Nice ultrachart time vs data

henry posted over 12 years ago

I need to convince my management that we can do very nice plots using infragistics, up to know this is what I have:

In order have that here is my code :

            //Set the chart titles
            ChartPureAlpha.Text = TickerName;


            //Set Chart legend
            this.ChartPureAlpha.Legend.Visible = true;
            this.ChartPureAlpha.Legend.Location = LegendLocation.Right;
            this.ChartPureAlpha.Legend.Margins.Left = 5;
            this.ChartPureAlpha.Legend.Margins.Right = 10;
            this.ChartPureAlpha.Legend.Margins.Top = 15;
            this.ChartPureAlpha.Legend.Margins.Bottom = 90;
            this.ChartPureAlpha.Legend.SpanPercentage = 15;

            this.ChartPureAlpha.LineChart.TreatDateTimeAsString = false;
            this.ChartPureAlpha.ChartType = ChartType.ScatterChart;
            this.ChartPureAlpha.ScatterChart.ConnectWithLines = true;
            //ChartPureAlpha.SmoothingMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
            this.ChartPureAlpha.Axis.X.Labels.ItemFormatString = "<ITEM_LABEL:dd-MM-yyyy>";
            this.ChartPureAlpha.Axis.X.Labels.SeriesLabels.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Verdana", 25);
            this.ChartPureAlpha.Axis.X.Labels.SeriesLabels.Visible = true;
            this.ChartPureAlpha.Axis.X.Labels.SeriesLabels.OrientationAngle = 315;

            //ChartPureAlpha.Axis.X.TickmarkInterval = 1;
            //ChartPureAlpha.Axis.X.TickmarkIntervalType = AxisIntervalType.Days;
            //ChartPureAlpha.Axis.X.TickmarkStyle = AxisTickStyle.DataInterval;
            // axis label
            //ChartPureAlpha.TitleBottom.Text = "Date";
            //ChartPureAlpha.TitleBottom.HorizontalAlign = StringAlignment.Center;
            //ChartPureAlpha.TitleLeft.Text = "Raw Alpha)";
            //ChartPureAlpha.TitleLeft.HorizontalAlign = StringAlignment.Center;


            // Create and add series
            ChartPureAlpha.Series.Add(dowjones);

I want to know how to :

- reduce marker size
- have the whole date (not truncated)
- change the label font

Thanks for your help

I have a message written in red when the ultrachart is empty saying : "To create a composite chart: add a ChartArea ........ from the chartlayer" how i can remove that ?

I suppose that you are talking about the message before press the button "Load" from the sample. Maybe the easiest way to remove the message is to supply the UltraChart with appropriate DataSet

-I need to reduce the legend size
The legend from the screenshot is by default . You could modify the legend using the code below:

CompositeLegend myLegend = new CompositeLegend();

myLegend.PE.Fill = Color.Red;

myLegend.ChartLayers.Add(myColumnLayer);

myLegend.Bounds = new Rectangle(0, 85, 15, 15);

myLegend.BoundsMeasureType = MeasureType.Percentage;

myLegend.PE.ElementType = PaintElementType.Gradient;

myLegend.PE.FillGradientStyle = GradientStyle.ForwardDiagonal;

myLegend.PE.Fill = Color.CornflowerBlue;

myLegend.PE.FillStopColor = Color.Transparent;

myLegend.Border.CornerRadius = 10;

myLegend.Border.Thickness = 1;

this.ultraChart1.CompositeChart.Legends.Add(myLegend);

the X axis looks strange

I suupose that there are not enough space for the labels. Maybe one possible solution could be if you rotate the labels using the properties:

axisX.Labels.Orientation = TextOrientation.VerticalLeftFacing;

axisX.Labels.VerticalAlign = StringAlignment.Far;

I cannot label Y axis
In your screenshot I see the Y axis lables. Could you please tell me what is exactly the issue.

Thanks a lot for your reply ,

I still have 2 issues :

-I have a message written in red when the ultrachart is empty saying : "To create a composite chart: add a ChartArea ........ from the chartlayer" how i can remove that ?

- Now my plot look like this :

It is not as nice as I would like :

-I need to reduce the legend size

-the X axis looks strange and I cannot label Y axis

I would be more then happy if you have ideas.

Thanks

reduce marker size

Maybe one possible approach to achieve this behavior could be:

LineAppearance la = new LineAppearance(ultraChart1);

la.IconAppearance.Icon = SymbolIcon.Circle;

la.IconAppearance.IconSize = SymbolIconSize.Large;

la.LineStyle.EndStyle = LineCapStyle.DiamondAnchor;

LineChartAppearance dd = new LineChartAppearance();

dd.LineAppearances.Add(la);

myColumnLayer.ChartTypeAppearance = dd;

Maybe you could use the property Extend of your Axis. Please take a look at the attached sample for more details.

change the label font

You could try to change it using the code

myColumnLayer.AxisY.Labels.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Ariel", 10);

myColumnLayer.AxisY.Labels.FontColor = Color.Red;

Please take a look at the attached sample for more details. Please let me know if you have any questions.
