    2D Point/Bubble Charts
    In This Topic

    Given below is the list of 2D charts that fall under the Point/Bubble Chart category.

    Bubble Chart

    The Bubble chart is an XY chart in which bubbles represent data points. The first Y value is used to plot the bubble along the Y axis, and the second Y value is used to set the size of the bubble. The bubble shape can be changed using the series Shape property.

    Chart Information
    ChartType Point/Bubble2D
    Number of Y values per data point 2
    Number of Series 1 or more
    Marker Support Series or Data Point. Marker labels use the second Y value as the default value.
    Custom Properties The MaxSizeFactor property gets or sets the maximum size of the bubble radius. Values must be less than or equal to 1. Default is .25.
    The MaxValue property gets or sets the bubble size that is used as the maximum.
    The MinValue property gets or sets the bubble size that is used as the minimum.
    The Shape property gets or sets the shape of the bubbles. Uses or returns a valid MarkerStyle enumeration value.

    Below is an example of setting the custom chart properties at run time for a bubble chart as shown in the image above.

    Visual Basic
    Copy Code
    Me.ChartControl1.Series(0).Properties("MaxSizeFactor") = 0.25F
    Me.ChartControl1.Series(0).Properties("MaxValue") = 55.0R
    Me.ChartControl1.Series(0).Properties("MinValue") = 5.0R
    Me.ChartControl1.Series(0).Properties("Shape") = GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Chart.MarkerStyle.Circle                                        
    

    To write code in C#

    C#
    Copy Code
    this.ChartControl1.Series[0].Properties["MaxSizeFactor"] = .25f;
    this.ChartControl1.Series[0].Properties["MaxValue"] = 55D;
    this.ChartControl1.Series[0].Properties["MinValue"] = 5D;
    this.ChartControl1.Series[0].Properties["Shape"] = GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Chart.MarkerStyle.Circle;                                        
    

    Bubble XY Chart

    The Bubble XY chart is an XY chart in which bubbles represent data points. The BubbleXY uses a numerical X axis and plots the x values and first set of Y values on the chart. The second Y value is used to set the size of the bubble.
