Public Function GetAbsolutePoint( _
   ByVal relative As PointF _
) As PointF

Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
Dim instance As ChartGraphics Dim relative As PointF Dim value As PointF   value = instance.GetAbsolutePoint(relative)

public PointF GetAbsolutePoint( 
   PointF relative
)

Parameters

relative

A PointF structure.
Relative position in %

Return Value

A PointF object that uses absolute coordinates.

Returns a PointF object that utilizes absolute coordinates. Custom drawing, accomplished using GDI+, always uses absolute pixel coordinates.

Note that these absolute coordinates are always for the entire chart image.

This method could be used in conjunction with the GetPositionFromAxis method to draw custom items at a particular point in the chart image.

See the Chart Coordinate System topic for a detailed explanation concerning the Chart's coordinate system.

For an example of this method see the Custom Drawing Using the Paint Events topic (custom drawing for a 2D chart). To see this method used for 3D charts see the "Custom Drawing" section in the Working with 3D Charts topic.
