Scatter
Unlike Categorical series, ScatterSeries plots its data upon two numerical axes. Scatter series identify the position of each ScatterDataPoint using two numerical values - XValue and YValue for the horizontal and vertical axes respectively, just like in the typical Cartesian coordinate system. Here is how to create two ScatterSeries and populate them manually:
Initial Setup
ScatterSeries scatterSeries = new ScatterSeries();
scatterSeries.Name = "";
scatterSeries.DataPoints.Add(new ScatterDataPoint(15, 19));
scatterSeries.DataPoints.Add(new ScatterDataPoint(18, 10));
scatterSeries.DataPoints.Add(new ScatterDataPoint(13, 15));
scatterSeries.DataPoints.Add(new ScatterDataPoint(10, 8));
scatterSeries.DataPoints.Add(new ScatterDataPoint(5, 12));
scatterSeries.PointSize = new SizeF(8, 8);
this.radChartView1.Series.Add(scatterSeries);
ScatterSeries scatterSeries2 = new ScatterSeries();
scatterSeries2.Name = "";
scatterSeries2.DataPoints.Add(new ScatterDataPoint(20, 20));
scatterSeries2.DataPoints.Add(new ScatterDataPoint(15, 10));
scatterSeries2.DataPoints.Add(new ScatterDataPoint(7, 6));
scatterSeries2.DataPoints.Add(new ScatterDataPoint(18, 22));
scatterSeries2.DataPoints.Add(new ScatterDataPoint(10, 10));
scatterSeries2.PointSize = new SizeF(8, 8);
scatterSeries.Shape = new RoundRectShape(0);
this.radChartView1.Series.Add(scatterSeries2);
Figure 1: Initial Setup
ScatterSeries have few important properties:
-
PointSize: The property defines the size of the ScatterSeries points.
-
XValueMember: If a DataSource is set, the property determines the name of the field that holds the XValue.
-
YValueMember: If a DataSource is set, the property determines the name of the field that holds the YValue.
-
Shape: To change the shape of a series points use the Shape property of the series
Custom Shape
RoundRectShape shape = new RoundRectShape(0);
scatterSeries2.Shape = shape;
