FillEffects Property

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
<DescriptionAttribute("Data series containing fill effects.")>
<CategoryAttribute("Data Series")>
Public Property FillEffects As DataSeries

'Usage
 
Dim instance As Appearance
Dim value As DataSeries
 
instance.FillEffects = value
 
value = instance.FillEffects

[Description("Data series containing fill effects.")]
[Category("Data Series")]
public DataSeries FillEffects {get; set;}

If the FillMode property is set to AppearanceFillMode.DataPoints, the component will iterate through the fill effects contained in this data series.

The following code adds red, green and blue solid color fill effects in the FillEffects data series, and instructs the bar series associated with it to cycle through it.

Thus the first bar will be displayed in red, the second in green, the third in blue, the fourth in red again and so on.

Visual Basic

bar.Appearance.FillMode = AppearanceFillMode.DataPoints
            bar.Appearance.FillEffects.Clear()
            
            Dim fe As FillEffect
            fe = New FillEffect(Color.Red)
            bar.Appearance.FillEffects.Add(fe)
            
            fe = New FillEffect(Color.Green)
            bar.Appearance.FillEffects.Add(fe)
            
            fe = New FillEffect(Color.Blue)
            bar.Appearance.FillEffects.Add(fe)

C#

bar.Appearance.FillMode = AppearanceFillMode.DataPoints;
bar.Appearance.FillEffects.Clear();

FillEffect fe;
fe = new FillEffect(Color.Red);
bar.Appearance.FillEffects.Add(fe);

fe = new FillEffect(Color.Green);
bar.Appearance.FillEffects.Add(fe);

fe = new FillEffect(Color.Blue);
bar.Appearance.FillEffects.Add(fe);
