IChartSerieBase.Background

Syntax

Description

The Background property determines fill options for a data series.

Comments

Fill type is determined by the Type property. For each fill type there is a corresponding set of properties of the IChartBackgroundInfo interface.

Fill type application is limited by chart types described in the ChartBackgroundType enumeration.

Example

Executing the example requires a histogram in regular report with the REGULAR_REPORT identifier. Add links to the Chart, Drawing, Metabase, Report, Tab system assemblies.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    Report: IPrxReport;
    Sheet: ITabSheet;
    Chart: IChart;
    Serie: IChartSerie;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    Report := MB.ItemById("REGULAR_REPORT").Edit As IPrxReport;
    Sheet := (Report.Sheets.Item(0) As IPrxTable).TabSheet;
    Chart := Sheet.Objects.Item(0).Extension As IChart;
    Serie := Chart.Series.Item(0);
    Serie.Background.Type := ChartBackgroundType.Gradient;
    Serie.Background.Color := GxColor.FromName("Red");
    Serie.Background.GradientColor := GxColor.FromName("Yellow");
    (Report As IMetabaseObject).Save;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example the chart series is filled with red and yellow gradient.
