  When I’m trying to get 3D line chart to work, I’m hitting an issue where a single point doesn’t show up in the chart at all. Sometimes, I have data for only one month in the year and need to show a larger dot for that series. How might I update/change my series type in that situation? Currently, I have this in place…

  
                          series.Add(new Series() { Name = seriesName, Type = ChartType.Line3D, LegendText = yearVal.ToString() });
  
                      series[seriesName].Points.Add(new DataPoint([Translated Month in Year], new DoubleArray(new double[] { readingValue }), false));

  Hello,

  You can use the following code in Detail format event to change the type at runtime:
  
  private void detail_Format(object sender, EventArgs e)
  
  {
  
  if(this.chartControl1.Series[0].Points.Count==1)
  
  this.chartControl1.Series[0].Type = ChartType.Bar3D;
  
  }

  Hope it helps.

  Thanks,

  Thank you, that helps.
  
  I have this:

    
  foreach (Series currseries in rluChartControl.Series)
  {
  if (currseries.Points.Count == 1)
  	currseries.Type = ChartType.Bar3D;
  }
  
  

  However, I don’t want a bar chart. How do I get a line chart with a point in 3D-space?

  Well, I did find a workaround and set the other date values to 0. However, when I try to create my series/legends from scratch, I keep getting the default line color bleeding through as LineBackdrop (or some other property). How do I remove that color from my series line?

  
                          series.Add(
                              new Series()
                              {
                                  Name = seriesName,
                                  Type = ChartType.Line3D,
                                  LegendText = yearVal.ToString(),
                                  Properties = new CustomProperties(new KeyValuePair[] { new KeyValuePair("BorderLine", new Line(currColor)), new KeyValuePair("LineBackdrop", Color.Black) }),
                                  LegendItemsMode = LegendMode.Series
                              });

  Hello,

  Please try to remove the following property:

                              Properties = new CustomProperties(new KeyValuePair[] { new KeyValuePair("BorderLine", new Line(currColor)), new KeyValuePair("LineBackdrop", Color.Black) }),
  

  Thanks,

  No, I need that custom property to set the line color properly, since I don’t want to use the default colors. The borderline color is correct, but the backdrop color is something different than what I tried to specify as LineBackdrop.

  If you want to set the different series color then you can use the folllowing lines of code instead of using the custom property.

  GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Chart.Graphics.Backdrop bd = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Chart.Graphics.Backdrop();
              bd.Color = Color.Blue;
              arChartSeries.Backdrop = bd;
  
  

  Or you can try after setting the Backdrop to transparent also.

  None of that seems to help: I tried this but no help…

  
   series.Add(
                              new Series()
                              {
                                  Name = seriesName,
                                  Type = ChartType.Line3D,
                                  Backdrop = new Backdrop(Color.Transparent),
                                  BorderLine = new Line(currColor),
                                  LegendText = yearVal.ToString(),
                                  LegendItemsMode = LegendMode.Series
                              });

  Hello,

  Please use the following line to change the color of line and border:
  
  arChartSeries.Properties = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Chart.CustomProperties(new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Chart.KeyValuePair { new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Chart.KeyValuePair(“BorderLine”, new Line(Color.Blue)), new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Chart.KeyValuePair(“LineBackdrop”, Color.Black) });

  Thanks,

  Hello,

  Sorry for the confusion:

  Try this:
  
  arChartSeries.Properties = new CustomProperties(new KeyValuePair { new KeyValuePair(“BorderLine”, new Line(Color.Red)), new KeyValuePair(“LineBackdrop”, new Backdrop(Color.Purple)) });

  Thanks,
