BackgroundColor2 Property

Description

Gets/sets the second background color of the diagram.

Property Type

Read-write property

Syntax (Visual Basic)

Public Property BackgroundColor2() As ULong

Return Type

Returns the second background color of the diagram.

Remarks

If the diagram is using a gradient fill style, the fill will consist of two colors; this property represents the second 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 will color alternating columns. 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, gradient fill style, and interlacing turned off:

Diagram.BackgroundFillStyle.FillMode = xtpChartFillGradient  
Diagram.BackgroundFillStyle.GradientAngle = xtpChartGradientBottomRightToTopLeft  
Diagram.AxisX.Interlaced = False
