Point3D Class
Represents the coordinates of a three-dimensional (3D) data point. This class is used when performing custom drawing with 3D charts.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization (in System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.dll)
The Point3D type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Point3D() | Initializes a new instance of the Point3D class. |
![]() | Point3D(Single, Single, Single) | Initializes a new instance of the AnnotationPathPoint class with the specified X, Y and Z coordinates. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
Any point used in custom 3D drawing—which is accomplished using GDI+—must be transformed from relative X, Y and Z (3D) coordinates into relative X and Y (2D) coordinates using the TransformPoints method. By calling TransformPoints, the X and Y-values of the Point3D objects are changed so that they reflect the 3-dimensional space. The new X and Y points can then be used for GDI+ method calls—the Z value is then disregarded—after being changed to absolute pixel coordinates using the GetAbsolutePoint method.
Note that the Z coordinate may be less than zero (located behind a chart area) or greater than 100 (located in front of a chart area).
To both enable 3D charts and work with their styles, use the Area3DStyle property. The Point3D class is not used for 3D styles.
