Description

By using the FillStyle() function, each data series can be assigned a separate fill color. Series, which are not explicitly assigned a fill style, are represented in one of the default fill colors, i.e. FillColorScheme(classic).

FILL_STYLE_01

1	OpenDrawing(250;150)
2	ChartData(3.8; 2.8; 2.2; 1.6; 0.9)
3	BarChart()
4	/* Set up styles. */
5	FillStyle(1;red;gray)
6	FillStyle(2;black;48)
7	FillStyle(3;darkRed)
8	FillStyle(4;gray;shaded)
9	FillStyle(5;#cbdb29;solid)
10	BorderStyle(all;none)
11	BorderStyle(1;;1;red)
12	BorderStyle(2;;1;gray)
13	/* Set up axes. */
14	AxisLine(all;0)
15	AxisMajorTicks(all;0)
16	/* Set up grid. */
17	MajorGridLineWidths(x;y;0.25)
18	MajorGridLineWidths(y;x;0)
19	CloseDrawing()

FILL_STYLE_02

1	OpenDrawing(200;200)
2	ChartData(35 23 13 9 5 3)
3	PieChart(label;0;50;90)
4	/* Set up styles. */
5	FillStyle(1;darkRed;darkGray)
6	FillStyle(2;black;gray)
7	FillStyle(3;black;lightGray)
8	FillStyle(4;black;13)
9	FillStyle(5;black;48)
10	FillStyle(6;black;53)
11	BorderStyle(all;;1;#888)
12	LabelStyle(1;Verdana;10;plain;#333)
13	CloseDrawing()

If no series index is defined or if seriesIndex = all is set, all series are assigned the same fill style.

FILL_STYLE_03

1	OpenDrawing(200;200)
2	ChartData(35 23 13 9 5 3)
3	PieChart(label;0;50;90)
4	/* Set up styles. */
5	FillStyle(all;none)
6	BorderStyle(all;;1;#888)
7	LabelStyle(1;Verdana;10;plain;#333)
8	CloseDrawing()

Starting with xmCHART 5 it is possible to assign an individual fill color to each partial task of a GanttChart() . For example:

FillStyle(2;red;solid; /* Partial task 1 of series 2, fill color: red. */

green;solid; /* Partial task 2 of series 2, fill color: green. */

blue;shaded) /* Partial task 3 of series 2, fill color: shaded blue. */

The additional color;colorVariant arguments in function FillStyle() are available only for Gantt charts and are ignored in combination with other chart types. All other style functions such as BorderStyle() , LabelStyle() , etc. have not been modified.

FILL_STYLE_04

1	OpenDrawing(250;150)
2	ChartData( 0 24 38 62 76 100;
3	10 58 70 94;
4	20 100)
5	GanttChart(label+horizontal+shadow;;15)
6	/* Set up styles. */
7	FillStyle(1;#005ca9;solid;darkRed;solid;darkGreen)
8	FillStyle(2;#00afef;solid;white;shaded)
9	FillStyle(3;#cbdb29)
10	BorderStyle(all;none)
11	ShadowStyle(all;2 2 5)
12	LabelStyle(1;;;bold;white)
13	/* Set up axes. */
14	ScalingOptions(y;on) /* y-scale top to bottom. */
15	AxisLine(all;0)
16	AxisMajorTicks(all;0)
17	/* Set up grid. */
18	MajorGridLineWidths(all;all;0)
19	MajorGridLineWidths(y;x;0)
20	MajorGridLineWidths(x;y;0.25)
21	CloseDrawing()
