Bubble Appearnce

[Allen]

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to best change the appearance of the bubbles that appear on my bubble chart.

I want it to display a simple flat 2D colour without the extra shiny gloss that makes it look like 3D.

I do not see any obvious property in

BubbleSeriesDefinition

or

PointMarkAppearanceSettings

As Setting the Fill in these settings still shows a gradient in the bubble when all I want is a simple flat solid colour.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Allen,

I think you should be able to use an implicit style targeting the Bubble and removing the mask from the template:

<Style TargetType="telerikCharting:Bubble">
 <Setter Property="Template" >
  <Setter.Value>
   <ControlTemplate TargetType="telerikCharting:Bubble">
    <Canvas RenderTransformOrigin="{TemplateBinding RelativeCenterPoint}" x:Name="PART_MainContainer">
     <Path x:Name="PART_BubbleElement"
      Data="{TemplateBinding ItemGeometry}"
      Style="{TemplateBinding ItemStyle}" />
     <Canvas.RenderTransform>
      <ScaleTransform x:Name="PART_AnimationTransform" ScaleX="0" ScaleY="0" />

Thanks that worked.

Do you have any recommendations to changes the initial size of the largest bubble?

By default it occupies one unit of the X-Axis.

Thanks

Hi Allen,

Have you examined the properties of the BubbleSeriesDefinition? I think that the CustomScaleFactor property will be a nice fit for your requirements.
