    DoublePassBlending Property
    In This Topic
    Whether or not to render antialiased lines in transparent polygons in a single pass.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
 
<CategoryAttribute("General")>
<DescriptionAttribute("Whether or not to render antialiased lines in transparent polygons in a single pass.")>
<DefaultValueAttribute(False)>
Public Property DoublePassBlending As Boolean
    'Usage
 
Dim instance As Settings
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.DoublePassBlending = value
 
value = instance.DoublePassBlending
    [Category("General")]
[Description("Whether or not to render antialiased lines in transparent polygons in a single pass.")]
[DefaultValue(false)]
public bool DoublePassBlending {get; set;}
    Remarks
    Line antialiasing requires the blending feature of OpenGL to be enabled. This is why when you have transparent objects (that also use blending) they are both drawn in the same rendering pass. This sometimes may be undesirable because the line intensity will not be influences if they are overlapped by a transparent object. To correct this you may consider to use double pass blending when the control renders the transparent polygons and lines separately.
    Example
    The following code turns on the double pass blending: 
    ChartControl1.Settings.EnableAntialiasing = False
ChartControl1.Settings.DoublePassBlending = True
    ChartControl1.Settings.EnableAntialiasing = false;
ChartControl1.Settings.DoublePassBlending = true;
