SetTwoColorGradient Method
Fills the specified ChInterior object with a two-color gradient.
expression.SetTwoColorGradient(GradientStyle, GradientVariant, Color, BackColor)
expression Required. An expression that returns a ChInterior object.
GradientStyle Required ChartGradientStyleEnum. The gradient style.
| ChartGradientStyleEnum can be one of these ChartGradientStyleEnum constants. |
| chGradientDiagonalDown |
| chGradientDiagonalUp |
| chGradientFromCenter |
| chGradientFromCorner |
| chGradientHorizontal |
| chGradientVertical |
GradientVariant Required ChartGradientVariantEnum. The gradient variant. If GradientStyle is chGradientFromCenter, the GradientVariant argument can only be chGradientVariantStart or chGradientVariantEnd.
| ChartGradientVariantEnum can be one of these ChartGradientVariantEnum constants. |
| chGradientVariantCenter |
| chGradientVariantEdges |
| chGradientVariantEnd |
| chGradientVariantStart |
Color Optional Variant. The foreground color of the gradient. You can use either a Long value representing a red-green-blue color value or a String value naming a valid HTML color value. In Microsoft Visual Basic, you can use the RGB function to create a red-green-blue color value (for example, red is RGB(255,0,0)). If omitted, the Color property is used to determine the foreground color.
BackColor Optional Variant. The background color of the gradient. You can use either a Long value representing a red-green-blue color value or a String value naming a valid HTML color value. In Microsoft Visual Basic, you can use the RGB function to create a red-green-blue color value (for example, red is RGB(255,0,0)). If omitted, the BackColor property is used to determine the foreground color.
Example
This example sets the interior fill of the first two series and the plot area of the first chart in ChartSpace1.
Sub Format_Interior_Fills()
Dim chConstants
Dim serSeries1
Dim serSeries2
Set chConstants = ChartSpace1.Constants
Set serSeries1 = ChartSpace1.Charts(0).SeriesCollection(0)
Set serSeries2 = ChartSpace1.Charts(0).SeriesCollection(1)
' Set the interior fill of the first series to a two-color gradient.
serSeries1.Interior.SetTwoColorGradient chConstants.chGradientDiagonalDown, _
chConstants.chGradientVariantCenter, "Blue", "Silver"
' Set the interior fill of the second series to a solid color.
serSeries2.Interior.SetSolid "Purple"
' Set the interior fill of the plot area to a preset texture.
ChartSpace1.Charts(0).PlotArea.Interior.SetTextured _
chConstants.chTextureParchment, chConstants.chTile
