Chart Animation | ASP.NET MVC Controls

Chart Animation

In This Topic

The ShowAnimation property allows chart animation while loading and updating it. The animation can be configured by the user through several properties that include duration, easing function, and animation mode.

MVC FlexChart animation

The following code example demonstrates how to enable Chart Animation using several properties such as duration, easing, and animation mode. This example uses the Fruit class available in the MVCExplorer product sample at "Documents\ComponentOne Samples\ASP.NET MVC\vx.x.x\MVC\CS\MvcExplorer\Models" location on your system.

Controller Code

Include the following reference in the code:
using <ApplicationName>.Models;

Add the following code:

C#	Copy Code
public ActionResult Index() { return View(Fruit.GetFruitsSales()); }

View Code

Razor	Copy Code
@using <ApplicationName>.Models @model IEnumerable<Fruit> @(Html.C1().FlexChart() .Bind(Model) .ChartType(C1.Web.Mvc.Chart.ChartType.Column) .BindingX("Name") .Series(sers => { sers.Add().Binding("MarPrice").Name("March"); sers.Add().Binding("AprPrice").Name("April"); sers.Add().Binding("MayPrice").Name("May"); }) .ShowAnimation(ca => ca.AnimationMode(AnimationMode.All).AxisAnimation(true).Duration(1000).Easing(Easing.Linear)) )

Razor

Copy Code

@using <ApplicationName>.Models
@model IEnumerable<Fruit>
@(Html.C1().FlexChart()
.Bind(Model)
.ChartType(C1.Web.Mvc.Chart.ChartType.Column)
.BindingX("Name")
.Series(sers =>
{
    sers.Add().Binding("MarPrice").Name("March");
    sers.Add().Binding("AprPrice").Name("April");
    sers.Add().Binding("MayPrice").Name("May");
})
.ShowAnimation(ca => ca.AnimationMode(AnimationMode.All).AxisAnimation(true).Duration(1000).Easing(Easing.Linear))
)

Chart Animation Properties

You can make use of the following properties to enable animation in your charts.

Name	Type	Description
AnimationMode	Animation Mode	Gets or sets whether the plot points animate one at a time, series by series, or all at once. The whole animation is still completed within the duration.
Axis Animation	Boolean	Gets or sets a value indicating whether animation is applied to the axis.
Duration	Integer	Gets or sets the length of entire animation in milliseconds.
Easing	Easing	Gets or sets the easing function applied to the animation.

AnimationMode Enumeration

You can use the AnimationMode to apply the animation to the Points, Series or both.

Name	Description
All	All points and series are animated at once.
Point	Animation is performed point by point. Multiple series are animated simultaneously at the same time.
Series	Animation is performed series by series. Entire series is animated at once, following the same animation as the "All" option, but just one series at a time.
