SetAppearance Method

Description

Sets the appearance of the chart.

Remarks

This method will load pre-set appearances for the chart to use. Appearances affect only the colors of the chart itself; they do not affect the series.

Below is the same diagram using two different appearances ("Black" and "Gray"). Notice how only the chart is affected; the series and legend remain unchanged:
