Is it possible to draw rectangle using OxyPlot? Something like
:
or does OxyPlot not support this?
Why not just use RectangleAnnotation which is already there?
It provides fill , stroke , click detection , text.
Example :
model.Annotations.Add(new RectangleAnnotation { MinimumX = 20, MaximumX = 70, MinimumY = 10, MaximumY = 40, TextRotation = 10, Text = "RectangleAnnotation", Fill = OxyColor.FromAColor(99, OxyColors.Blue), Stroke = OxyColors.Black, StrokeThickness = 2 });
You can always create your own custom annotations if existing are not good enough.
You can indeed.
There's a couple of ways you can do it. I would prefer to use an annotation as this will also give you a highlighted background and give you the option to add click events on this area. There's probably a way to remove the highlight if you want to make it look like the image you've provided.
var Event = new PolygonAnnotation();
Event.Layer = AnnotationLayer.BelowAxes;
Event.StrokeThickness = 5;
Event.Stroke = OxyColor.FromRgb(0, 0, 255);
Event.LineStyle = LineStyle.Automatic;
Event.Points.Add(new DataPoint(X, Y));
Event.Points.Add(new DataPoint(X, Y));
Event.Points.Add(new DataPoint(X, Y));
Event.Points.Add(new DataPoint(X, Y));
Another more simplistic way is to create a line series and give it the corners of your rectangle.

I'm trying to figure out how to draw a discontinued (non-continous) series. This is the code for the series:
Chart.Series["Limit"].Points.AddXY(20000, 30);
Chart.Series["Limit"].Points.AddXY(1000000, 30);
//no plotting wanted here
Chart.Series["Limit"].Points.AddXY(1500000, 40);
Chart.Series["Limit"].Points.AddXY(2500000, 40);
How do I stop it from plotting certain points, like the diagonal line shown in the image below?
You can visually break up a line chart by inserting an invisible DataPoint:
Chart.Series["Limit"].Points.AddXY(20000, 30);
Chart.Series["Limit"].Points.AddXY(1000000, 30);
//no plotting wanted (from previous point to this one) here
int index = Chart.Series["Limit"].Points.AddXY(1500000, 40);
Chart.Series["Limit"].Points[index].Color = Color.Transparent;
Chart.Series["Limit"].Points.AddXY(2500000, 40);
This makes the line that leads to the DataPoint transparent.
I don't know any way to set different lines parameters for the same Series, but you can create two different lines
Chart.Series["Limit"].Points.AddXY(20000, 30);
Chart.Series["Limit"].Points.AddXY(1000000, 30);
Chart.Series["Limit"].BorderColor = Color.Red
//no plotting wanted here
Chart.Series["Limit2"].Points.AddXY(1500000, 40);
Chart.Series["Limit2"].Points.AddXY(2500000, 40);
Chart.Series["Limit2"].BorderColor = Color.Red
I have a radar chart in chart.js in which I want to draw the labels as rotated. As I could see inthe doc, it is not possible, so I am trying to do it myself using basic drawing in c#. Here is the code I use :
Bitmap objBmpImage = new Bitmap(1000, 1000);
System.Drawing.Font objFont = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 12,
System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
Graphics objGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(objBmpImage);
objGraphics.Clear(Color.Transparent);
float angle = (float)360.0 / (float)competences.Count();
objGraphics.TranslateTransform(500, 450);
objGraphics.RotateTransform(-90 - (angle / 3));
foreach (T_Ref_Competence competence in competences)
{
byte r, g, b;
HexToInt(competence.T_Ref_CompetenceNiveau2.T_Ref_CompetenceNiveau1.Couleur,
out r, out g, out b);
Brush brush = new System.Drawing.SolidBrush(Color.FromArgb(255,r,g,b));
objGraphics.DrawString(competence.Nom,objFont, brush, 255,0);
objGraphics.RotateTransform(angle);
}
string filename = Server.MapPath("..\\TempImage\\") + NomUtilisateur + ".png";
objBmpImage.Save(filename,System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
HexToInt is just a simple function that takes a #FF0000 and convert it to 3 bytes variables (255,0 and 0 for this exemple).
Here is the result so far :
As you can see, I can get something quite nice. However, I have one last request, which I am pretty sure is possible, but I'm not certain how.
How can I rotate the text 180 degrees for label on the left section ? In this exemple, from "Organisation" to "Vérification qualité et inspection". Mind you, I know how to decide which one I have to turn around, I don't know how to do it.
Thanks.
Idea:
Add 180 degrees to the angle.
Now the labels appear on the wrong side but have the right orientation. Move them by the diameter + textLength to the left. You can do so by providing a negative X to the DrawString call. No need for another transformation.
You can calculate the text length with the Graphics.MeasureString Method.
I am trying to use a colored spectrum strip as an axis for a chart. The idea is to match the color on the image with its associated wavelength along the x-axis at the bottom. The strip needs to change in size to match changes of the chart area and expand and contract sections to match scroll-zooming in the chart area.
I have tried using image annotations but as the chart area changes, the annotation dimensions remain fixed. Also, the scroll zooming that focuses in on mouse position obviously has no effect on the annotation.
The approach that came closest was using the image as a background for the chart area. This automatically scaled the image as the chart area changed but scroll-zooming has no effect on the background image. Also, it would be ideal to have the background clear so as to avoid obscuring data plot points. I can edit the image to have a large transparent section and only a colored strip at the bottom but even then, that strip could obscure lower intensity data points.
Spectrum as annotation and background:
Annotation not scaling, background scales well:
Both annotation and background not scaling with zooming:
This is a nice idea.
The simplest way is to draw the image in a Paint event of the Chart, maybe PrePaint.
Let's go to work.. We will use the DrawImage overload that allows us zooming as well as cropping. For this we need two rectangles.
The first challenge is to always get the correct target rectangle.
For this we need to convert the InnerPlotPosition from relative positions to absolute pixels.
These two functions will help:
RectangleF ChartAreaClientRectangle(Chart chart, ChartArea CA)
{
RectangleF CAR = CA.Position.ToRectangleF();
float pw = chart.ClientSize.Width / 100f;
float ph = chart.ClientSize.Height / 100f;
return new RectangleF(pw * CAR.X, ph * CAR.Y, pw * CAR.Width, ph * CAR.Height);
}
RectangleF InnerPlotPositionClientRectangle(Chart chart, ChartArea CA)
{
RectangleF IPP = CA.InnerPlotPosition.ToRectangleF();
RectangleF CArp = ChartAreaClientRectangle(chart, CA);
float pw = CArp.Width / 100f;
float ph = CArp.Height / 100f;
return new RectangleF(CArp.X + pw * IPP.X, CArp.Y + ph * IPP.Y,
pw * IPP.Width, ph * IPP.Height);
}
With these numbers setting the destination rectangle is as simple as:
Rectangle tgtR = Rectangle.Round(new RectangleF(ipr.Left, ipr.Bottom - 15, ipr.Width, 15));
You can chose a height as you like..
The next challenge is the source rectangle.
Without zooming it would simply be:
Rectangle srcR = new Rectangle( 0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height);
But for zooming and panning we need to scale it; for this we can use the x-axis and the ScaleView's Minimum and Maximum values.
We calculate factors for the first and last spot on the axis:
double f1 = ax.ScaleView.ViewMinimum / (ax.Maximum - ax.Minimum);
double f2 = ax.ScaleView.ViewMaximum / (ax.Maximum - ax.Minimum);
now we get the source rectangle maybe like this:
int x = (int)(bmp.Width * f1);
int xx = (int)(bmp.Width * f2);
Rectangle srcR = new Rectangle( x, 0, xx - x, bmp.Height);
Let's put it together:
private void chart_PrePaint(object sender, ChartPaintEventArgs e)
{
// a few short names
Graphics g = e.ChartGraphics.Graphics;
ChartArea ca = chart.ChartAreas[0];
Axis ax = ca.AxisX;
// pixels of plot area
RectangleF ipr = InnerPlotPositionClientRectangle(chart, ca);
// scaled first and last position
double f1 = ax.ScaleView.ViewMinimum / (ax.Maximum - ax.Minimum);
double f2 = ax.ScaleView.ViewMaximum / (ax.Maximum - ax.Minimum);
// actual drawing with the zooming overload
using (Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap)Bitmap.FromFile(imagePath))
{
int x = (int)(bmp.Width * f1);
int xx = (int)(bmp.Width * f2);
Rectangle srcR = new Rectangle( x, 0, xx - x, bmp.Height);
Rectangle tgtR = Rectangle.Round(
new RectangleF(ipr.Left , ipr.Bottom - 15, ipr.Width, 15));
g.DrawImage(bmp, tgtR, srcR, GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
}
}
A few notes:
Of course I would recomend to use an Image resource instead of always loading from disk!
The Drawing will always overlay the data points and also the grids. You can either..
choose a different minimum to make room
make the image smaller
move it below the x-axis labels
make the image semi-transparent
make the x-axis so fat that it can hold the image strip : ax.LineWidth = 10
For the latter solution you would want to offset the y-position depending on the zoom state. Quick and dirty: int yoff = (ax.ScaleView.IsZoomed ? 12 : 5);. To avoid black stripes also make the axis Transparent or chart.BackColor..
Update:
You can also revert to using a StripLine. It can scale its BackgroundImage and you would have to create a suitable image whenever changing the scaleview, i.e. when zooming or panning. For this much of the above code would be used to create the new images. See this post for examples of adding and replacing varying NamedImage to a Chart! (The relevant portion is close to the end about the marker images!)
In fact I found that way to be the best solution and have added a second answer.
Alternative and recommended solution:
I dabbled with the last option I mentioned in my other answer and found it to be rather nice; it is similarily extensive, so I decided to post a second answer.
The idea is to use a StripLine with just the right BackgroundImage.
The advantage is that is will display nicely under all chart elements and never draw over the axis, grid, datapoints or conflict with the zoom tools.
Since the StripLine must be updated repeatedly I put it in a function:
Here is the function; it makes use of the same two helper functions to calculate pixel positions as the other answer does..:
void updateStripLine(Chart chart, ChartArea ca, string name)
{
// find our stripline; one could pass in a class level variable as well
StripLine sl = ca.AxisY.StripLines.Cast<StripLine>()
.Where(s => s.Tag.ToString() == name).FirstOrDefault();
if (sl != null) // either clean-up the resources..
{
var oldni = chart.Images.FindByName(name);
if (oldni != null)
{
oldni.Image.Dispose();
chart.Images.Remove(oldni);
oldni.Dispose();
}
}
else // or, create the line
{
sl = new StripLine();
sl.Tag = name;
ca.AxisY.StripLines.Add(sl);
}
ca.RecalculateAxesScale();
RectangleF ipr = InnerPlotPositionClientRectangle(chart, ca);
Axis ax = ca.AxisX;
Axis ay = ca.AxisY;
double f1 = ax.ScaleView.ViewMinimum / (ax.Maximum - ax.Minimum);
double f2 = ax.ScaleView.ViewMaximum / (ax.Maximum - ax.Minimum);
Bitmap b0 = (Bitmap)chart.Images["spectrum"].Image;
int x = (int)(b0.Width * f1);
int xx = (int)(b0.Width * f2);
Rectangle srcR = new Rectangle( x, 0, xx - x, b0.Height);
Rectangle tgtR = Rectangle.Round(new RectangleF(0,0, ipr.Width , 10));
// create bitmap and namedImage:
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap( tgtR.Width, tgtR.Height);
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp))
{ g.DrawImage(b0, tgtR, srcR, GraphicsUnit.Pixel); }
NamedImage ni = new NamedImage(name, bmp);
chart.Images.Add(ni);
sl.BackImageWrapMode = ChartImageWrapMode.Scaled;
sl.StripWidth = ay.PixelPositionToValue(0) - ay.PixelPositionToValue(12);
sl.Interval = 100; // make large enough to avoid another sLine showing up
sl.IntervalOffset = 0;
sl.BackImage = name;
}
Much of the comments and links apply, especially wrt to the NamedImage we use for the StripLine.
A few more notes:
I use one of the (four) axis conversion functions, PixelPositionToValue to calculate a pixel height of 12px; the StripLine takes values, so I use two pixel values to get the right difference value.
To identify the StripLine I use the Tag property. Of course the Name property would be much more natural, but it is read-only. No idea why?!
The function is called from the AxisViewChanged, the Resize event and also the the PrePaint event; this makes sure it will always be called when needed. To avoid invalid calls from the PrePaint there I do it like this: if (ay.StripLines.Count == 0) updateStripLine(chart, ca, "sl"); Of course you should adapt if you use other StripLines on this axis..
The code makes use of the same image as before; but I have put it into a first NamedImage called spectrum. This would be an option in the 1st answer as well.
NamedImage spectrum = new NamedImage("spectrum", Bitmap.FromFile(imagePath);
chart.Images.Add(spectrum);
It also makes sure to dispose of the old images properly, I hope..
I have a question. I want to draw separated points in plotter from List of point. (point to point drawing). I am working with Dymanic Data Display (D3) C#. Actually I drew it, but points are connected to a line, It's not the thing which I want to see. I did it like this:
calculator.CalculateSequence();
var xCoord = new EnumerableDataSource<double>(calculator.XCoordinates);
var yCoord = new EnumerableDataSource<double>(calculator.YCoordinates);
xCoord.SetXMapping(x => x);
yCoord.SetYMapping(y => y);
CompositeDataSource plotterPoints = new CompositeDataSource(xCoord, yCoord);
plotter.AddLineGraph(plotterPoints);
Thank you for your answers.
This is the solution of my problem. For pointwise drawing do this
plotter.AddLineGraph(p_plotterPoints,
new Pen(Brushes.White, 0),
new CirclePointMarker { Size = 2.0, Fill = Brushes.Black },
new PenDescription("U.S. cities"));
The Christmas is coming and I got idea to send electricity card (little program). Something like dropping snow would be fine. But it is little bit boring something nice extra effects would be nice. Then I find this little flash example.
http://wonderfl.net/code/71344f9a655053d9f793a32c68f00921c67f1977
But I don’t have idea how to convert theses lines (47-49) to C#.
this._forceMap = new BitmapData(465, 465, false, 0x0);
this._forceMap.draw(tf, tf.transform.matrix);
this._forceMap.applyFilter(this._forceMap,
this._forceMap.rect,
new Point(0, 0),
new BlurFilter(8, 8));
If the value of autosize is "left" and the text field line type is set to Multiline in the text Property inspector, then the text field expands or contracts its right and bottom sides to fit all contained text.
tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
tf.text = 'Wonderfl!!';
tf.x = (465 - tf.width) / 2; // tf.width = textfield.width
tf.y = (465 - tf.height) / 2; // tf.height = textfield.height
x = paddingleft
y = paddingtop
