Can you set a background for your plotarea?

[Joel]

So i have my background set to a specific color, but I alway want to be able to overlay a png with transparent setction.

If I just need to be able to use the chart as a background I'd use the imagebrush for the background and be done with it.

Is there a way I can set the background to a color AND have a background image?

Hi Joel,

I am not sure what is your goal, that is why it would be very helpful if you send us an image showing the desired look. You can set background (image or color) to the RadChart and the ChartArea. So you can set an image as background of your RadChart and background color for the ChartArea.

Here is an example:

<telerikChart:RadChart x:Name="RadChart1" Background="Yellow">
            <telerikChart:RadChart.DefaultView>
                <telerikCharting:ChartDefaultView>
                    <telerikCharting:ChartDefaultView.ChartArea>
                        <telerikCharting:ChartArea Legend="{Binding ElementName=Legend1}" Background="#99FFFFFF" />
                    </telerikCharting:ChartDefaultView.ChartArea>
                    <telerikCharting:ChartDefaultView.ChartLegend>
                        <telerikCharting:ChartLegend x:Name="Legend1" />
                    </telerikCharting:ChartDefaultView.ChartLegend>
                </telerikCharting:ChartDefaultView>
            </telerikChart:RadChart.DefaultView>
 </telerikChart:RadChart>

I hope this helps.
