BoxPlot with extra series marked

[User (Legacy)]

Hi

I have a set of boxplots but I'd like to be able put on "overlay" on them 

showing a number of individual values on top of the boxplot

The image attached gives an example of what I mean (this shows a set of a 

single overlay value for each boxplot, ideally I would like to show a number 

of them). I'd like also to be able to legend the overlay series.

At the moment, all I can do is show a single boxplot but place constant 

lines over it for each overlay point.

This obviously only works for one boxplot, any more and the constant lines 

for one boxplot will run over the other ones.

I hope this is clear

Thanks

Is this a chart generated with Chart FX ? Are you using the Statistical 

Extension ?

No it was not generated using ChartFX. But I am trying to use the Statistics 

Extension to something like this

We do not support additional lines in the Statistical Extensions Box Plot 

because unlike a line chart, the data in the Box Plot is calculated from 

sample data, not plotted directly.

You can achieve a chart similar to the one in the screenshot by using a 

simple bar chart in combination with a line chart. You will, however, need 

to calculate the box-plot values yourself and supply each bar segment with a 

starting (YFrom) and end (Y) value. For example:

chart1.Gallery = Gallery.Bar;

((ChartFX.WinForms.Galleries.Bar) chart1.GalleryAttributes).Overlap = true;

chart1.Data.Series = 5;

chart1.Data.Points = 3;

chart1.Series[0].Gallery = Gallery.Lines;

// First Bar

chart1.Data.Y[0,0] = 20; // Line

chart1.Data.YFrom[1,0] = 10;

chart1.Data.Y[1,0] = 20;

chart1.Data.YFrom[2,0] = 20;

chart1.Data.Y[2,0] = 45;

chart1.Data.YFrom[3,0] = 45;

chart1.Data.Y[3,0] = 55;

chart1.Data.YFrom[4,0] = 55;

chart1.Data.Y[4,0] = 70;

// Second Bar

chart1.Data.Y[0,1] = 80; // Line

chart1.Data.YFrom[1,1] = 10;

chart1.Data.Y[1,1] = 20;

chart1.Data.YFrom[2,1] = 20;

chart1.Data.Y[2,1] = 45;

chart1.Data.YFrom[3,1] = 45;

chart1.Data.Y[3,1] = 55;

chart1.Data.YFrom[4,1] = 55;

chart1.Data.Y[4,1] = 70;

// Third Bar

chart1.Data.Y[0,2] = 50; // Line

chart1.Data.YFrom[1,2] = 10;

chart1.Data.Y[1,2] = 20;

chart1.Data.YFrom[2,2] = 20;

chart1.Data.Y[2,2] = 45;

chart1.Data.YFrom[3,2] = 45;

chart1.Data.Y[3,2] = 55;

chart1.Data.YFrom[4,2] = 55;

chart1.Data.Y[4,2] = 70;

* This sample code is intentionally verbose in order to show how each value 

is interpreted, normally setting the data will be done either using 

DataBinding or a for loop. You can paste this code in the Form_Load of a 

default form with a chart to see the results.

Hi

Many thanks for this

I've tried doing it a few times since I last posted but no luck. I tried pasting into a C# project (I'm a VB coder) but it rejected it - didn't recognise Chart.Data

I didn't recognise much of the code myself. Would it be possible to translate a few of the key lines into VB? I'm thinking of the GalleryAttributes Overlap line as well as a few of the Data YFrom lines. Hopefully this will give me enough clues to get it going in VB

Thanks again

David

Which version of chart FX are you using. This post comes from way back.

Hi I was wondering whether you've had a chance to check this out.

Although I posted it some time ago,it's become a bit urgent now

Thanks
