StripLine.IntervalOffsetType Property

Definition

Gets or sets the interval offset type of the strip line.

C#
[System.ComponentModel.Bindable(true)]
[System.Web.UI.PersistenceMode(System.Web.UI.PersistenceMode.Attribute)]
public System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.DateTimeIntervalType IntervalOffsetType { get; set; }

Property Value

A DateTimeIntervalType enumeration value that indicates the interval type. The default value is Auto.

Attributes

Examples

The following code example demonstrates three applications of strip lines. First, horizontal strip lines are added at recurring intervals. Second, vertical strip lines are added to highlight weekend data points. Lastly, a non-recurring strip line is added to denote the mean of the data points in the first series of the chart.

C#
public partial class StripLines : System.Web.UI.Page   
    {  
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
        {              
            // Add chart data  
            AddChartData();  

            // Adds repeating horizontal strip lines.  
            AddHorizRepeatingStripLines();  

            // Highlights weekend points using strip lines.  
            HighlightWeekendsWithStripLines();  

            // Adds a threshold line using strip lines.  
            AddThresholdStripLine();  
        }  

        /// <summary>

            for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++)   
            {  
                chart1.Series[0].Points.AddXY(DateTime.Now.AddDays(i), rand.Next(20,35));  
            }

Remarks

By default, this property is set to Auto; the actual value of this property is determined by the IntervalType property.
