Use a thicker line or even a double line?

[Danny Scheelings]

Hi,

I want to change the Style used for the Chart Line using my own Style (i.e. <Style x:Key="TrendLine" TargetType="telerikCharting:Line">).
Is it possible to make the line thicker than the normal thickness? Or make the line a double line?

Thx,
Danny

OK, I found out how to create a thicker line:

series.Definition.Appearance.Stroke = 4;

But, does anybody know how to create a double line?

Thx,
Danny

Hello Danny,

You can  create a custom Style to show line as Dotted or Dashed. Here is how you can specify a Dashed Line:

<Style x:Name="DottedLineStyle1" TargetType="telerikCharting:SelfDrawingSeries">
                <Setter Property="BorderLineStyle">
                    <Setter.Value>
                        <Style TargetType="Path">
                            <Setter Property="StrokeDashArray" Value="1"/>
                            <Setter Property="Stroke" Value="Black" />
                            <Setter Property="StrokeThickness" Value="3" />
                        </Style>
                    </Setter.Value>
                </Setter>
            </Style>

Note the StrokeThickness property setter -- this allows you to specify the line thickness.

Hi Evgenia,

Thanks for your reply, but is there also a way to create 2 lines in stead of 1, so a double line?

Thx,
Danny

Hi Danny,

You can find a sample project attached that creates "double line" via retemplating the default Line style and Transforming the Line by Y with Value -8 for example. Note that I changed the default Line Fill, Stroke and StrokeThickness so that they are same as the properties defined in the Style.
The example is made via ObservableCollection but is not co-related to the styling. You can populate Line series as you like.
I hope this gets you started properly.

Sincerely yours,
