    Projection Property
    In This Topic
    Controls the projection type of the camera. Can be ProjectionType.Orthogonal or ProjectionType.Perspective.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
 
<CategoryAttribute("General")>
<DescriptionAttribute("Controls the projection type of the camera. Can be ProjectionType.Orthogonal or ProjectionType.Perspective.")>
<DefaultValueAttribute(Mono.Cecil.CustomAttributeArgument)>
Public Property Projection As ProjectionType
    'Usage
 
Dim instance As View
Dim value As ProjectionType
 
instance.Projection = value
 
value = instance.Projection
    [Category("General")]
[Description("Controls the projection type of the camera. Can be ProjectionType.Orthogonal or ProjectionType.Perspective.")]
[DefaultValue(Mono.Cecil.CustomAttributeArgument)]
public ProjectionType Projection {get; set;}
    Remarks
    Perspective projection is more suitable for 3D charts, because it gives you a perception of depth. In this mode you can also control the PerspectiveAngle parameter. If you want to display 2D charts you must switch to orthogonal projection which is better for analytical charts like stock for example. In Orthogonal projection you can modify the XDepth and YDepth parameters that allow you to achieve two and a half projection, which is also widely used.
    Example
    The following example modifies the projection applied on the chart camera: 
    Dim chartView As View = (CType(ChartControl.Charts(0), Chart)).View 
chartView.Projection = ProjectionType.Orthogonal
chartView.XDepth = 0.4f
chartView.YDepth = 0.4f
    View chartView = ((NChart)NChartControl.Charts[0]).View;
chartView.Projection = ProjectionType.Orthogonal;
chartView.XDepth = 0.4f;
chartView.YDepth = 0.4f;
