    Factor Property
    In This Topic
    A multiplier for each bit in the line stipple pattern.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
 
Public Property Factor As Integer
     
    'Usage
 
Dim instance As LineProperties
Dim value As Integer
 
instance.Factor = value
 
value = instance.Factor
    Remarks
    The Pattern and Factor properties define the line by working together to define whether a certain pixel from the line should be drawn or not. If factor is 3, for example, each bit in the pattern will be used three times before the next bit in the pattern is used. The factor parameter is clamped to the range [1, 256] and defaults to one. The values of the LinePattern enumeration actually represent 16-bit integers whose bit pattern determines which fragments of a line will be drawn when the line is rasterized.
    Example
    The following example shows how to define a custom pattern and modify the factor. 
    Dim chart As Chart = ChartControl.Charts.GetAt(0) 
Dim bar As BarSeries = CType(chart.Series.Add(SeriesType.Bar), BarSeries)

bar.Add(10, "Apples")
bar.Add(20, "Oranges")
bar.Add(30, "Bananas")
bar.Add(25, "Tomatoes")
bar.Add(29, "Cucumbers")

bar.Appearance.LineMode = AppearanceLineMode.Series
bar.BarBorder.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Black
bar.BarBorder.Pattern = CType(0x8888, LinePattern)
bar.BarBorder.Factor = 3
    Chart chart = ChartControl.Charts.GetAt(0);
BarSeries bar = (BarSeries)chart.Series.Add(SeriesType.Bar);

bar.Add(10, "Apples");
bar.Add(20, "Oranges");
bar.Add(30, "Bananas");
bar.Add(25, "Tomatoes");
bar.Add(29, "Cucumbers");

bar.Appearance.LineMode = AppearanceLineMode.Series;
bar.BarBorder.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
bar.BarBorder.Pattern = (LinePattern)0x8888;
bar.BarBorder.Factor = 3;
