How to change the view angle and label value of a chart .NET C#
- by George
Short Description
I am using charts for a specific application where i need to change the view angle of the rendered 3D Pie chart and value of automatic labels from pie label names to corresponding pie values.
This how the chart looks:
Initialization
This is how i initialize it:
Dictionary<string, decimal> secondPersonsWithValues = HistoryModel.getSecondPersonWithValues();
decimal[] yValues = new decimal[secondPersonsWithValues.Values.Count]; //VALUES
string[] xValues = new string[secondPersonsWithValues.Keys.Count]; //LABELS
secondPersonsWithValues.Keys.CopyTo(xValues, 0);
secondPersonsWithValues.Values.CopyTo(yValues, 0);
incomeExpenseChart.Series["Default"].ChartType = System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting.SeriesChartType.Pie;
incomeExpenseChart.Series["Default"].Points.DataBindXY(xValues, yValues);
incomeExpenseChart.ChartAreas["Default"].Area3DStyle.Enable3D = true;
incomeExpenseChart.Series["Default"].CustomProperties = "PieLabelStyle=Outside";
incomeExpenseChart.Legends["Default"].Enabled = true;
incomeExpenseChart.ChartAreas["Default"].Area3DStyle.LightStyle = System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting.LightStyle.Realistic;
incomeExpenseChart.Series["Default"]["PieDrawingStyle"] = "SoftEdge";
Basically i am querying data from database using the HistoryModel.getSecondPersonWithValues(); to get pairs as Dictionary<string, decimal> where key is the person and value is ammount.
Problem #1
What i need is to be able to change the marked labels from person names to the ammounts or add another label of ammounts with the same colors (See Image).
Problem #2
Another problem is that i need to change the view angle of 3D Pie chart. Maybe it's very simple and I just don't know the needed property or maybe i need to override some paint event. Either ways any kind of ways would be appriciated.
Thanks in advance George.
