How to set the customized adornment for WPF Olap Chart series?

This article explains how to apply customized adornments to individual series in a Syncfusion WPF OLAP Chart. By configuring the ChartAdornmentInfo object and assigning it to a specific series, you can control the visibility, symbol shape, size, and appearance of data point adornments.

Customized adornments help highlight important data points and improve the visual clarity of chart series.

Follow these steps to customize adornments for OLAP Chart series:

Step 1: Configure the OLAP Data Manager
Initialize the OlapDataManager, set the OLAP report, and attach the Loaded event to apply adornment customization. For more information, refer this getting started documentation

public MainWindow()
{
   InitializeComponent();

   this.olapChart.OlapDataManager =
       new Syncfusion.Olap.Manager.OlapDataManager(
       "Data Source=https://bi.syncfusion.com/olap/msmdpump.dll;" +
       "Initial Catalog=Adventure Works DW 2008 SE;");

   this.olapChart.OlapDataManager.SetCurrentReport(SampleReport());

   this.olapChart.Loaded += OlapChart_Loaded;
} 

Public Sub New()
   InitializeComponent()

   Me.olapChart.OlapDataManager =
       New Syncfusion.Olap.Manager.OlapDataManager(
       "Data Source=http://bi.syncfusion.com/olap/msmdpump.dll;" &
       "Initial Catalog=Adventure Works DW 2008 SE;")

   Me.olapChart.OlapDataManager.SetCurrentReport(SampleReport())

   AddHandler Me.olapChart.Loaded, AddressOf OlapChart_Loaded
End Sub 

Step 2: Create and Apply a Customized ChartAdornmentInfo
In the Loaded event, create a ChartAdornmentInfo object and assign it to a specific series using the AdornmentsInfo property.

void OlapChart_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
   ChartAdornmentInfo adornmentInfo = new ChartAdornmentInfo
   {
       Visible = true,
       Symbol = Symbol.Diamond,
       SymbolInterior = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Pink),
       SymbolWidth = 15,
       SymbolHeight = 15
   };

   this.olapChart.OlapChartArea.Series[0].AdornmentsInfo = adornmentInfo;
} 

Private Sub OlapChart_Loaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
   Dim adornmentInfo As New ChartAdornmentInfo()
   adornmentInfo.Visible = True
   adornmentInfo.Symbol = Symbol.Diamond
   adornmentInfo.SymbolInterior = New SolidColorBrush(Colors.Pink)
   adornmentInfo.SymbolWidth = 15
   adornmentInfo.SymbolHeight = 15

   Me.olapChart.OlapChartArea.Series(0).AdornmentsInfo = adornmentInfo
End Sub
