17 Feb 20252 minutes to read

The Caption for a Bullet Graph specifies a unique label describing the value represented in the BulletGraph.

C#

BulletGraph bullet = new BulletGraph();

            bullet.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

            bullet.Caption = " Revenue YTD \n $ in thousands";

            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);

Caption Position

The caption in the Bullet Graph is placed at the start or end of the quantitative scale by choosing from one of the two options available in the CaptionPosition property. They are:

• Near (Default)
• Far

C#

BulletGraph bullet = new BulletGraph();

     bullet.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

     bullet.Caption = " Revenue YTD \n $ in thousands";

     bullet.CaptionPosition = BulletGraphCaptionPosition.Far;            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);
