Radar Chart

[George]

Hi, I followed your example for creating a basic radar chat as follows:


           RadarAreaSeries radarAreaSeries = new RadarAreaSeries("Sec1");
           radarAreaSeries.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(100, 142, 196, 65);
           radarAreaSeries.BorderColor = Color.FromArgb(100, 142, 196, 65);
           radarAreaSeries.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(3.8d, "Oranges"));
           radarAreaSeries.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(4d, "Bananas"));
           radarAreaSeries.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(1.5d, "Apples"));
           this.EEGChart.Series.Add(radarAreaSeries);

           RadarAreaSeries radarAreaSeries2 = new RadarAreaSeries("Sec2");
           radarAreaSeries2.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(100, 27, 157, 222);
           radarAreaSeries2.BorderColor = Color.FromArgb(100, 27, 157, 222);
           radarAreaSeries2.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(3.1d, "Oranges"));
           radarAreaSeries2.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(1.8d, "Bananas"));
           radarAreaSeries2.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(2.9d, "Apples"));
           this.EEGChart.Series.Add(radarAreaSeries2);

My question is if there exists another way to define the radar chart, by first defining the Categories, say Apple, Oranges etc and then creating the data series for each category. Having fixed the categories it would be much easieer to update data on the chart when values change, say every 1 sec.

Hi George,

Thank you for writing. 

In this case you can bind each series to a list of custom objects. This way you can easily just update the values of the corresponding custom object at runtime. I have implemented a small sample application that demonstrates this approach. Could you please check it and let me know how it fits in your scenario?

I am looking forward to your reply.

Thank you very much, your sample worked fine. I have another issue with the radarchart, I cannot programmatically set the radar area to be of type radarsplineareaseries. This option is available on the property build menu, but the class is absent in the programming interface. Can you please guide me on how to implement this need?

Regards,

Hi George,

Thank you for writing back.

You can add a spline series to the radar as follows:

RadarLineSeries series = new RadarLineSeries();
series.Spline = true;
series.SplineTension = 0.3f;

radChartView1.Series.Add(series);

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.
