The UseZValues property of the NXYZScatterSeries object controls whether the series will use the custom Z positions or use the default ones (equal to the data point index e.g. 0, 1, 2 ... n). By default this property is set to false. The following code will enable the custom Z positions of the data points:
| C# |
Copy Code
|
|---|---|
series.UseZValues = true;
|
|
| Visual Basic |
Copy Code
|
|---|---|
series.UseZValues = True
|
|
The NXYZScatterSeries class extends the formatting commands set inherited from the NXYScatterSeries base class with the following formatting commands:
<zvalue> - the current data point Z value (extracted from the ZValues data series)
The Z values affect the scale of the Z axis. All series are scaled on the Z axis, which by default operates in Ordinal scale mode. If you display XYZ scatter charts it is recommended that you change the scaling mode to Numeric, DateTime or Logarithmic. The following code demonstrates how to do this:
| C# |
Copy Code
|
|---|---|
NChart chart = chartControl.Charts[0];
chart.Axis(StandardAxis.Depth).ScaleConfigurator = new NLinearScaleConfigurator();
|
|
| Visual Basic |
Copy Code
|
|---|---|
Dim chart As NChart = chartControl.Charts(0) chart.Axis(StandardAxis.Depth).ScaleConfigurator = New NLinearScaleConfigurator |
|
