Description
Follow this link for a visual representation of this Series type.
The SurfaceSeries class outputs all points as a 3 dimensions grid. You can control grid colors palette and line attributes.
Set the ParentChart property to the desired Chart class.
Points should be added manually to the Series by using either the AddXYZ method.
The NumXValues and NumZValues properties determine the grid dimensions. Currently, the Surface grid dimensions can't exceed 500 x 500 grid cells.
A Surface chart made of 500 x 500 grid cells takes a lot of computing time, while a 20 x 20 grid size redraws quite fast on a Pentium machine.
The Pen property determines the kind of pen used to draw Surface's grid lines.
Set the WireFrame property to True to draw transparent Surface's grids.
Surface point values are stored at XValues, YValues and ZValues properties.
The Brush property defines the pattern style used to fill Surface's grid cells.
The TimesZOrder property determines the ratio between Z scales and Chart depth in pixels. The default value is 3 times the TChart.Aspect.Chart3dPercent value.
The ClearPalette, AddPalette and Palette properties can be used to customize color ranges.
The CreateDefaultPalette restores the default internal color palette.
The GetSurfacePaletteColor function returns the color corresponding to a given Y value.
The GetXZValue function returns the stored Y value that corresponds to a given X,Y grid cell coordinates.
