of series, refer to the Radial Series topic.

Figure 1 demonstrates what Radial Area Series looks like when plotted in the XamDataChart control.

Data Binding

The code snippet below shows how to bind sample radial data (which is available for download from the Sample Category Data resource) to the RadialAreaSeries. The example assumes that you have already configured your project for the XamDataChart control.

In XAML:

xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Infragistics.Models;assembly=YourAppName"
...
<ig:XamDataChart x:Name="DataChart">
    <ig:XamDataChart.Resources>
        <models:CategoryDataSource x:Key="data" />
        <SolidColorBrush x:Key="AxisStripBrush" Color="LightGray" Opacity=".4" />
    </ig:XamDataChart.Resources>
    <ig:XamDataChart.Axes>
        <ig:CategoryAngleAxis x:Name="angleAxis"
                              Interval="1"
                              Label="{}{Category}"
                              ItemsSource="{StaticResource data}">
        </ig:CategoryAngleAxis>
        <ig:NumericRadiusAxis x:Name="radiusAxis"
                              Strip="{StaticResource AxisStripBrush}"
                              MinimumValue="0"
                              MaximumValue="150"
                              Interval="50"
                              RadiusExtentScale="0.8"
                              InnerRadiusExtentScale="0.2">
        </ig:NumericRadiusAxis>
    </ig:XamDataChart.Axes>
    <ig:XamDataChart.Series>
        <ig:RadialAreaSeries AngleAxis="{Binding ElementName=angleAxis}"
                             ValueAxis="{Binding ElementName=radiusAxis}"
                             ValueMemberPath="Value"
                             Brush="#7F58A6C7"
                             MarkerType="None"
                             Outline="#FF58A6C7"
                             Thickness="5"
                             ItemsSource="{StaticResource data}">
        </ig:RadialAreaSeries>
    </ig:XamDataChart.Series>
</ig:XamDataChart>

In C#:

var data = new CategoryDataSource();

var angleAxis = new CategoryAngleAxis();
angleAxis.ItemsSource = data;
angleAxis.Label = "{Category}";
angleAxis.Interval = 1;

var radiusAxis = new NumericRadiusAxis();
radiusAxis.MinimumValue = 0;
radiusAxis.MaximumValue = 150;
radiusAxis.Interval = 50;
radiusAxis.RadiusExtentScale = 0.8;
radiusAxis.InnerRadiusExtentScale = 0.2;

var series = new RadialAreaSeries();
series.ItemsSource = data;
series.ValueMemberPath = "Value";
series.AngleAxis = angleAxis;
series.ValueAxis = radiusAxis;
series.MarkerType = MarkerType.None;
series.Thickness = 5;

var chart = new XamDataChart();
chart.Axes.Add(angleAxis);
chart.Axes.Add(radiusAxis);
chart.Series.Add(series);

In Visual Basic:

Dim data As New CategoryDataSource()
Dim angleAxis As New CategoryAngleAxis()
angleAxis.ItemsSource = data
angleAxis.Label = "{Category}"
angleAxis.Interval = 1

Dim radiusAxis As New NumericRadiusAxis()
radiusAxis.MinimumValue = 0
radiusAxis.MaximumValue = 150
radiusAxis.Interval = 50
radiusAxis.RadiusExtentScale = 0.8
radiusAxis.InnerRadiusExtentScale = 0.2

Dim series As New RadialAreaSeries()
series.ItemsSource = data
series.ValueMemberPath = "Value"
series.AngleAxis = angleAxis
series.ValueAxis = radiusAxis
series.MarkerType = MarkerType.None
series.Thickness = 5

Dim chart As New XamDataChart()
chart.Axes.Add(angleAxis)
chart.Axes.Add(radiusAxis)
chart.Series.Add(series)
