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:

Visual Basic

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;
