# Showing, Excluding, or Hiding a Series

## Content



Suppose there were hundreds of series that needed to be displayed in the chart. Since the chart can only be so large, the displayed series must be managed. The [Display](/componentone/api/win/online-chart2d/dotnet-framework-api/C1.Win.C1Chart.4.8/C1.Win.C1Chart.ChartDataSeries.Display.html) property of the [ChartDataSeries](/componentone/api/win/online-chart2d/dotnet-framework-api/C1.Win.C1Chart.4.8/C1.Win.C1Chart.ChartDataSeries.html) provides this capability. The Display property accepts a [SeriesDisplayEnum](/componentone/api/win/online-chart2d/dotnet-framework-api/C1.Win.C1Chart.4.8/C1.Win.C1Chart.SeriesDisplayEnum.html) enumerated type. Setting this property to its different values allows a series to show, be hidden, or be excluded:

| **Value** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| **SeriesDisplayEnum.Show** | The series is displayed in the ChartArea. This is the default setting. |
| **SeriesDisplayEnum.Hide** | The series is not displayed in the ChartArea, but the ChartArea (Max and Min) is not altered to account for the lost series. |
| **SeriesDisplayEnum.Exclude** | The series is not displayed in the ChartArea, but the ChartArea is altered to account for the lost series. |
| **SeriesDisplayEnum.ExcludeHoles** | The series is displayed, but the Data Hole values are ignored. |
