Hello,
I just recently started using Telerik controls for WPF and to be honest have found the documentation to be quite disorganized. It seems that everything wants to take you back to the demo project, which offers nothing but a sample of what the control CAN do, not how to do it, weird.....anyways, I am trying to do something very simple, which is to change the colors of the bars on a bar graph, or more generally, the colors of the lines on any type of graph. I have the graph working, it is data bound, and it looks great, but the default color of the bars make the graph blend in too much to the rest of the interface. Any suggestions? It seems like is should be a simple property of the graph, but I cannot find it.

Hi Greg Sipes,
We are really sorry to hear that you find our documentation disorganized and not helpful enough. We are constantly making efforts to improve the existing documents and put new articles online and we hope that you will notice the progress over the time.
The fastest way to define custom colors for your visual series is to populate the RadChart.PaletteBrushes collection with as many brushes as you need. These will be automatically applied to the visual series in the order you have added them to the collection. Here is the sample code:
Here you can find more information on this matter.
Hope this will help.
Sincerely yours,
Velin
