RadChart - can I set a style for brushes in PaletteBrushes

[Krzysztof]

Hello,

I have a flollowing problem in the RadChart control. I've defined brushes like this  

                    <telerik:RadChart.PaletteBrushes>
                        <SolidColorBrush Color="Green" />
                        <SolidColorBrush Color="Gray" />
                        <SolidColorBrush Color="Orange" />
                    </telerik:RadChart.PaletteBrushes>

which works fine,but I wanted to reuse this in many places if possible. How can I do it?

Alternatively can I set a Brush for each slice via Binding? My viewmodel for the slice has a Brush property let's say MyBrush. Is there a way to bind it in a series definition?

 

Thanks in advance!

Krzysztof

Hi Jon,

Thank you for contacting us.

Let me start with that RadChart is our old charting component which has many known issues and limitation. Some of them are resolved in our new RadChartView suite which also have a better implementation and improved performance. The new charts are also quite flexible and easier to set up. You can read about the differences between the components in the RadChart vs. RadChartView help article. 

I recommend you to give the new chart a try and let me know if it works for you. In addition, you can see the following resources that could be useful for your scenario.

• PieSeries
• DoughtnutSeries
• Customizing PieChart Series
• Binding the Color of Series Items
• Create Data-Bound Chart
