    GradientVariant Property
    In This Topic
    The gradient variant of the FillEffectBase.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
 
Public Property GradientVariant As GradientVariant
    'Usage
 
Dim instance As FillEffect
Dim value As GradientVariant
 
instance.GradientVariant = value
 
value = instance.GradientVariant
    public GradientVariant GradientVariant {get; set;}
    Remarks
    Each gradient style has different sub variants. For example the horizontal gradient style has four variants that indicate how the control will merge the Color1 and Color2 properties. The possible values are Variant1, Variant2, Variant3, Variant4. The default value for this property is Variant1. All gradient styles support four variants except the FromCenter one which supports only two.
    Example
    The following example applies a black and white diagonal gradient of the right chart wall. 
    Dim chart As Chart = CType((ChartControl.Charts(0)), Chart)
Dim fillEffect As FillEffectBase =  chart.Wall(ChartWallType.Back).FillEffect 
fillEffect.Type = FillEffectType.Gradient
fillEffect.GradientStyle = GradientStyle.DiagonalDown
fillEffect.GradientVariant = GradientVariant.Variant1
fillEffect.BeginColor = Color.White
fillEffect.EndColor = Color.Black
    Chart chart = (Chart)(ChartControl.Charts[0]);
FillEffectBase fillEffect = chart.Wall(ChartWallType.Back).FillEffect;
fillEffect.Type = FillEffectType.Gradient;
fillEffect.GradientStyle = GradientStyle.DiagonalDown;
fillEffect.GradientVariant = GradientVariant.Variant1;
fillEffect.BeginColor = Color.White;
fillEffect.EndColor = Color.Black;
