When released with the Treemap control be usable in a traditional WPF (3.5) app? i.e. Is it using any SL specific namespaces or will taking the source from the toolkit and getting it running in a WPF app be a piece of cake?

Thanks

gduncan411,

It will run under WPF if you recompile; I did this as part of my testing. I'll have more details on this soon on my blog after I do my own introductory post:

Thanks for your patience!

Is it time to start considering splitting the Toolkit into multiple assemblies? I consider TreeMap a very low use control, I'm not sure it makes sense to combine it in the main assembly with other, much more commonly used, controls.

Kevin,

The Silverlight Toolkit already comes in multiple assemblies. :) TreeMap has been added to the System.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.dll assembly alongside the Charting stuff that was already there. This seems like a pretty good place for it - and means that people who are using Toolkit controls in other assemblies don't pay any price for the new TreeMap control.

Hope this helps!

Hi!

If I want something like this,

Losses > 0 & Losses <= 2 , then Green

Losses > 2 & Losses <= 4 , then Red

Losses > 4 & Losses <= 6 , then Orange & so on….

Can I set like this, with this one –

<datavis:TreeMap.Interpolators>

<datavis:SolidColorBrushInterpolator TargetName="itemBorder" TargetProperty="Background"

DataRangeBinding="{Binding Losses}" From="Orange" To="Orange" />

</datavis:TreeMap.Interpolators>

Can I bind the Range from above, with DataRangeBinding="{Binding Weightage}" & how? This will solve my issue, then I can use the same color for From="Orange" To="Orange" & get my results.

It will be better, if I can manage this in Xaml, as well as in C#.

Thanks in advance.

With a bare SolidColorBrushInterpolator you can't do it as it interpolates using sRGB. However it is extremely simple to write your own interpolator. You can do it yourself - you need just a couple lines of code - check SolidColorBrushInterpolator implementation. I'll also publish a sample this week on my blog.

IS it possible to bind the From color and To color to a view model. I get a bad property exception i f try the following code.

<datavis:SolidColorBrushInterpolator x:Name="ColorInterpolator" From="{Binding FromColor, Mode=OneWay}" To="Blue"...

How can I change the interpolation colors at runtime?
