GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Chart.SharpGraphCore

SharpGraphCore Class

The platform-independent implementation of the charting model. It owns the chart's content (titles, series, areas, legends), bridges that content to the rendering engine, and provides persistence, data-refresh and lifetime management. UI hosts wrap an instance of this class to expose a chart as a control.

Constructors

Name	Description
SharpGraphCore()	Initializes new instance of the SharpGraph control

Properties

Name	Description
AreaCustomBorderDrawer	Gets or sets custom border drawer object for chart areas
AutoRefresh	If true chart will be automatically refreshed(redrawn) on each property change
Backdrop	Main chart's backdrop, spans all chart control area
Border	Main chart's border, spans all chart control area
ChartAreas	Chart Areas
ChartCustomBorderDrawer	Gets or sets custom border drawer object for entire control
ColorPalette	Global color palette. May be overrided on series level
DataSource	Global graph's data source
DeviceMode	Gets or sets graphics device specific options
GridLayout	Chart Areas Columns
IsDesignMode	Gets or sets a value indicating whether this instance is design mode.
IsDirty	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the chart has unsaved changes. The chart becomes dirty when any of its elements change and is cleared once the chart is saved.
Legends	Gets control's Legend object
Series	Where chart gets it's data to display
SqlDbFactory	The sql data provider factory. Used to recreate the connection with a given credentials.
Titles	Gets control's Titles collection
UIOptions	Enables specific UI features

Methods

Name	Description
BeginInit()	Signals the object that initialization is starting.
Dispose()	Releases all resources held by the chart, clearing registered components and cached credentials. Call this when the chart is no longer needed.
Dispose(bool)	Releases the unmanaged resources used by the Component and optionally releases the managed resources.
DrawContent(Canvas, Rectangle)	DrawContent is provided primary for usage with ARNet2. However, by providing this function, it also allows some other usages to non-display canvases. OnPaint now calls this.
EndInit()	Signals the object that initialization is complete.
FixReferences()	Fixes the references between chart object. This method is used when chart is partially deserialized.
GetCultureInfo()	Returns the culture used to format and parse the chart's text, numbers and dates. If a culture provider has been set with SetCultureProvider(Func<CultureInfo>), its result is used; otherwise the current thread culture is returned.
Invalidate()	Requests that the chart be repainted by raising the dirty-state notification to any listening host.
QuickLoad(BinaryReader)	Deserialize the data from XMl format.
QuickSave(BinaryWriter)	Serialize this object to binary writer in XML format.
ReadXml(XmlElement)	Reads the XML.
RefreshData()	Clears internal caches, so that chart will load all that data when it will be drawn next time
ResetContent()	Restores the chart to its initial empty state, replacing all content (titles, series, areas, legends) with new empty collections and resetting global appearance and behavior options to their defaults.
SetCultureProvider(Func<CultureInfo>)	Sets the culture provider.
SetDirty(bool)	Marks the chart as modified, raising GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Chart.SharpGraphCore.SetDirtyFired so the host can refresh and track the change.
SetTooltipText(string)	Sets the tooltip text for the chart as a whole. This core implementation performs no action; UI hosts override the behavior to display the tooltip.
TransferToCore(object)	Pushes the current chart definition into a rendering engine so it can be drawn.
WriteXml(XmlElement)	Writes the XML.
