Inheritable Axes, Chart 3D

11-21-2008 5:45 PM |

Hello everyone. First I want to congratulate to the team on charge of this toolkit, this is a excelent work.
About the charts, i am working at my company Axelerate to add some 3D charts (using custom series) and base on this toolkit.
I first create a 3D Engine on C# with the same logic as WPF (just like Kit3D another excelent code), with support to xaml and flat lights. Base on that i already accomplish create a Column3DSerie for this charting control. The problem that I have now is with the axis class to render the correct 3D grid. The Axis class is sealed and many of his functionality is private or internal, and don't allow to create a "custom render" for the axis. In the case of the Dependent Axis i can use the ActualInterval, ActualMaximum and ActualMinimum to create the grid model of the dependent Axis, but for the Independent axis i need now the _categorylist of the axis that is private. I now can go to the source code and change it, but I want to keep the full compatibility with the toolkit. Is possible to suggest add a method or something to retrieve the actual category list from one axis class, or maybe do the axis class inheritable?

At this moment i already have a full Column3DSerie working. But the integration is very artificial, because i can inherits from Axis or from the Chart inself to provide the 3D Viewport to that level.

I fell that the architecture is very good.
