Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v19.1.dll

Declaration

C#

[XtraChartsLocalizableCategory(XtraChartsCategory.Appearance)]
[XtraSerializableProperty]
public Color Color { get; set; }

VB.NET

<XtraChartsLocalizableCategory(XtraChartsCategory.Appearance)>
<XtraSerializableProperty>
Public Property Color As Color

Property Value

Type	Description
Color	A Color structure that specifies the color of the series.

Remarks

Use the Color property to specifies the series’ color. Note that this color can affect the appearance of all the series elements (such as series labels or data point markers, for instance) if their colors are not defined explicitly.

Example

This example demonstrates how to individually set the color of auto-created series at runtime. To accomplish this, the ChartControl.BoundDataChanged event should be handled in the following way.

C#

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using DevExpress.XtraCharts;
// ...

private void chartControl1_BoundDataChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    for(int i = 0; i < chartControl1.Series.Count; i++) {
        BarSeriesView view = (BarSeriesView)chartControl1.Series[i].View;
        view.Color = Color.Blue;
        view.FillStyle.FillMode = FillMode.Gradient;
        ((GradientFillOptionsBase)view.FillStyle.Options).Color2 = Color.Beige;
    }
}

VB.NET

Imports System
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports DevExpress.XtraCharts
' ...

Private Sub chartControl1_BoundDataChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) _ 
Handles chartControl1.BoundDataChanged
    For i As Integer = 0 To chartControl1.Series.Count - 1
        Dim view As BarSeriesView = CType(chartControl1.Series(i).View, BarSeriesView)
        view.Color = Color.Blue
        view.FillStyle.FillMode = FillMode.Gradient
        CType(view.FillStyle.Options, GradientFillOptionsBase).Color2 = Color.Beige
    Next i
End Sub
