SurfaceGridSeries3D customize representation when Y scale is

[Felix]

Hi Pasi,

I want to do in my "SurfaceGridSeries3D" chart, the Y axis by the user changeable. But if I change the Y axis, the representation of the object does not fit, as can be seen below the image.

Why the whole object is shown and not only the range of the Y axis?

It seems you haven't set enough range in the ContourPalette of the grid series, that's why it shows with pale color.

Solution 1: Add more range than 200.

Solution 2: Set chart.View3D.ClipContents = true, and it will make a sharp cut on Y axis maximum (and in other places where the data doesn't fit the axis ranges).

Hi Pasi,

Solution 2 I was looking for.
Thank you.

Hello Pasi,

the solution 2 works great with the object, but when I display contour lines are not this cut.

Code: Select all

chart.View3D.ClipContents = true;

Why?

The contour lines are created in a new SurfaceGridSeries3D object.

Code: Select all

private SurfaceGridSeries3D CreateLimitsConturLineSurfaceGrid(SurfacePoint[,] data)
{
	SurfaceGridSeries3D surfaceGrid = new SurfaceGridSeries3D(lcuChart.View3D, Axis3DBinding.Primary, Axis3DBinding.Primary, Axis3DBinding.Primary);

	surfaceGrid.Title.ShowInLegendBox = false;

	surfaceGrid.SetRangesXZ(_xAxisCoordinates.Min<double>(), _xAxisCoordinates.Max<double>(), _yAxisCoordinates.Min<double>(), _yAxisCoordinates.Max<double>());
	surfaceGrid.SetSize(data.GetLength(0), data.GetLength(1));

	surfaceGrid.Data = data;
	surfaceGrid.InvalidateData();

	surfaceGrid.MouseInteraction = false;

	surfaceGrid.WireframeType = SurfaceWireframeType.None;

	surfaceGrid.Fill = SurfaceFillStyle.None;

	surfaceGrid.ContourPalette = GetColorPaletteForConturLines(new ValueRangePalette(surfaceGrid), _limitMin, _limitMax);

	surfaceGrid.ContourLineType = ContourLineType.PalettedLine;

	surfaceGrid.ContourLineWidth = _contourLineSize;

	return surfaceGrid;
}

3D clipping can clip only lines of width = 1.

Set ContourLineWidth = 1.
