Draw vertical delimiters

Question

Hello,

is there a way to draw vertical lines that does not represent datas but simple delimiters ?
 
These delimiters would be used to highlight important X values (dates), for example the beginning of a new year.
 
Thanks.

Answer 1

Check Axis.StripLines collection. You can find more information about striplines in the samples.

Answer 2

Thanks for your answer, it is almost that.

But I would like to highlight arbitrary dates, for example the "01/02/2003" date.

"StripLine" does not seem to contain such a property.


Is there a way to set arbitrary dates ?

Answer 3

You can do it with code like this:

DateTime date = new DateTime(2003, 1, 2);
StripLine sl = new StripLine()
{
    BorderColor = Color.Red,
    BorderWidth = 3,
    BorderDashStyle = ChartDashStyle.Solid,
    IntervalOffset = date.ToOADate()
};

Answer 4

Thanks a lot.

The only remaining problem is that when a custom stripline is at the same position that an original one, the black ones, it is hidden.

How to give the priority to the custom ones ?

Answer 5

If stripline width is set to zero it should be drawn on top of the gridline.
