To remove chart border or plotarea border

[Nirav]

Hello Guys,

I am programmatically generating the chart using the below code and while doing so i am getting unexpected border on Right and Bottom side of the chart [refer the attachment] so can you please give us an idea about how to remove those border?

i have already searched a lot about it and tried following options,

Chart.Appearance.Border.Visible = false;
Chart.Appearance.Border.Color = Color.Transparent; // or Color.White

Chart.PlotArea.Appearance.Border.Visible = false;
Chart.PlotArea.Appearance.Border.Color = Color.Transparent; // or Color.White

even tried to set the Border thickness to zero but still getting the border so please let us help to remove the border at the earliest.

Refer actual code below if needed,

Telerik.Reporting.Chart defChart = new Telerik.Reporting.Chart();
                        defChart.BitmapResolution = 96F;
                        defChart.ChartTitle.TextBlock.Text = departmentName;
                        defChart.ChartTitle.TextBlock.Appearance.TextProperties.Font = new System.Drawing.Font(new FontFamily("Segoe UI"), 10.0f, FontStyle.Regular);
                        defChart.ChartTitle.Appearance.Position.Auto = false;

Hello Nirav,

 You'll need to hide the PlotArea border by turning off its visibility:

RadChart1.PlotArea.Appearance.Border.Visible = false;

Hello Evgenia,

Thanks for the answer but i have already tried disabling the border of plot area but it still shows the border and i have also mentioned the codes [first code snippet] which is already tried.

so can you please tell me what could be other scenario causing this problem?

Regards,
Nirav

Hello Nirav,

On a second glance it looks to me that these unwanted borders are actually the Axes of the Chart. Could you try and tweak the PlotArea -> XAxis / YAxis -> Appearance properties so that you either reduce their thickness or modify their Color?
