Creating a vertical stack area graph
To use the code in this topic, modify the following parameters:
- pathToShapeFile - Path to shapefile to build the area graph.
- seriesFieldName - Numerical field used to build the first series of the area graph.
- seriesFileName2 - Numerical field used to build the second series of the area graph.
- pathToOutImage - Output file containing an image of the graph. Refer to the application programming interface (API) documentation for the appropriate format extension in IDataGraphBase.ExportToFile.
To create a vertical stack area graph, see the following code:
[C#] namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
IAoInitialize ao=new AoInitializeClass();
ao.Initialize(esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeBasic);
SampleAreaV(@"path to your shapefile", "field name", "field name2", @
"path to your output image");
ao.Shutdown();
}
static void SampleAreaV(String pathToShapeFile, String seriesFieldName,
String seriesFieldName2, String pathToOutImage)
{
// Open a workspace for the input shapefile.
IWorkspace shapefileWorkspace=null;
IWorkspaceFactory shapefileWorkspaceFactory=new
ShapefileWorkspaceFactoryClass();
shapefileWorkspace=shapefileWorkspaceFactory.OpenFromFile
(System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(pathToShapeFile), 0);
IFeatureWorkspace featureWorkspace=(IFeatureWorkspace)
shapefileWorkspace;
// Get the table for the input shapefile.
ITable table=(ITable)featureWorkspace.OpenFeatureClass
(System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(pathToShapeFile));
// Create the data graph.
IDataGraphT dataGraphT=new DataGraphTClass();
// Turn off automatic minimum calculation for the vertical y-axis.
dataGraphT.get_AxisProperties(0).AutomaticMinimum=false;
dataGraphT.get_AxisProperties(0).Minimum=0;
// Add the first area series.
ISeriesProperties seriesProps=dataGraphT.AddSeries("area:vertical");
seriesProps.SourceData=table;
seriesProps.SetField(1, seriesFieldName);
seriesProps.Name=seriesFieldName + " and";
// Set area properties for the multiple area graph.
IAreaSeriesProperties areaSeriesProps=(IAreaSeriesProperties)
seriesProps;
areaSeriesProps.MultipleAreaType =
esriMultiAreaType.esriStackedMultiArea;
// Add the second area series.
seriesProps=dataGraphT.AddSeries("area:vertical");
seriesProps.SourceData=table;
seriesProps.SetField(1, seriesFieldName2);
seriesProps.CustomColor=0x0000ff00;
seriesProps.Name=seriesFieldName2;
// Set legend properties.
dataGraphT.LegendProperties.Alignment =
esriDataGraphTLegendAlignment.esriDataGraphTLegendTop;
dataGraphT.LegendProperties.Title="Stacking of";
// Update the data graph.
dataGraphT.Update(null);
// Export the graph to file (the format depends on the file extension).
dataGraphT.ExportToFile(pathToOutImage);
}
}
}
