Count { get; }Returns the number of ChartDataPoint in this collection.
Item { get; }Returns ChartDataPoint for the specified index.

Methods

NameDescription
ClearFormat()Clears format of all ChartDataPoint in this collection.
CopyFormat(int, int)Copies format from the source data point to the destination data point.
GetEnumerator()Returns an enumerator object.
HasDefaultFormat(int)Gets a flag indicating whether the data point at the specified index has default format.

Examples

Shows how to work with data points on a line chart.

public void ChartDataPoint()
{
    Document doc = new Document();
    DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

    Shape shape = builder.InsertChart(ChartType.Line, 500, 350);
    Chart chart = shape.Chart;

    Assert.AreEqual(3, chart.Series.Count);
    Assert.AreEqual("Series 1", chart.Series[0].Name);
    Assert.AreEqual("Series 2", chart.Series[1].Name);
    Assert.AreEqual("Series 3", chart.Series[2].Name);

    // Emphasize the chart's data points by making them appear as diamond shapes.
    foreach (ChartSeries series in chart.Series)
        ApplyDataPoints(series, 4, MarkerSymbol.Diamond, 15);

    // Smooth out the line that represents the first data series.
    chart.Series[0].Smooth = true;

    // Verify that data points for the first series will not invert their colors if the value is negative.
    using (IEnumerator<ChartDataPoint> enumerator = chart.Series[0].DataPoints.GetEnumerator())
    {
        while (enumerator.MoveNext())
        {
            Assert.False(enumerator.Current.InvertIfNegative);
        }
    }

    // For a cleaner looking graph, we can clear format individually.
    chart.Series[1].DataPoints[2].ClearFormat();

    // We can also strip an entire series of data points at once.
    chart.Series[2].DataPoints.ClearFormat();

    doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "Charts.ChartDataPoint.docx");
}

/// <summary>

private static void ApplyDataPoints(ChartSeries series, int dataPointsCount, MarkerSymbol markerSymbol, int dataPointSize)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < dataPointsCount; i++)
    {
        ChartDataPoint point = series.DataPoints[i];
        point.Marker.Symbol = markerSymbol;
        point.Marker.Size = dataPointSize;

        Assert.AreEqual(i, point.Index);
    }
