I am using the chart control inside of the Telerik Reporting Q1 2009.  The chart uses a tableadapter as its datasource.  Because this report is going to be printed in black and white, I would like to assign hatching to the different pie slices.  Is this possible? 

I have found that the styling of the pie is not very intuitive.  For instance, when I have the series fill style set to hatch, and the plot area set to solid, the series does not render hatched.

I you could provide an example, this would be appreciated.

Hi Richard,

You would need to set the Appearance of all items one by one as the pie chart has a bit different conception. While normally you can set the Appearance of a series and it would be applied to all items, a Pie chart uses a single series of data and that is why the different slices (items) all come with different color and is not inherited from the series Appearance.

Hi,

I'm creating a custom Theme and I want to set the color of my Pie chart slices in the chart.xaml file. Is it possible?
If not, where can I intercept this ? How is that done on Telerik Themes ?

Thank you.

Hi Nuno,

You can define your own Palette Brushes. Palette brushes can be defined in XAML the same way they are defined in the code behind. All you have to do is specify your desired colors like this:
<telerikChart:RadChart.PaletteBrushes>
    <SolidColorBrush Color="Green" />
    <SolidColorBrush Color="Orange" />
</telerikChart:RadChart.PaletteBrushes>
You can find more information on Palette brushes in this topic in our help system.

Kind regards,
