OutOfLimitsPointSymbol property

Use the OutOfLimitsPointSymbol property to specify the shape to be used for sample points that violate a control rule. To specify the size of the shape, see OutOfLimitsPointSymbolSize property.

The following figure points to an example alarm point using a star shape.

Valid shape values are:

• Circle

• Cross

• Diamond

• DownTriangle

• HorizontalBar

• Line

• Plus

• Square

• Star

• UpTriangle

• VerticalBar

This is a design-time and a run-time property. However, changing the value will not update the chart until the next time the chart is refreshed or the DisplayChart() method is called.

The symbol used to plot a data point in the chart is a fixed color circle. If the alarm highlighting for chart symbols is turned on (the default; see ColorPointsInAlarm property), the shape of a sample point that violates a control rule will change to the shape defined by this property.

Example code for setting this property is:

SpcChartControl1.OutOfLimitsPointSymbol = FactMES.Controls.SymbolType.Star;

You cannot set this property to Null.
