Gets or sets the Z coordinate of a 3D point.

The Z coordinate of a 3D point, which is measured as a percentage of the relevant chart area's depth.
- Attributes
Remarks
This Z property is always expressed as a percentage of the relevant chart area's depth. With 3D charts, Z coordinates are relative, and have a value of 0 for the back wall of the chart area and a value of 100 for the front wall of the chart area.
Note This Z property may be less than zero (located behind a chart area) or greater than 100 (located in front of a chart area).
Any point used in custom 3D drawing - which is accomplished using GDI+ - must be transformed from X, Y and Z (3D) coordinates into X and Y (2D) coordinates using the TransformPoints method. This method takes an array of Point3D objects as its only parameter. By calling the TransformPoints method, the X and Y property values are changed to reflect the 3-dimensional space.
These new X and Y coordinates are then converted to absolute coordinates by using the GetAbsolutePoint method. They are then used for GDI+ method calls.
Relative Z coordinates can be obtained for series by using the GetSeriesDepth and GetSeriesZPosition methods.
