This article explains how to change the data point selection color in the React Chart.

Change the data point selection color

In data visualization, customizing the appearance of selected points or series is crucial, and it can be achieved by using the selectionStyle property. This property allows you to apply custom styles to selected points or series, enhancing the visual appeal and readability of the data.

In the following code example, the color of the data point was changed when selecting the point using custom styles.

Index.js

import * as React from 'react';
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
import './index.css';
import { ChartComponent, SeriesCollectionDirective, SeriesDirective, Inject, Category, ColumnSeries, Selection
    } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';

const SelectionChart = () => {
return (
    <chartcomponent id="charts">
      <inject services="{[ColumnSeries," selection,="" category]}="">
      <seriescollectiondirective>
        <seriesdirective datasource="{data1}" xname="country" yname="gold" name="Gold" type="Column" selectionstyle="chartSelection1" fill="orange"></seriesdirective>
      </seriescollectiondirective>
    </inject></chartcomponent>
  );
};
export default SelectionChart;

const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('sample'));
root.render(<selectionchart>);

Index.css

.chartSelection1 {
 fill: violet;
}
