Funnel Chart

In This Topic

A Funnel Chart is similar to a Stacked Percent Bar Chart with only one category. It represents 100% of the summary values for the data items included in the chart. Funnel Charts are often used to represent stages in a sales process and show the amount of potential revenue for each stage. This type of chart can also be useful in identifying potential problem areas in an organization’s sales processes.

Creating a Funnel Chart

You create a funnel chart by creating an instance of the NFunnelChart class. There are two ways to achieve this - using a predefined chart type of doing it manually. The following code snippets show how each of those approaches works:

Creating a Funnel Chart Using a Predefined Chart Type

C#	Copy Code
chartView.Surface.CreatePredefinedChart(ENPredefinedChartType.Funnel); // obtain an instance ot the funnel chart NFunnelChart funnelChart = (NFunnelChart)chartView.Surface.Charts[0];

Copy Code

chartView.Surface.CreatePredefinedChart(ENPredefinedChartType.Funnel);

// obtain an instance ot the funnel chart

NFunnelChart funnelChart = (NFunnelChart)chartView.Surface.Charts[0];

Creating a Funnel Chart from Code

C#	Copy Code
// create a dock panel NDockPanel dockPanel = new NDockPanel(); chartView.Surface.Content = dockPanel; // create a docked label NLabel label = new NLabel(); label.Text = "Funnel Chart"; NDockLayout.SetDockArea(label, ENDockArea.Top); dockPanel.AddChild(label); // create a new legend NLegend legend = new NLegend(); NDockLayout.SetDockArea(legend, ENDockArea.Right); dockPanel.AddChild(legend); // create a new funnel chart NFunnelChart funnelChart = new NFunnelChart(); NDockLayout.SetDockArea(funnelChart, ENDockArea.Center); dockPanel.AddChild(funnelChart);

Copy Code

// create a dock panel
NDockPanel dockPanel = new NDockPanel();
chartView.Surface.Content = dockPanel;

// create a docked label
NLabel label = new NLabel();
label.Text = "Funnel Chart";
NDockLayout.SetDockArea(label, ENDockArea.Top);
dockPanel.AddChild(label);

// create a new legend
NLegend legend = new NLegend();
NDockLayout.SetDockArea(legend, ENDockArea.Right);
dockPanel.AddChild(legend);

// create a new funnel chart
NFunnelChart funnelChart = new NFunnelChart();
NDockLayout.SetDockArea(funnelChart, ENDockArea.Center);
dockPanel.AddChild(funnelChart);
