I would like to color in the background of my chart with multiple background colors. Basically, I want a light green/yellow/red as the panel background, depending on the value of a line series.

Is this possible?

Hi Patrick,

yes, you can set a Gradient color for the Panel.

Code: Select all

tChart1.Panel.Gradient.StartColor = Color.Blue;
tChart1.Panel.Gradient.MiddleColor = Color.Green;
tChart1.Panel.Gradient.EndColor= Color.Red;
tChart1.Panel.Gradient.Visible = true;

That won't work. I need something that varies based on the value of a line series. In other words, it could be red/green/yellow/red/yellow/red/green etc. After looking over the documentation, I have come to the conclusion that this is not possible, and I will have to take another approach.

Hi Patrick,

maybe you can use the GridBand tool ? or ColorBand Tool ?
