Specular Property (FillEffect)

The specular color of the FillEffectBase.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property Specular As Color

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

public Color Specular {get; set;}

Remarks

By default the specular color is set to White. This ensures that objects will appear brighter when the angle of the light from a particular light source and the normal vector of the surface decreases (or drops to zero). If you want to reduce this effect for a particular scene element you may consider changing this property.

Example

The following example diminishes the specular component of the left chart wall.

Visual Basic

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

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