    SetGradient Method
    In This Topic
    Use this function to apply a gradient fill effect. Note that this function will also change the current Mapping.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
 
Public Sub SetGradient( _
   ByVal gradientStyle As GradientStyle, _
   ByVal gradientVariant As GradientVariant, _
   ByVal beginColor As Color, _
   ByVal endColor As Color _
) 
    'Usage
 
Dim instance As FillEffect
Dim gradientStyle As GradientStyle
Dim gradientVariant As GradientVariant
Dim beginColor As Color
Dim endColor As Color
 
instance.SetGradient(gradientStyle, gradientVariant, beginColor, endColor)
    public void SetGradient( 
   GradientStyle gradientStyle,
   GradientVariant gradientVariant,
   Color beginColor,
   Color endColor
)

    Parameters

    gradientStyle
    The style of the gradient
    gradientVariant
    The variant of the specified gradient style
    beginColor
    The begin color of the gradient.
    endColor
    The end color of the gradient.
    Remarks
    Use this function if you want to apply a gradient fill effect. The function will change the Type, GradientStyle, GradientVariant, BeginColor and EndColor properties of the FillEffectBase. It will also replace the current FillEffectMapping object with a texture mapper with stretched layout type and object linear map mode. For more information see the topics under the "Fill Effects" book in the Users Guide.
    Example
    The following example sets a gradient to the left chart wall: 
    Dim chart As Chart = CType((ChartControl1.Charts(0)), Chart)
Dim fillEffect As FillEffectBase =  chart.Wall(ChartWallType.Left).FillEffect 
fillEffect.SetGradient(GradientStyle.DiagonalDown, GradientVariant.Variant1, Color.Beige, Color.AntiqueWhite)
    Chart chart = (Chart)(ChartControl1.Charts[0]);
FillEffectBase fillEffect = chart.Wall(ChartWallType.Left).FillEffect;
fillEffect.SetGradient(GradientStyle.DiagonalDown, GradientVariant.Variant1, Color.Beige, Color.AntiqueWhite);
