CalculateXValues Method

Generates exemplary X-position values for the result elements. It is not compulsory to use the generated x values when presenting a function in the chart, still it is very useful for functions with groupping like AVERAGE, MIN, MAX and SUM.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Function CalculateXValues() As DataSeries

'Usage
 
Dim instance As FunctionCalculator
Dim value As DataSeries
 
value = instance.CalculateXValues()

public DataSeries CalculateXValues()

Return Value

The function returns an DataSeries object which contains the generated x-position values.

Example

The following code sets an expression which calculates the average of every group of 3 successive values. The result of the Calculate function is assigned to the Values data series of a line series. Then the CalculateXValues function is called to generate x-values for the line series.

functionCalculator.Expression = "AVERAGE(bars ; 3)";
lineSeries.Values = functionCalculator.Calculate();
lineSeries.XValues = functionCalculator.CalculateXValues();
