BackgroundColor Property

Description

Gets/sets the background color of the diagram.

Property Type

Read-write property

Syntax (Visual Basic)

Public Property BackgroundColor() As ULong

Return Type

Gets/sets the background color of the diagram.

Remarks

If the diagram is using a gradient fill style, the fill will consist of two colors; this is the color for the first color. If no gradient is used, then BackgroundColor is the only color used to color the background.

Note: Interlacing for the axis is on by default, and it will color alternating columns. Therefore, you must also change its color or hide it if you want the entire diagram to use the same background color.

The diagram below shows a custom background color, solid fill style, and interlacing turned off:
