Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
Dim instance As ChartArea Dim points() As Point3D   instance.TransformPoints(points)

public void TransformPoints( 
   Point3D[] points
)

Parameters

points

An array of points of type Point3D.

This method is used for custom drawing routines, and takes an array of 3D points with relative X, Y, and Z coordinates and then transforms those points so that they have relative 2-dimensional coordinates (i.e. the X and Y properties are changed to reflect the 3-dimensional view).

After calling this method get the absolute pixel coordinates of the new X and Y properties of each Point3D object (the  Z property of each Point3D object is disregarded) by calling the GetAbsolutePoint method of the ChartGraphics object. These absolute coordinates can then used for GDI+  drawing routines. For more information on custom drawing and 3D charts see the "Custom Drawing" section in the Working with 3D Charts topic.

The GetSeriesDepth and GetSeriesZPosition are useful when calculating relative Z positions, and the Axis.ValueToPosition method is useful for calculating relative X and Y coordinates for given axis values.
