The data point fill effects and borders can be specified in several modes.
Series – in this mode all series data points are displayed in an uniform series
defined manner. For example the bar series have two properties BarFillEffect
and BarBorder, which control the appearance of the bars. The series can also
implement some built-in logic and use the appearance of the data points to
express it. This is the case of the Stock chart, which paints the data points
with user specified up and down fill effects (controlled by the UpFillEffect
and DownFillEffect properties of the Stock Series object).
Cycle – in this mode the appearance of the data points is defined by user
specified arrays of fill effects and line properties. This allows the user to
specify individual filling and border for each data point. If the count of the
fill effects or borders array is smaller than the data point count the control
will cycle trough the available fill effects or borders respectively. If the
fill effects or borders array is empty a default fill effect or border will be
used.
Predefined – in this mode the control uses predefined colors for the filling
and borders of the data points. No user action is required – this can be very
helpful if you just want to display your data points in different colors, but
do not want to bother to specify them exactly.
