When the main form initially loads, this is when our main initialization process begins. Let's walk through this method and talk about what exactly happens. In this method we are concerned with three-dimensional chart initialization.

First, we establish some general parameters for the chart:

// setup chart general parameters
NChart m_Chart = nChartControl2.Charts[0];
m_Chart.Enable3D = true;
m_Chart.Width = 60;
m_Chart.Height = 25;
m_Chart.Depth = 45;
m_Chart.Projection.Type = ProjectionType.Perspective;
m_Chart.Projection.Elevation = 28;
m_Chart.Projection.Rotation = -17;
m_Chart.LightModel.SetPredefinedLightModel(PredefinedLightModel.GlitterLeft);

Next, we handle showing our interlaced strip on the back-left wall:

// add interlaced stripe to the Y axis
NScaleStripStyle stripStyle = new NScaleStripStyle(new NColorFillStyle(Color.Beige), null, true, 0, 0, 1, 1);
stripStyle.SetShowAtWall(ChartWallType.Back, true);
stripStyle.SetShowAtWall(ChartWallType.Left, true);
stripStyle.Interlaced = true;
((NStandardScaleConfigurator)m_Chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryY).ScaleConfigurator).StripStyles.Add(stripStyle);

Finally, we handle showing our x axis gridlines like this:

// show the X axis gridlines
NOrdinalScaleConfigurator ordinalScale = m_Chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryX).ScaleConfigurator as NOrdinalScaleConfigurator;
ordinalScale.MajorGridStyle.SetShowAtWall(ChartWallType.Back, true);
ordinalScale.MajorGridStyle.SetShowAtWall(ChartWallType.Floor, true);
