Binding the Chart Control

A series contains three parts (category, series name, and data). You can bind each part to an instance of the series data field. The entire chart control can not be bound; however, you can use a cell range or a formula to put data in the chart.

Using Code

You can add values to Spread with an array or dataset and then use a cell range to put those values in a chart control. This example uses an array to put data in the control.

Example

C#	Copy Code
private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { object[,] values = { { "lg1", "lg2", "lg3" }, { "tt1", 2.0, 5.0 }, {"tt2",4.0,5.0 } }; fpSpread1.Sheets[0].SetArray(0, 0, values); FarPoint.Win.Spread.Model.CellRange cellRange = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.Model.CellRange(0,0,values.GetLength(0),values.GetLength(1)); fpSpread1.Sheets[0].AddChart(cellRange, typeof(FarPoint.Win.Chart.BarSeries), 400, 400, 0, 0); } private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { FarPoint.Win.Chart.BarSeries series = (FarPoint.Win.Chart.BarSeries)fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Charts[0].Model.PlotAreas[0].Series[0]; FarPoint.Win.Spread.Chart.SeriesDataField data = (FarPoint.Win.Spread.Chart.SeriesDataField)series.Values.DataSource; data.Formula = "Sheet1!$B$2:$E$1"; }

Copy Code

private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
object[,] values = { { "lg1", "lg2", "lg3" }, { "tt1", 2.0, 5.0 }, {"tt2",4.0,5.0 } };
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].SetArray(0, 0, values);
FarPoint.Win.Spread.Model.CellRange cellRange = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.Model.CellRange(0,0,values.GetLength(0),values.GetLength(1));
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].AddChart(cellRange, typeof(FarPoint.Win.Chart.BarSeries), 400, 400, 0, 0);
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
FarPoint.Win.Chart.BarSeries series = (FarPoint.Win.Chart.BarSeries)fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Charts[0].Model.PlotAreas[0].Series[0];
FarPoint.Win.Spread.Chart.SeriesDataField data = (FarPoint.Win.Spread.Chart.SeriesDataField)series.Values.DataSource;
data.Formula = "Sheet1!$B$2:$E$1";
}

End Sub

Using Code

You can add values to Spread with an array or dataset and then use a cell range to put those values in a chart control. This example uses a data table to put data in the control.

Example

C#	Copy Code
DataTable dt = new DataTable("Test"); DataRow dr = default(DataRow); dt.Columns.Add("Series1"); dt.Columns.Add("Series2"); dr = dt.NewRow(); dr[0] = 1; dr[1] = 4; dt.Rows.Add(dr); dr = dt.NewRow(); dr[0] = 2; dr[1] = 5; dr = dt.NewRow(); dt.Rows.Add(dr); dr[0] = 3; dr[1] = 6; dt.Rows.Add(dr); fpSpread1.DataSource = dt; FarPoint.Win.Spread.Model.CellRange cellRange = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.Model.CellRange(0,0,2,2); fpSpread1.Sheets[0].AddChart(cellRange, typeof(FarPoint.Win.Chart.BarSeries), 400,400,0,0);

Copy Code

DataTable dt = new DataTable("Test");
DataRow dr = default(DataRow);
dt.Columns.Add("Series1");
dt.Columns.Add("Series2");

dt.Rows.Add(dr);
dr = dt.NewRow();
dr[0] = 2;
dr[1] = 5;
dr = dt.NewRow();
dt.Rows.Add(dr);
dr[0] = 3;
dr[1] = 6;
dt.Rows.Add(dr);
fpSpread1.DataSource = dt;
FarPoint.Win.Spread.Model.CellRange cellRange = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.Model.CellRange(0,0,2,2);
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].AddChart(cellRange, typeof(FarPoint.Win.Chart.BarSeries), 400,400,0,0);
