CalculateFunctionDelegate Delegate

xValue

the argument of the function, which is computed.

e

Argument of type FunctionArgs. It provides data for the event and has following members:

Member Name	Description
float StartValue	Specifies the beginning of the numerical interval in which the function is calculated.
float EndValue	Specifies the closing value of the numerical interval in which the function is calculated.
double FunctionDelta	Specifies the interval with which function values are calculated.

The delegate enables custom functions to be computed and drawn rather than settings numbers with XData and YData. The delegate's function argument specifies the numerical interval, in which the function is computed. In order to raise the CalculateFunction event, provide a method that calculates the value of a float argument and returns float result. Then, assign the method to an instance of the CalculateFunctionDelegate delegate.

The following example:

• Creates a line chart
• Sets the chart data with a delegate, which calculates the sine function in the interval [-3, 3];
