Besides the value, each data point has a X coordinate at which it is positioned. |
Shape - defines the shape of the line segments. Possible values are: Line, Tape, Tube and Ellipsoid.
Depth Percent - controls the size of the tape shape.
Route - controls how two adjacent data points are to be connected with line segments. Possible values are:
AlwaysHV - Horizontal-Vertical routing is used both for ascending and descending segments.
AlwaysVH - Vertical-Horizontal routing is used both for ascending and descending segments.
HVAscendVHDescent- Ascending segments use Horizontal-Vertical routing, descending segments use Vertical-Horizontal routing.
VHAscendHVDescent - Ascending segments use Vertical-Horizontal routing, descending segments use Horizontal-Vertical routing.
Size - controls the size of the tube and ellipsoid shapes.
Sampling Mode - controls whether the step line uses sampling. When using sampling the step line will filter very close individual line segments and display a single line segment instead. This reduces the number of visual line segments and therefore leads to improved performance. When using sampling the step line series will not regard settings for markers and data labels, individual appearance styles and shadow. Possible value are:
Auto - The step line series uses sampling only when the number of data points is large.
Enabled - The step line series always uses sampling.
Disabled - The step line series does not use sampling. This is the default.
Sample Distance - controls the precision of the step line series when it aggregates adjacent line segments. The precision is specified in points.
