The Sunburst control includes a number of features that make it efficient and useful for creating professional-looking applications.
- Doughnut Sunburst chart: Create a doughnut Sunburst chart by setting the InnerRadius property that has a default value of zero. Setting this property to a value greater than zero creates a hole in the middle, thereby creating the doughnut Sunburst chart.
- Exploded Sunburst chart: Create an exploded Sunburst chart by setting the Offset property that has a default value of zero. Setting the property pushes the slices away from the center of Sunburst chart, thereby producing the exploded Sunburst chart.
- Reversed Sunburst chart: Create a reversed Sunburst chart by setting the Reversed property that has False as the default value. Setting the property to True creates the reversed Sunburst chart that contains angles drawn in the counter-clockwise direction.
- Start angle: Set the start angle by setting the StartAngle property that accepts values of the double type. A start angle is the angle that is set in degrees to start drawing Sunburst slices in the clockwise direction. The default value is the 9 o'clock position.
- Palette: Use different color palettes to make Sunburst chart more appealing and presentable. To specify the chart palette, set the Palette property that lets you specify an array of default colors to be used when rendering slices. The property accepts values from the Palette enumeration.
