Take Off Border For Plot Area

[Jason Van Dusen]

I would like to make the border for the plot area of my chart transparent except for the bottom.  Is this possible with Q3?  I was able to do this with Q2.  The value I am trying to change is under:

- PlotArea
   - Appearance
           -Border
               Color = Transaparent

In the previous version of the controls you could set each side individually.  It looks like Q3 only lets you set the entire border.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jason,

I am afraid RadChart does not support separate colors for each border. Actually, I am a bit puzzled by your question, as this was not support in Q2 release either. Can you please double-check that?

I don't need to change the color.  I just need to turn off the border on the left, right and top of the chart and leave the border under the bars.  Is this possible?

Hi Jason,

I am sorry if my answer was somewhat unclear. The borders in RadChart cannot be treated separately, that is you can only turn them on/off or set their Color, Width or PenStyle together but not one by one.

In this specific case you can turn all the borders off and use the X axis to show a line under the bars. Here is an example:

<telerik:RadChart ID="RadChart1" runat="server">
            <PlotArea>
                <XAxis>
                    <Appearance Color="Red" Width="2" />
                </XAxis>
                <Appearance>
                    <Border Visible="False" />
                </Appearance>
            </PlotArea>
