Orientation in Windows Forms Bullet Graph

18 Nov 20181 minute to read

The view of the Bullet Graph is changed by setting the Orientation property. The quantitative scale contains two major components: ticks and labels. The length of the quantitative scale is customized by using the QuantitativeScaleLength property. The direction of the quantitative scale is customized by using the FlowDirection property. It is either Forward or Backward.

C#

BulletGraph bullet = new BulletGraph();
bullet.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
bullet.FlowDirection = BulletGraphFlowDirection.Forward;
bullet.Orientation = Orientation.Horizontal;
bullet.QualitativeRanges.Add(new QualitativeRange() { RangeEnd = 3, RangeStroke = Color.LightGray });
bullet.QualitativeRanges.Add(new QualitativeRange() { RangeEnd = 7, RangeStroke = Color.Gray });
bullet.QualitativeRanges.Add(new QualitativeRange() { RangeEnd = 10, RangeStroke = Color.DarkGray });
this.Controls.Add(bullet);
