Multiple XY series

[User (Legacy)]

I would like to understand the exact rules for multiple series and multple 

Values and XValues sets in a chart. The documentation seems to have some 

examples but no definitive reference.

1. What is the rule for specifying multiple series, each with its own Values 

and XValues arrays?

2. Conversely, what rules does a chart follow if it's haded a list of 

arrays, some marked as Values and some marked as XValues?

Thanks.

You specify how many series you want when you call OpenData or when you pass 

a datasource to the chart.

BY default, upon databinding, Chart FX will use all numeric columns as 

Y-Values, Date columns as X-Values. You can change this behavior by using 

DataSoursettings.DataStyle and/or DataSourceSettings.DataType prior to 

filling the dataset or assigning the DataSource property. These properties 

allow you to tell Chart FX how to use each of the columns (Y-Value, X-Value, 

Label, etc.). Please check the docs. on these properties for details.
