Problems Changing Colours on Stacked Area 100% Graphs

[Craig]

I've tried using the following code to change the colour of one of the series areas and it doesn't work.

ChartSeriesType

 

chartType = aPercentage ? ChartSeriesType.StackedArea100 : ChartSeriesType.Area;

ChartSeries

 

freeSeries = new ChartSeries("Series 1", chartType);

 

freeSeries.Appearance.LegendDisplayMode =

ChartSeriesLegendDisplayMode.SeriesName;

 

freeSeries.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor =

Color.Green;

I've also tried doing the following, and this doesn't work either:

 

ChartSeriesItem

 

free = new ChartSeriesItem(cd.FreeEntry);

 

free.Label.Visible =

false;

 

free.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor =

Color.Green;

 

freeSeries.AddItem(free);

Please could someone point me in the right direction.

Many thanks, Craig.

Hi Craig,

The code you have supplied seems to work correctly for me. Indeed, the result is a bit weird as by default the FillStyle is gradient, so RadChart shows a gradient fill, composed by the green color (as set) and the default second color (some light blue). To fix this I added this line:

freeSeries.Appearance.FillStyle.FillType = Telerik.Charting.Styles.FillType.Solid;

You can find my test page attached.

Hi,

thanks. I actually managed to resolve the issue using the following code:

ColorBlend

 

[] seriesColors =

 

 

new ColorBlend[] {

 

 

 

new ColorBlend(new Color[] { Color.Red, Color.DarkRed}),

 

 

 

new ColorBlend(new Color[] { Color.Orange, Color.OrangeRed}),

 

 

 

new ColorBlend(new Color[] { Color.Yellow, Color.LightYellow}),

 

 

 

new ColorBlend(new Color[] { Color.Green, Color.LimeGreen}),

 

 

 

new ColorBlend(new Color[] { Color.LightGreen, Color.White})};

 

 

 

 

Palette seriesPalette = new Palette("seriesPalette", seriesColors);

 

aChart.CustomPalettes.Add(seriesPalette);

aChart.SeriesPalette =

 

"seriesPalette";
