Silverlight Toolkit提供了绘制柱状图(Column,Bar),饼图(Pie),折线图(Line), 散点图(Scatter)等控件。
我们可以很方便的将已有的数据源绑定到相应图形控件上,设置好相应的X,Y轴显示样式和数据字段之后就大功告
成了,同时其还支持图形的定时加载刷新,图形的动态加载动画效果。今天就先以柱状图为例,简要的总结一下如
何使用该控件来显示我们的数据。
首先,我们需要创建一个Silverlight项目,命名为:DataVisualization。
然后我们使用WCF方式发布数据源信息,这里我们创建一个"Silverlight功能的WCF",并将其命名为:
DataService.svc

接着将下面的代码拷贝到该类文件中:
public
class
EmployeeInfo
{
public
int
EmployeeID {
set
;
get
; }
public
string
EmployeeName {
set
;
get
; }
public
int
Salary {
set
;
get
; }
public
int
[] Cost {
get
;
set
; }
public
string
City {
set
;
get
; }
}
[ServiceContract(Namespace
=
""
)]
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode
=
AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
public
class
DataService
{
[OperationContract]
public
List
<
EmployeeInfo
>
GetEmployeeList()
{
List
<
EmployeeInfo
>
employeeList
=
new
List
<
EmployeeInfo
>
();
employeeList.Add(
new
EmployeeInfo { EmployeeID
=
1
, EmployeeName
=
"
张三
"
, Salary
=
1000
, City
=
"
合肥
"
});
employeeList.Add(
new
EmployeeInfo { EmployeeID
=
2
, EmployeeName
=
"
李四
"
, Salary
=
1500
, City
=
"
天津
"
});
employeeList.Add(
new
EmployeeInfo { EmployeeID
=
3
, EmployeeName
=
"
王五
"
, Salary
=
2000
, City
=
"
上海
"
});
employeeList.Add(
new
EmployeeInfo { EmployeeID
=
4
, EmployeeName
=
"
赵六
"
, Salary
=
-
800
, City
=
"
北京
"
});
employeeList.Add(
new
EmployeeInfo { EmployeeID
=
5
, EmployeeName
=
"
尤七
"
, Salary
=
2100
, City
=
"
武汉
"
});
employeeList.Add(
new
EmployeeInfo { EmployeeID
=
6
, EmployeeName
=
"
马八
"
, Salary
=
2300
, City
=
"
海口
"
});
return
employeeList;
}
}
这里数据源我们就创建完成了,它将会返回6个雇员信息。
下面我们往该Silverlight应用的Xaml文件上拖(或手工声明)一个Chart控件,如下:
<
charting:Chart
Title
="员工薪水"
x:Name
="EmployeeChart"
></
charting:Chart
>
我们看到在该控件上我们指定了Title信息,该信息会显示在图表的最上方。
下面开始编写CS代码。
1.首先我们向该Silverlight应用中添加对刚才声明的WCF的引用。
2.使用WCF生成的客户端类来获取相应的数据源,代码如下:
void
LoadWcfData()
{
dataServiceClient.GetEmployeeListCompleted
+=
new
EventHandler
<
GetEmployeeListCompletedEventArgs
>
(dataServiceClient_GetEmployeeListCompleted);
dataServiceClient.GetEmployeeListAsync();
}
3.将WCF返回的数据源信息绑定到相应的图形控件上,并初始化该控件的相应信息,如下:
void
dataServiceClient_GetEmployeeListCompleted(
object
sender, GetEmployeeListCompletedEventArgs e)
{
ObservableCollection
<
EmployeeInfo
>
employeeList
=
e.Result;
Action
<
Chart
>
chartModifier
=
(chart)
=>
{
Axis dateAxis
=
new
Axis { Orientation
=
AxisOrientation.Horizontal, Title
=
"
雇员名称
"
, FontStyle
=
FontStyles.Normal, FontSize
=
12f, ShowGridLines
=
true
};
EmployeeChart.Axes.Add(dateAxis);
Axis valueAxis
=
new
Axis { Orientation
=
AxisOrientation.Vertical, Title
=
"
薪水
"
, Minimum
=
-
1000
, Maximum
=
3000
, ShowGridLines
=
true
};
EmployeeChart.Axes.Add(valueAxis);
};
chartModifier(EmployeeChart);
ColumnSeries series
=
new
ColumnSeries();
series.ItemsSource
=
employeeList;
series.IndependentValueBinding
=
new
System.Windows.Data.Binding(
"
EmployeeName
"
);
series.DependentValueBinding
=
new
System.Windows.Data.Binding(
"
Salary
"
);
series.Title
=
"
薪水
"
;
EmployeeChart.Series.Add(series);
}
在上面的代码中我们创建了Axis对象用以将X,Y轴的描述信息绑定到指定的图形控件上,然后将我们的指定数据
源绑定到该图形控件的ItemsSource属性上,最后再绑定两个座标轴要显示的相应数据:
X轴: series.IndependentValueBinding = new System.Windows.Data.Binding("EmployeeName");
Y轴: series.DependentValueBinding = new System.Windows.Data.Binding("Salary");
下面我们来看一下最终的显示效果,如下图所示:

大家看到,在Y轴上我们既显示了正轴也显示了负轴,这就是通过Minimum = -1000, Maximum = 3000这一行
设置实现的。
还不错了,到这里我们只是简要的领略了一个图形控件的基本功能。接着我们再了解一下它还有那些更高级的使
用技巧。
首先是图形的定时加载刷新,要实现这个演示,我们需要一个实时变化的数据源,以便当我们定时刷新控件时能
显示不同的数据信息。所以我们要在WCF中创建一个这样的数据源:
[OperationContract]
public
List
<
EmployeeInfo
>
GetEmployeeDynamicList()
{
Random random
=
new
Random();
List
<
EmployeeInfo
>
employeeList
=
new
List
<
EmployeeInfo
>
();
employeeList.Add(
new
EmployeeInfo { EmployeeID
=
1
, EmployeeName
=
"
张三
"
, Salary
=
random.Next(
500
,
3000
), City
=
"
合肥
"
});
employeeList.Add(
new
EmployeeInfo { EmployeeID
=
2
, EmployeeName
=
"
李四
"
, Salary
=
random.Next(
500
,
3000
), City
=
"
天津
"
});
employeeList.Add(
new
EmployeeInfo { EmployeeID
=
3
, EmployeeName
=
"
王五
"
, Salary
=
random.Next(
500
,
3000
), City
=
"
上海
"
});
employeeList.Add(
new
EmployeeInfo { EmployeeID
=
4
, EmployeeName
=
"
赵六
"
, Salary
=
random.Next(
500
,
3000
), City
=
"
北京
"
});
employeeList.Add(
new
EmployeeInfo { EmployeeID
=
5
, EmployeeName
=
"
尤七
"
, Salary
=
random.Next(
500
,
3000
), City
=
"
武汉
"
});
employeeList.Add(
new
EmployeeInfo { EmployeeID
=
6
, EmployeeName
=
"
马八
"
, Salary
=
random.Next(
500
,
3000
), City
=
"
海口
"
});
return
employeeList;
}
大家看到,这里使用了Random来模拟一个动态数据源信息,其生成的随机数介于500-3000之间,那么接下来,我
们再Silverlight的XAML上创建这样一个Chart对象,用以显示该动态数据源信息,如下:
<
charting:Chart
Title
="动态员工薪水"
x:Name
="DynamicEmployeeChart"
/>
接着就是相应的CS代码了,这里为了方便起见,这里直接使用DispatcherTimer来定时(3秒)获取相应的数据源信
息,如下:
void
LoadDynamicData()
{
System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer dispatcherTimer
=
new
System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer();
dispatcherTimer.Interval
=
TimeSpan.FromSeconds(
3
);
dispatcherTimer.Tick
+=
delegate
{
dataServiceClient.GetEmployeeDynamicListCompleted
+=
new
EventHandler
<
GetEmployeeDynamicListCompletedEventArgs
>
(dataServiceClient_GetEmployeeDynamicListCompleted);
dataServiceClient.GetEmployeeDynamicListAsync();
};
dispatcherTimer.Start();
}
接着就是初始化相应的图形控件并绑定相应的数据源了,代码与上面的CS代码相似,如下:
void
dataServiceClient_GetEmployeeDynamicListCompleted(
object
sender, GetEmployeeDynamicListCompletedEventArgs e)
{
ObservableCollection
<
EmployeeInfo
>
employeeList
=
e.Result;
DynamicEmployeeChart.Axes.Clear();
DynamicEmployeeChart.Series.Clear();
Action
<
Chart
>
chartModifier
=
(chart)
=>
{
Axis dateAxis
=
new
Axis { Orientation
=
AxisOrientation.Horizontal, Title
=
"
雇员名称
"
, FontStyle
=
FontStyles.Normal, FontSize
=
12f, ShowGridLines
=
true
};
DynamicEmployeeChart.Axes.Add(dateAxis);
Axis valueAxis
=
new
Axis { Orientation
=
AxisOrientation.Vertical, Title
=
"
薪水
"
, Minimum
=
0
, Maximum
=
3000
, ShowGridLines
=
true
};
DynamicEmployeeChart.Axes.Add(valueAxis);
};
chartModifier(DynamicEmployeeChart);
ColumnSeries series
=
new
ColumnSeries();
series.ItemsSource
=
employeeList;
series.IndependentValueBinding
=
new
System.Windows.Data.Binding(
"
EmployeeName
"
);
series.DependentValueBinding
=
new
System.Windows.Data.Binding(
"
Salary
"
);
series.Title
=
"
薪水
"
;
DynamicEmployeeChart.Series.Add(series);
}
好了,这里我们看一下最终的运行效果,首先是刚启动运行时的截图:

然后是三秒之后的运行截图:

到这里还不算完,因为该控件还支持数据的分组显示,比如说如果我们的数据中有数组类型的字段信息,
该控件是以数组为单位(数组长度就是图表的列信息)。这个有些难以理解,下面就以一个示例来加以说明。
首先,我们要创建一个具有数组类型字段的数据源,如下:
[OperationContract]
public
List
<
EmployeeInfo
>
GetMultiSeriesEmployeeList()
{
List
<
EmployeeInfo
>
employeeList
=
new
List
<
EmployeeInfo
>
();
employeeList.Add(
new
EmployeeInfo { EmployeeID
=
1
, EmployeeName
=
"
张三
"
, Salary
=
1000
, Cost
=
new
int
[] {
100
,
160
} });
employeeList.Add(
new
EmployeeInfo { EmployeeID
=
2
, EmployeeName
=
"
李四
"
, Salary
=
1500
, Cost
=
new
int
[] {
260
,
200
} });
employeeList.Add(
new
EmployeeInfo { EmployeeID
=
3
, EmployeeName
=
"
王五
"
, Salary
=
2000
, Cost
=
new
int
[] {
360
,
330
} });
employeeList.Add(
new
EmployeeInfo { EmployeeID
=
4
, EmployeeName
=
"
赵六
"
, Salary
=
800
, Cost
=
new
int
[] {
160
,
430
} });
employeeList.Add(
new
EmployeeInfo { EmployeeID
=
5
, EmployeeName
=
"
尤七
"
, Salary
=
2100
, Cost
=
new
int
[] {
560
,
530
} });
employeeList.Add(
new
EmployeeInfo { EmployeeID
=
6
, EmployeeName
=
"
马八
"
, Salary
=
2300
, Cost
=
new
int
[] {
660
,
600
} });
return
employeeList;
}
大家看到了,在该数据源中的Cost属性即是数据类型字段,该字段记录了雇员的交费信息:第一项为
“住房公积金”,第二项为“个人养老金”。
下面我们就来看一下该如何绑定这类数据源信息。
首先在XAML中创建该图表控件,如下:
<
charting:Chart
Title
="MultiSeries"
x:Name
="MultiSeries"
MouseLeftButtonDown
="OnMouseLeftButtonDown"
/>
大家看到这里我们还绑定了鼠标单击事件,该事件主要用于稍后演示图表的动态效果,这里先行略过:)
接着就是我们的CS代码了,首先是获取数据源:
void
LoadMultiSeries()
{
dataServiceClient.GetMultiSeriesEmployeeListCompleted
+=
new
EventHandler
<
GetMultiSeriesEmployeeListCompletedEventArgs
>
(dataServiceClient_GetMultiSeriesEmployeeListCompleted);
dataServiceClient.GetMultiSeriesEmployeeListAsync();
}
然后是相应的控件初始化和数据绑定代码:
void
dataServiceClient_GetMultiSeriesEmployeeListCompleted(
object
sender, GetMultiSeriesEmployeeListCompletedEventArgs e)
{
ObservableCollection
<
EmployeeInfo
>
employeeList
=
e.Result;
Action
<
Chart
>
chartModifier
=
(chart)
=>
{
Axis dateAxis
=
new
Axis { Orientation
=
AxisOrientation.Horizontal, Title
=
"
注 1:住房公积金 2:个人养老金
"
, FontStyle
=
FontStyles.Normal, FontSize
=
14f, ShowGridLines
=
true
};
MultiSeries.Axes.Add(dateAxis);
Axis valueAxis
=
new
Axis { Orientation
=
AxisOrientation.Vertical, Title
=
"
税金
"
, Minimum
=
0
, Maximum
=
800
, ShowGridLines
=
true
};
MultiSeries.Axes.Add(valueAxis);
};
chartModifier(MultiSeries);
foreach
(EmployeeInfo itemsSource
in
employeeList)
{
ColumnSeries series
=
new
ColumnSeries();
series.ItemsSource
=
itemsSource.Cost;
series.DependentValueBinding
=
null
;
series.IndependentValueBinding
=
null
;
series.Title
=
itemsSource.EmployeeName
+
"
ID:
"
+
itemsSource.EmployeeID;
series.AnimationSequence
=
AnimationSequence.FirstToLast;
MultiSeries.Series.Add(series);
}
}
这里我们看到在控件的数据源绑定上与前两个DEMO存在一定的差异。因为每个雇员的交费字段本身就是一个数
组(整形),所以这里将该交费字段直接绑定到了ColumnSeries的ItemsSource属性上。同时将ColumnSeries 的属
性 DependentValueBinding,IndependentValueBinding分别设置为null。这里给该ColumnSeries的动态显示效果
设置成了AnimationSequence.FirstToLast。下面我们会看到显示效果,而相应的鼠标单击事件代码摘自TOOKIT的
代码示例包,这里就不多加解释了。下面是相应的显示效果:

当我们在图表上单击鼠标时,显示效果如下:

等图表全被隐去时,这时我们再单击鼠标,图表会依次再显示出来。
除了数据动态加载,Chart还支持数据的静态绑定,如下面的XAML代码即是初始并绑定一个已存在的数据源:
<
charting:Chart
Title
="Xaml绑定"
x:Name
="FunctionSeriesSample"
MouseLeftButtonDown
="OnMouseLeftButtonDown"
>
<
charting:Chart.Series
>
<
charting:ColumnSeries
Title
="人口"
AnimationSequence
="FirstToLast"
ItemsSource
="
{Binding PugetSound, Source={StaticResource City}}
"
IndependentValueBinding
="
{Binding Name}
"
DependentValueBinding
="
{Binding Population}
"
/>
</
charting:Chart.Series
>
<
charting:Chart.Axes
>
<
charting:Axis
AxisType
="Category"
Title
="城市"
Orientation
="Horizontal"
FontStyle
="Italic"
/>
<
charting:Axis
AxisType
="Linear"
Title
="人口"
Orientation
="Vertical"
Minimum
="0"
Maximum
="600000"
Interval
="100000"
ShowGridLines
="True"
FontStyle
="Italic"
/>
</
charting:Chart.Axes
>
</
charting:Chart
>
而数据源是在程序中直接写死的,如下:
Code

/**//// <summary>
/// City business object used for charting samples.
/// </summary>
public class City


{

/**//// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the name of the city.
/// </summary>

public int ID
{ get; set; }


/**//// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the name of the city.
/// </summary>

public string Name
{ get; set; }


/**//// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the population of the city.
/// </summary>

public int Population
{ get; set; }


/**//// <summary>
/// Initializes a new instance of the City class.
/// </summary>
public City()

{
}


/**//// <summary>
/// Returns a string that represents the current object.
/// </summary>
/// <returns>A string that represents the current object.</returns>
public override string ToString()

{
return Name;
}


/**//// <summary>
/// Gets a collection of cities in the Puget Sound area.
/// </summary>
public static ObjectCollection PugetSound

{
get

{
ObjectCollection pugetSound = new ObjectCollection();

pugetSound.Add(new City
{ Name = "张庄", Population = 312344, ID = 1 });

pugetSound.Add(new City
{ Name = "李庄", Population = 411212, ID = 2 });

pugetSound.Add(new City
{ Name = "赵庄", Population = 261391, ID = 3 });

pugetSound.Add(new City
{ Name = "马家河子", Population = 530022, ID = 4 });
return pugetSound;
}
}
}
到这里,有关柱状图的主要功能介绍的差不多了,但如果开发过相应图表功能的朋友会发现,之前的
DEMO显示的都是垂直的柱状图,但很多的网站上显示的都是水平方向的柱状图,比如说投票功能等,其实
Chart实现这个功能非常简要,只要在我们原有的CS代码基础上做很少的改动即可实现,这里以上面的第
一个DEMO为例,看一下如何进行改造:
下面是其dataServiceClient_GetEmployeeListCompleted方法的改造后的代码:
void
dataServiceClient_GetEmployeeListCompleted(
object
sender, GetEmployeeListCompletedEventArgs e)
{
ObservableCollection
<
EmployeeInfo
>
employeeList
=
e.Result;
Action
<
Chart
>
chartModifier
=
(chart)
=>
{
Axis dateAxis
=
new
Axis { Orientation
=
AxisOrientation.Vertical, Title
=
"
雇员名称
"
, FontStyle
=
FontStyles.Normal, FontSize
=
12f, ShowGridLines
=
true
};
EmployeeChart.Axes.Add(dateAxis);
Axis valueAxis
=
new
Axis { Orientation
=
AxisOrientation.Horizontal, Title
=
"
薪水
"
, Minimum
=
-
1000
, Maximum
=
3000
, ShowGridLines
=
true
};
EmployeeChart.Axes.Add(valueAxis);
};
chartModifier(EmployeeChart);
BarSeries series
=
new
BarSeries();
series.ItemsSource
=
employeeList;
series.IndependentValueBinding
=
new
System.Windows.Data.Binding(
"
EmployeeName
"
);
series.DependentValueBinding
=
new
System.Windows.Data.Binding(
"
Salary
"
);
EmployeeChart.Series.Add(series);
}
在这里,我们看到了之前所设置的X,Y轴在AxisOrientation属性上被做了交换设置。而接着的ColumnSeries对象
也被替换成了BarSeries。这样我们就完成了相应的改造(更多信息参见DEMO源码BarSample)。
其它的DEMO只要参照一下上面所说的替换方式替换一下即可,最终我们看一个显示效果,如下图所示:
