3D Charts

How do I reposition the camera on a 3dview for a pie chart by code?

I have used a number of WPF chart controls from all your competitors and your control seems to be the best by far. Looking forward to the final release.

Thanks

To change the camera angle you would use the View3D AngleX and AngleY properties. e.g.

chart1.View3D.AngleX = 45;

Note that we expose AngleX and AngleY and then calculate other camera settings to make sure as much of the scene is visible as possible. You can also create a binding, e.g. to control the angle with a slider

<

Slider Minimum="-90" Maximum="180" Width="120" Value="{Binding ElementName=chart1, Path=View3D.AngleX}" />

Also note that View3D exposes a double property called Perspective, 0 means we use an OrthoGraphicCamera and any number between 15 and 90 will be used as the field of view of a PerspectiveCamera

>> and your control seems to be the best by far. Looking forward to the final release

We think once our designers prepare the different styles that will ship with the product you will be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks AngleX and AngleY are working great. However Perspective property in View3D seems to be a bool and not a double. Also the depth property does not have any effect when changing it. I need to be able to zoom in to the chart.

Our new builds declare this property as double instead of bool. We do not support manual transformations to the camera so I am afraid the only zooming available would be to set the chart.Zoom.Mode to ZoomMode.Magnifier.
