How to customize background and foreground settings in WinForms Chart?
The chart background image can be set either at runtime or at design time. The ChartInterior can set any solid color as the background color of the chart control as well as the chart area in WinForms Charts.
The font face of the text can be chosen from any of the system-supported font faces using the Font property of the ChartStyleInfo class. The font style of the series text can be changed by selecting any one of the different font styles using the FontStyle property of the ChartFontInfo class.
C#
// Set Chart Background Color
this.chartControl1.ChartInterior = new BrushInfo(Color.LightGreen);
// Change the font for chart axis
this.chartControl1.PrimaryXAxis.Font = new Font("Verdana", 10f, FontStyle.Bold);
this.chartControl1.PrimaryYAxis.Font = new Font("Verdana", 10f, FontStyle.Bold);VB
'Set Chart Background Color
columnChart.ChartInterior = New BrushInfo(Color.LightGreen)
'Change font for chart axis
columnChart.PrimaryXAxis.Font = New Font("Verdana", 10.0F, FontStyle.Bold)
columnChart.PrimaryYAxis.Font = New Font("Verdana", 10.0F, FontStyle.Bold)
