Get XValue in Categorial Chart

[Ramya]

Hi,
I am using markedZone to show annotations. I have to add an image as annotation so i have used ImageBrush to fill the marked Zone. It works fine when my chart has both XValues and YValues. My problem is that when i have a categorial chart I am not able to mark the zone. I am using  ((Telerik.Windows.Controls.ChartingChartArea)(sender)).AxisX.ConvertPhysicalUnitsToData(e.MouseData.GetPosition(this).X) to get the datapoints. But this is not always giving me the points with correct precision.
How can i get the correct point.

Is there any workaround???

Hello Ramya,

The categories are indexed, which means that you can use 0,1,2, etc. for XValue to position your marked zones.

Hello Sia,
Sorry that was a stupid question...:)
I wanted to ask you one more question.
Currently I am using this to add the markedZone. However I am not able to see a marked zone in Pie Chart. Is there a way to add a marked zone in Pie?

MarkedZone tempZone = new MarkedZone();
               tempZone.StartY = e.DataPoint.YValue;
               tempZone.EndY = e.DataPoint.YValue+((Axis)(((((ChartArea)(sender)))).AxisY)).ActualStep;
               tempZone.StartX =  e.DataPoint.XValue;
               tempZone.EndX = e.DataPoint.XValue++((Axis)(((((ChartArea)(sender)))).AxisY)).ActualStep;

Hi Ramya,

I am happy to hear that you managed to find a solution by yourself.

Unfortunately the marked zones are available only when having axes. In the pie chart they are missing so the marked zones cannot be drawn there.

If you have more questions, do not hesitate to contact us again.

Kind regards,

Hello Ramya,

Can you please send us a design of what you need? What do you need to show/measure with such marked zone when having a pie?

Best wishes,

Hi Sia,
I calculated the position using the sweep angle and start angle and added the image at that position. :) I wanted something like the attached file.
Thanks for your time and attention.
