Ambient Property (FillEffect)

The ambient color of the FillEffectBase.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property Ambient As Color

'Usage
 
Dim instance As FillEffect
Dim value As Color
 
instance.Ambient = value
 
value = instance.Ambient

public Color Ambient {get; set;}

Remarks

The ambient color of the material attached to the fill effect. Note that the SetSolidColor function will always synchronize the value of the Ambient color with the Diffuse color of the material.

Example

The following example sets a grey color to the left chart wall but modifies the ambient material color additionally because it was modified by the SetSolidColor function. As a result the wall will appear brighter when you turn on lighting.

Visual Basic

Dim chart As Chart = CType((ChartControl.Charts(0)), Chart)
Dim fillEffect As FillEffectBase =  chart.Wall(ChartWallType.Left).FillEffect 
fillEffect.SetSolidColor(Color.Gray)
fillEffect.Ambient = Color.White

Chart chart = (Chart)(ChartControl.Charts[0]);
FillEffectBase fillEffect = chart.Wall(ChartWallType.Left).FillEffect;
fillEffect.SetSolidColor(Color.Gray);
fillEffect.Ambient = Color.White;

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
