Super 2d/3d Graph Library

Enhance your .NET application adding nice charts within minutes! Save time and money!


Example 49: Adding custom text or drawings to chart

Super 2d/3d Graph Library exposes 3 events that you can use to add custom content, text or drawings to the chart canvas:

 

  • BeginPaint: occurs just after clearing the canvas and before any other drawing is done.

  • AfterPaint: occurs when chart is completed, before screen refreshing occurs..

  • ValueClick: occurs when any value item (bar, line, point, ...) is clicked by user.

In this sample, a simple text is added to the chart in the left side ("Custom text added by user").

Steps:

1. Create a new Windows application project (VB.NET).

2. Add Super 2d/3d Graph Library to the toolbox pallete and drag it to Form1.

3. Copy and paste de following code:

 
Form Code


Imports Super2d3dGraphLibrary

Public Class Form1

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

  With Super2d3dGraph1
    .SampleChart()
    .Style = STYLE2D3D.STYLE2D_PIE
    .RefreshChart()
  End With

End Sub

Private Sub Super2d3dGraph1_AfterPaint(ByVal g As CustomGraphics) Handles Super2d3dGraph1.AfterPaint
  g.RotateTransform(90)
  g.TranslateTransform(30, -50)
  ' Draw text in white first, displaced 2 pixels, to simulate a glow effect
  g.DrawString("Custom Text Added By User", New Font("Arial", 30), New SolidBrush(Color.White), 0, 0)
  g.DrawString("Custom Text Added By User", New Font("Arial", 30), New SolidBrush(Color.Purple), 2, 2)
  g.ResetTransform()
End Sub

End Class
