Xceed Chart for WinForms v4.4 Documentation
HatchStyle Property
Example 


Xceed.Chart.Standard.v4.4 Assembly > Xceed.Chart.Standard Namespace > FillEffect Class : HatchStyle Property
The pattern type of the fill effect.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property HatchStyle As HatchStyle
 
'Usage
 
Dim instance As FillEffect

Dim value As HatchStyle

 

instance.HatchStyle = value

 

value = instance.HatchStyle
Remarks
Xceed Chart for WinForms supports 48 pattern types which you may be familiar with if you worked with the Excel build-in chart. Patterns are internally rendered as textures. It is recommended to apply patterns by using the SetPattern function because it will also assign a proper texture mapper.
Example
The following example applies a pattern to the background. Note that we used the SynchronizeMappingWithType to apply a texture mapper appropriate for the pattern filling type. 
Dim chart As Chart = CType((m_ChartControl.Charts(0)), Chart)

Dim fillEffect As FillEffectBase =  m_ChartControl.Background.FillEffect 

fillEffect.Type = FillEffectType.Pattern

fillEffect.HatchStyle = HatchStyle.DarkDownwardDiagonal

fillEffect.BeginColor = Color.AliceBlue

fillEffect.BeginColor = Color.BlanchedAlmond

fillEffect.SynchronizeMappingWithType()
Chart chart = (Chart)(m_ChartControl.Charts[0]);

FillEffectBase fillEffect = m_ChartControl.Background.FillEffect;

fillEffect.Type = FillEffectType.Pattern;

fillEffect.HatchStyle = HatchStyle.DarkDownwardDiagonal;

fillEffect.BeginColor = Color.AliceBlue;

fillEffect.BeginColor = Color.BlanchedAlmond;

fillEffect.SynchronizeMappingWithType();
