The ActiveReports Chart control can draw a number of XY chart types:

• Bubble, Bubble XY 
• Line XY
• Plot XY 

See below for details on each of the XY chart types.

Bubble Chart

The Bubble chart is an XY chart in which bubbles represent data points. The first Y value is used to plot the bubble along the Y axis, and the second Y value is used to set the size of the bubble. The bubble shape can be changed using the series Shape property.

Chart Information

Below is an example of setting the custom chart properties at run time for a bubble chart as shown in the image above.

To write the code in Visual Basic.NET

Me.ChartControl1.Series(0).Properties("MaxSizeFactor") = 0.25F
Me.ChartControl1.Series(0).Properties("MaxValue") = 55.0R
Me.ChartControl1.Series(0).Properties("MinValue") = 5.0R
Me.ChartControl1.Series(0).Properties("Shape") = MarkerStyle.Circle

To write the code in C#

this.chartControl1.Series[0].Properties["MaxSizeFactor"] = .25f;
this.chartControl1.Series[0].Properties["MaxValue"] = 55D;
this.chartControl1.Series[0].Properties["MinValue"] = 5D;
this.chartControl1.Series[0].Properties["Shape"] = MarkerStyle.Circle;

Bubble XY Chart

The Bubble XY chart is an XY chart in which bubbles represent data points. The BubbleXY uses a numerical X axis and plots the x values and first set of Y values on the chart. The second Y value is used to set the size of the bubble.

Chart Information

Below is an example of setting the custom chart properties at run time for a bubble XY chart as shown in the image above.

To write the code in Visual Basic.NET

Me.ChartControl1.Series(0).Properties("MaxSizeFactor") = 0.25F
Me.ChartControl1.Series(0).Properties("MaxValue") = 50.0R
Me.ChartControl1.Series(0).Properties("MinValue") = 0.0R
Me.ChartControl1.Series(0).Properties("Shape") = MarkerStyle.InvTriangle

To write the code in C#

this.chartControl1.Series[0].Properties["MaxSizeFactor"] = .25f;
this.chartControl1.Series[0].Properties["MinValue"] = 0D;
this.chartControl1.Series[0].Properties["MaxValue"] = 50D;
this.chartControl1.Series[0].Properties["Shape"] = MarkerStyle.InvTriangle;

Line XY Chart

A line XY chart plots points on the X and Y axes as one series and uses a line to connect points to each other.

Chart Information

Plot XY Chart

A plot XY chart shows the relationships between numeric values in two or more series sets of XY values.
