ChartDirector 7.1 (.NET Edition)

Vector Chart




This example demonstrates a vector chart.

A vector chart is like a scatter chart, but the symbols are arrows which can be of arbitrary lengths pointing to arbitrary directions. Thus each symbol in a vector chart is specified by 4 values - the x and y coordinates, the length and the direction.

In ChartDirector, an XY vector layer is created using XYChart.addVectorLayer.
