Step 4 of 4: Adjust the Chart's Appearance
In This Topic

In this last step, you will adjust the chart's appearance using the Theme property.

To set the chart’s theme in Visual Studio using XAML:

To specifically define the Office2007Blue theme in your chart, add the following Theme markup to the <c1chart:C1Chart> tag so that it appears similar to the following:

XAML
Copy Code
<c1chart:C1Chart Margin="0,0,8,8" MinHeight="160" MinWidth="240" Content="C1Chart" ChartType="Bar" Theme="Office2007Blue">

To set the chart's theme in Visual Studio in code:

Visual Basic
Copy Code
C1Chart1.Theme = TryCast(C1Chart1.TryFindResource(New ComponentResourceKey(GetType(C1Chart), "Office2007Blue")), ResourceDictionary)

 

C#
Copy Code
C1Chart1.Theme = c1Chart1.TryFindResource( new ComponentResourceKey(typeof(C1.WPF.C1Chart.C1Chart),   "Office2007Blue")) as ResourceDictionary;

 

What You've Accomplished:

The Office 2007 Blue theme is applied to the C1Chart control.

Congratulations! You've completed the Chart for WPF quick start and created a chart application, added data to the chart, set the axes bounds, formatted the axes annotation, and customized the appearance of the chart.
