changing line color in a ScatterSeriesDescriptor.Style

[Don]

How do I change the line color of a chart series when using a ChartSeriesProvider?

If I'm not using the ChartSeriesProvider, then I do this by setting the "Stroke" property,
as illustrated here.  This works:

<telerik:ScatterLineSeries Name="HeadSeries"

    ItemsSource="{Binding Path=DataPoints}"

    XValueBinding="FlowRate"

    YValueBinding="Head"

    PointTemplate="{StaticResource HeadPointTemplate}"

    Stroke="CornflowerBlue">

</telerik:ScatterLineSeries>




However, if use the ChartSeriesProvider, the following snippet does not change the line color.

<telerik:ScatterSeriesDescriptor ItemsSourcePath="Item"

   XValuePath="FlowRate"

   YValuePath="Head">

  <telerik:ScatterSeriesDescriptor.Style>

    <Style TargetType="telerik:ScatterLineSeries">

      <Setter Property="PointTemplate" Value="{StaticResource HeadPointTemplate}" />

      <Setter Property="Stroke" Value="CornflowerBlue" />

    </Style>

  </telerik:ScatterSeriesDescriptor.Style>

</telerik:ScatterSeriesDescriptor>

Hi Don,

Setting the Stroke property like this works on my end, however all the series generated by this descriptor have the same stroke. I would suggest using a palette or creating a custom one as shown in this help topic.

It turns out that I had a 'Palette="Metro"' declaration that is not shown in the snippets that interfered with Stroke setter.

<telerik:RadCartesianChart Name="chart" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Palette="Metro" >

When I took that declaration out, then the setter property in the ScatterSeriesDescriptor Style worked as expected.

<telerik:RadCartesianChart Name="chart" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" >

With the Pallete not set in the chart declaration, the Stoke setter property in the style is not ignored.

<telerik:ScatterSeriesDescriptor ItemsSourcePath="Item"
                                  XValuePath="FlowRate"
                                  YValuePath="Head">
   <telerik:ScatterSeriesDescriptor.Style>
     <Style TargetType="telerik:ScatterLineSeries">
       <Setter Property="PointTemplate" Value="{StaticResource HeadPointTemplate}" />
       <Setter Property="Stroke" Value="CornflowerBlue" />
     </Style>
   </telerik:ScatterSeriesDescriptor.Style>
 </telerik:ScatterSeriesDescriptor>
