I want to add a border to a cartesianchart in LiveCharts for a c# winforms project
I've tried some extensive searching and examples on github but no hints.
There is a BorderBrush & BorderThickness in Base, but don't know how to set:
cartesianchart1.Base.BorderBrush
Current workaround is using the code below to draw a line and the min and max of both X & Y axis.
Sections = new SectionsCollection
{
new AxisSection
{
Value = 0.25,
StrokeThickness = 1,
Stroke = new System.Windows.Media.SolidColorBrush(System.Windows.Media.Color.FromRgb(0, 0, 0))
},
}

Is it possible to place crosshair label in the custom position? I have x and y crosshair. I want that y crosshair label was positioned near the data point (change label offset X coordinate).
The problem is that RectangleAnchor has no such option
Crosshair yCrosshair = new Crosshair(Double.NaN, Color.DARK_GRAY, new BasicStroke(0f));
yCrosshair.setLabelAnchor(RectangleAnchor.CENTER);
And it seems that JFreeChart completely ignores label offset settings:
Crosshair yCrosshair = new Crosshair(Double.NaN, Color.DARK_GRAY, new BasicStroke(0f));
yCrosshair.setLabelXOffset(5);
I have the desired plot coordinates for the label in the mouse listener but I can't find how to apply it to the label position.
Ok I've solved my problem by using XYPointerAnnotation.
XYPointerAnnotation pointer = new XYPointerAnnotation( "", 0, 0, 7.0 * Math.PI / 4.0 );
pointer.setTipRadius(3.0);
pointer.setBaseRadius(15.0);
pointer.setPaint(Color.blue);
pointer.setTextAnchor(TextAnchor.HALF_ASCENT_LEFT);
pointer.setBackgroundPaint(new Color(180, 180, 180, 180));
And on mouse move event I've position the annotation to the desired point
mainPlot.removeAnnotation(pointer);
if ( !sY.isNaN() ) {
pointer.setX(x);
pointer.setY(sY);
pointer.setText("POWER: "+ sY);
mainPlot.addAnnotation(pointer);
}
I want to add some text on a canvas and decided to use textBlock for that (to set Font etc.)
But I cannot figure out how to rotate it.
I use the following function to add myText on myCanvas:
void text(double x_pos, double y_pos, string myText, double angle, Point rot_cen, Color color1)
{
TextBlock textBlock = new TextBlock()
{
Text = myText,
FontFamily = new FontFamily("Verdana"),
FontSize = 16,
TextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center
};
textBlock.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(color1);
Canvas.SetLeft(textBlock, x_pos);
Canvas.SetTop(textBlock, y_pos);
textBlock.RenderTransform = new RotateTransform(angle, rot_cen.X, rot_cen.Y);
myCanvas.Children.Add(textBlock);
}
From what I've read rot_cen is a point from (0,0) - which is top left corner to (1,1) - which is bottom right corner. But when i set it to be (0.5,0.5) it still rotates around top left corner. Do I need to update it somehow?
The CenterX and CenterY properties of a RotateTransform use absolute coordinates.
You may want to set RenderTransformOrigin, which uses relative coordinates:
textBlock.RenderTransformOrigin = rot_cen;
textBlock.RenderTransform = new RotateTransform(angle);
Im working on flowchart kind of application in asp.net using silverlight.. Im a beginner in Silvelight, Creating the elements (Rectangle,Ellipse,Line.. ) dynamically using SHAPE and LINE Objects in codebehind (c#)
These shapes will be generated dynamically, meaning I'll be calling a Web service on the backend to determine how many objects/shapes need to be created. Once this is determined, I'll need to have the objects/shapes connected together.
how to connect dynamically created shapes with a line in Silverlight like a flowchart.
I read the below article, but its not working for me, actualHeight & actualWidth of shapes values are 0.
Connecting two shapes together, Silverlight 2
here is my MainPage.xaml
<UserControl x:Class="LightTest1.MainPage">
<Canvas x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
<Canvas x:Name="MyCanvas" Background="Red"></Canvas>
<Button x:Name="btnPush" Content="AddRectangle" Height="20" Width="80" Margin="12,268,348,12" Click="btnPush_Click"></Button>
</Canvas>
code behind MainPage.xaml.cs
StackPanel sp1 = new StackPanel();
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
sp1.Orientation = Orientation.Vertical;
MyCanvas.Children.Add(sp1);
}
Rectangle rect1;
Rectangle rect2;
Line line1;
private void btnPush_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
rect1 = new Rectangle()
{
Height = 30,
Width = 30,
StrokeThickness = 3,
Stroke = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red),
};
sp1.Children.Add(rect1);
rect2 = new Rectangle()
{
Height = 30,
Width = 30,
StrokeThickness = 3,
Stroke = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red),
};
sp1.Children.Add(rect2);
connectShapes(rect1, rect2);
}
private void connectShapes(Shape s1, Shape s2)
{
var transform1 = s1.TransformToVisual(s1.Parent as UIElement);
var transform2 = s2.TransformToVisual(s2.Parent as UIElement);
var lineGeometry = new LineGeometry()
{
StartPoint = transform1.Transform(new Point(1, s1.ActualHeight / 2.0)),
EndPoint = transform2.Transform(new Point(s2.ActualWidth, s2.ActualHeight / 2.0))
};
var path = new Path()
{
Data = lineGeometry,
Stroke = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Green),
};
sp1.Children.Add(path);
}
what I am doing in button click event is just adding two rectangle shapes and tring to connect them with a line (like flowchart).
Please suggest what is wrong in my code..
Try replacing the line
connectShapes(rect1, rect2);
with
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() => connectShapes(rect1, rect2));
I'm not sure of the exact reason why this works, but I believe the shapes are only rendered once control passes out of your code, and only once they are rendered do the ActualWidth and ActualHeight properties have a useful value. Calling Dispatcher.BeginInvoke calls your code a short time later; in fact, you may notice the lines being drawn slightly after the rectangles.
The TransformToVisual method behaves in much the same way as the ActualWidth and ActualHeight properties. It will return an identity transformation if the shape hasn't been rendered. Even if your lines were being drawn with a definite width and height, they would end up being drawn all on top of one another at the top-left.
I also found that I needed to add the lines to the Canvas, not the StackPanel, in order for them to be drawn over the rectangles. Otherwise the StackPanel quickly filled up with lines with a lot of space above them.
I have set a Grid's background brush as an ImageBrush.
But when I set the Grid's FlowDirection to RightToLeft, the image is flipped horizontically.
Is it possible to (un)flip the grid background ImageBrush using a certain Transition or any other way?
Not much you can do about that with sensible means (there same means that are far from sensible).
Instead place an Image element as the first item in the Grid with Grid.RowSpan, Grid.ColumnSpan to cover all the cells. Use Stretch="Fill" on the Image since thats how a background typically behaves.
Well, i do understand that my comment is outdated, but this question is popping up one of the first in Google search, so here is my solution:
I was localizing the application for the right-to-left culture. The simple decision to set FlowDirection=RTL comes with unexpected drawbacks like the background containing the company logo is flipped. I have applied the matrix transformation for the image brush used to render the background:
var mbgBrush = TryFindResource("MainBackground") as Brush;
if (mbgBrush == null) return null;
if (FlowDirection == FlowDirection.LeftToRight) return mbgBrush;
var mainBgImageBrush = mbgBrush as ImageBrush;
if (mainBgImageBrush == null) return mbgBrush;
var flipXaxis = new MatrixTransform(-1.0, 0, 0, 1.0, 1, 0);
var flippedBrush = new ImageBrush
{
Stretch = Stretch.None,
Opacity = 1.0,
ImageSource = mainBgImageBrush.ImageSource,
RelativeTransform = flipXaxis
};
return flippedBrush;
I have the need for drawing in the same drawing with lines of different color, thickness etc.
I can create two instances of PathGeometry, but I can't set color on them.
I can create two instances of Path, but can't get them displayed in my control.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any comments!
Anders, Denmark.
Code below only displays "collection" in my control, but I thought it could be a starting point for answers...
var pathFigure1 = new PathFigure(new Point(0, 0),
new List<PathSegment> {new LineSegment(new Point(10, 10), true)}, false);
var pathFigure2 = new PathFigure(new Point(20, 20),
new List<PathSegment> {new LineSegment(new Point(30, 30), true)}, false);
var g1 = new PathGeometry(new List<PathFigure> {pathFigure1});
var g2 = new PathGeometry(new List<PathFigure> {pathFigure2});
var p1 = new System.Windows.Shapes.Path
{
Data = g1,
Stroke = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromRgb(0, 0, 0))
};
var p2 = new System.Windows.Shapes.Path
{
Data = g2,
Stroke = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromRgb(170, 87, 170))
};
var content = new Canvas();
content.Children.Add(p1);
content.Children.Add(p2);
Content = content;
You have started on the right approach, a geometry defines a 'shape', so don;t worry that you cannot set its colour. A Path turns the geometry into a visual representation on the screen, so here you can set the color and stroke thickness.
Your problem is at the very last step, you are setting the content property of your control. Typically this property is used to associate some data object with a control, you then supply a template which is its visual representation.
What you need to do is add your paths as children of a panel.
For example, add a Canvas, or a Grid to your control. Then add your two paths to the Grid / Canvas via their Children collection property.
