StripLine.Interval Property

Definition

Gets or sets the interval for a strip line, and determines if the strip line is drawn once or repeatedly.

public:
 property double Interval { double get(); void set(double value); };
[System.ComponentModel.Bindable(true)]
[System.Web.UI.PersistenceMode(System.Web.UI.PersistenceMode.Attribute)]
public double Interval { get; set; }
[<System.ComponentModel.Bindable(true)>]
[<System.Web.UI.PersistenceMode(System.Web.UI.PersistenceMode.Attribute)>]
member this.Interval : double with get, set
Public Property Interval As Double

Property Value

A double value that represents the interval between strip lines. The default value is 0.0.

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.

Remarks

When you set the Interval property to a value of zero (0.0), one strip line will be displayed, with a width specified by the StripWidth property. When you set Interval to a value of other than zero, multiple strip lines will be shown. The unit that is used for the Interval property is defined by the IntervalType property.
