Highlighting the axis of a serie


User (Legacy)

Hello,

I use multiple y-axis which I assign to multiple series (so one y-axis can

"contain" more than one serie). Now our customers do have some troubles with

identifing which y-axis belongs to which serie (the default highlight method

of an axis isn't sufficient enough for them).

What I want to do is the following: change the color of the y-axis which the

current highligted series belongs to, so that the color of the series

correspond with the (temporary) color of the axis. But I can't find a method

to find the assigned y-axis of the highlighted serie, isn't this possible or

am I missing something?

Best regards, Pieter Boeren

This is possible although I have to admit it is not an scenario we tested or designed for.

ChartFX has a Highlighted event and you will get the series/point being highlighted, note that other elements in the chart could be highlighted, e.g. Constant Lines so you have to make sure ChartFX is actually highlighting a series, also note that when returning to "normal" we do not send the series so you will have to cache the temporary axis object.

// This member will cache the currently highlighted axis

private Axis m_oldAxis;

private void OnHighlighted(object sender, SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Base.HighlightEventArgs e)

{

if ((e.Mode & SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Base.HighlightModes.Series) != 0) {

int seriesIndex = e.Series;

SeriesAttributes series = chart1.Series[seriesIndex];

Axis axis = chart1.Axis[(int) series.YAxis];

if ((e.Mode & SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Base.HighlightModes.On) != 0) {

axis.TextColor = series.Color;

m_oldAxis = axis;

}

} else if (((e.Mode & SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Base.HighlightModes.On) == 0) && (m_oldAxis != null)) {

m_oldAxis.TextColor = Color.Black;

m_oldAxis = null;

}

}

chart1.Highlighted += new SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Base.HighlightEventHandler(OnHighlighted);

We have new features related to highlighting coming on our next version. We hope they will open even more advanced scenarios. Stay tuned.
