Public Property IntervalType As DateTimeIntervalType

Property Value

DateTimeIntervalType

A DateTimeIntervalType enumeration value that indicates the interval type. The default value is Auto.

Attributes: BindableAttribute PersistenceModeAttribute

Examples

The following code example demonstrates three applications of strip lines. First, horizontal strip lines are added at recurring intervals. Second, vertical strip lines are added to highlight weekend data points. Lastly, a non-recurring strip line is added to denote the mean of the data points in the first series of the chart.

Remarks

Interval types can be set to Auto, in which case the type depends on: the X-value or Y-value types of the plotted DataPoint objects - depending on which axis the StripLine objects belong to - and the axis scale.

The Interval property determines how often a strip or line is drawn.
