ChartDirector 7.1 (.NET Edition)

XY Zooming and Scrolling (Web)




NOTE: This section describes XY Zooming and Scrolling for web applications only. For Windows applications, please refer to XY Zooming and Scrolling (Windows).

NOTE: For conciseness, some of the following descriptions only mention WebChartViewer and WebViewPortControl. Those descriptions apply to RazorChartViewer and RazorViewPortControl as well.

This example demonstrates zooming and scrolling in both horizontal and vertical directions. In addition to using mouse click and drag, this example demonstrates using a WebViewPortControl to visualize and control the viewport. There is also an image map for data point tooltips.

The main source code listing of this sample program is included at the end of this section. The code consists of the following main parts:

When the script starts to run (in Page_Load) , the first thing it does is to use WebChartViewer.IsPartialUpdateRequest to detect if it is handling an AJAX chart update or an initial page request. If it is an AJAX chart update, it just draws the chart and sends back an AJAX response using WebChartViewer.PartialUpdateChart, then terminates the request. If it is an initial page request, it initializes the WebChartViewer, draws the chart, and sends the HTML contents to the browser as usual.

Files in this Demonstration

This sample script requires the following files. When developing your own script using this sample script as a template, please ensure you copy the necessary files to the proper directories (typically the same directory as the script) and reference them using proper paths.
