Return Value

If true (the default) the chart area is displayed using an isometric projection, if false it is not.

An isometric projection is a transformation that preserves distances between all points in 3D space. In addition the chart area's vertical and horizontal axes are displayed at right angles to each other at all times.

With an isometric view the X axes of column-type charts (or the Y axis of bar-type charts) are displayed horizontally up until 45 degrees of rotation around the vertical axis. After 44 degrees of rotation the horizontal axes that are displayed are then the Z axes.

Setting this property will result in the Perspective property being reset to zero (they are mutually exclusive).

Please note the following points concerning isometric views:

• isometric projection is not "real" 3D (i.e. the angle of rotation around axes will differ from the XAngle and YAngle property values).
• isometric projection is ideal for displaying 3D charts where the angle of rotation is not critical, and an attractive 3D view is required.
• if your application allows end-users to rotate the charts then the rotation will not be smooth. In this case we do not recommend using isometric views.
