Ambient Property (FillEffect)

The ambient color of the FillEffectBase.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property Ambient As Color

'Usage
 
Dim instance As FillEffect

Dim value As Color

 

instance.Ambient = value

 

value = instance.Ambient

public Color Ambient {get; set;}

Remarks

The ambient color of the material attached to the fill effect. Note that the SetSolidColor function will always synchronize the value of the Ambient color with the Diffuse color of the material.

Example

The following example sets a grey color to the left chart wall but modifies the ambient material color additionally because it was modified by the SetSolidColor function. As a result the wall will appear brighter when you turn on lighting.

Visual Basic

Dim chart As Chart = CType((ChartControl.Charts(0)), Chart)

Dim fillEffect As FillEffectBase =  chart.Wall(ChartWallType.Left).FillEffect 

fillEffect.SetSolidColor(Color.Gray)

fillEffect.Ambient = Color.White

Chart chart = (Chart)(ChartControl.Charts[0]);

FillEffectBase fillEffect = chart.Wall(ChartWallType.Left).FillEffect;

fillEffect.SetSolidColor(Color.Gray);

fillEffect.Ambient = Color.White;

Requirements
