Chart Series Legend Color not matching with series color

[kevin yang]

Hi,

In my chart ( type StackedBar ), I change my chart series filled color programmtically, the StackedBars colors display fine for each series, but somehow, the corresponding series Legend color is not displaying the same color.  Do I have to set the color for each series legend  or  anything I am missing..

here is my code

Telerik.Reporting.Processing.

Chart chart = sender as Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Chart;

 

Telerik.Reporting.

Chart defChart = chart.ItemDefinition as Telerik.Reporting.Chart;

 

defChart.SeriesPalette =

"";

 

 

int arrayPos = 0;

 

 

foreach (string s in _reporterTypeList)

 

{

 

   ChartSeries serie = new ChartSeries();

 

   serie.Type =

ChartSeriesType.StackedBar;

 

   serie.Clear();

   serie.Name = s;

 

   serie.Appearance.LegendDisplayMode = Telerik.Reporting.Charting.

ChartSeriesLegendDisplayMode.SeriesName;

 

   for (int year = 4; year >= 0; year--)

 

   {

 

      // Define the items in the series

 

      serie.AddItem(_countByReporterTypeYearly[arrayPos, 4 - year]);

 

      serie.Items[serie.Items.Count - 1].Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = _serieColors[arrayPos];

 

   }

 

   defChart.Series.Add(serie);

   arrayPos++;

 

}


Any help,

thankls

Hello Kevin

I can see that you set the color for each individual ChartSeriesItem. This color is not shown in the legend as it is possible that you set different colors for different items in the same series. However, it seems you use the same color for all the items within one ChartSeries. In this case, you may remove the line that sets the color for individual items and configure the chart series i.e. remove this line form the inner loop:

serie.Items[serie.Items.Count - 1].Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = _serieColors[arrayPos];

and add this one to the outer loop:

serie.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = _serieColors[arrayPos];
