Once the series have been displayed in the chart, you can customize the displayed series to manage the same more efficiently.

FlexChart allows you to customize series by showing or hiding a series either in the Plot Area or the Legend or both. If there are hundreds of series to be displayed in your chart, you would certainly need to manage the same due to the space limitation of the chart.

In FlexChart, you can manage series by using the Visibility property of a series. The Visibility property accepts values of the SeriesVisibility enumerated type.

You can set the property to the following different values to show or hide a series:

Here's the code snippet for reference:

' name the series
series1.Name = "Unit Price"
series2.Name = "Units In Stock"
series3.Name = "Units On Order"

' to hide Units On Order
series3.Visibility = C1.Chart.SeriesVisibility.Hidden

// name the series
series1.Name = "Unit Price";
series2.Name = "Units In Stock";
series3.Name = "Units On Order";

// to hide Units On Order
series3.Visibility = C1.Chart.SeriesVisibility.Hidden;

If you want to show the series (Units On Order) in the Plot Area, but at the same not display it in the Legend, you can use the Visibility property in the following manner:

' name the series
series1.Name = "Unit Price"
series2.Name = "Units In Stock"
series3.Name = "Units On Order"

' to show Units On Order in the Plot but not in the Legend
series3.Visibility = C1.Chart.SeriesVisibility.Plot

// name the series
series1.Name = "Unit Price";
series2.Name = "Units In Stock";
series3.Name = "Units On Order";

// to show Units On Order in the Plot but not in the Legend
series3.Visibility = C1.Chart.SeriesVisibility.Plot;

Similarly, for displaying the series in the Legend, but not in the Plot Area, you can set the Visibility property as follows:

' name the series
series1.Name = "Unit Price"
series2.Name = "Units In Stock"
series3.Name = "Units On Order"

' to show Units On Order in the Legend but not in the Plot
series3.Visibility = C1.Chart.SeriesVisibility.Legend

// name the series
series1.Name = "Unit Price";
series2.Name = "Units In Stock";
series3.Name = "Units On Order";

// to show Units On Order in the Legend but not in the Plot
series3.Visibility = C1.Chart.SeriesVisibility.Legend;

In addition, you can enhance the visual appeal of the series by setting different palettes for FlexChart. For more details, refer to Setting FlexChart Palette.

You can also work with different symbol styles to render visually appealing series in the chart. For more information, refer to Symbol styles for Series.
