    In This Topic

    The following sample code represents the handler that creates hatched brush.

    Please note that the given code snippet shows the initial declarations of some objects using their full namespace. In subsequent use of those and related objects, the namespace is omitted for brevity.

    To write code in Visual Basic

    Visual Basic
    Copy Code
    Private Sub C1Chart1_DrawDataSeries(ByVal sender As Object, _   ByVal e As C1.Win.C1Chart.DrawDataSeriesEventArgs) _    Handles C1Chart1.DrawDataSeries  
        Dim ds As C1.Win.C1Chart.ChartDataSeries = sender
        Dim foreclr As Color = ds.SymbolStyle.Color
        Dim backclr As Color = ds.LineStyle.Color   
        Dim hb As System.Drawing.Drawing2D.HatchBrush
        hb = New HatchBrush(HatchStyle.OutlinedDiamond, foreclr, backclr)
        e.Brush = hb 
    End Sub
    

    To write code in C#

    C#
    Copy Code
     
    private void c1Chart1_DrawDataSeries(object sender,    C1.Win.C1Chart.DrawDataSeriesEventArgs e)      
    {      
      C1.Win.C1Chart.ChartDataSeries ds = (ChartDataSeries)sender;
      Color forecolor = ds.SymbolStyle.Color;  
      Color backcolor = ds.LineStyle.Color;    
      System.Drawing.Drawing2D.HatchBrush hb;   
      hb = new HatchBrush(HatchStyle.OutlinedDiamond, forecolor, backcolor);  
      e.Brush = hb;   
    }
