How to apply different color to individual data points of chart series in ASP.NET WebForms?
We can apply different color to the individual chart series in a chart. For example, we can apply different color for each bar in the bar chart or for each slice in a Pie chart.
The following code example illustrates applying different colors to the chart series.
private void CreatePresentation() { //Create a PowerPoint presentation instance IPresentation presentation = Presentation.Create(); //Create a blank slide ISlide slide = presentation.Slides.Add(SlideLayoutType.Blank); //Add a chart in specific location IPresentationChart chart = slide.Charts.AddChart(270, 70, 500, 400); //Set the chart data chart.ChartData.SetValue(1, 1, "Gender"); chart.ChartData.SetValue(1, 2, "Male"); chart.ChartData.SetValue(1, 3, "Female"); chart.ChartData.SetValue(2, 1, "Accommodation"); chart.ChartData.SetValue(3, 1, "Food"); chart.ChartData.SetValue(4, 1, "Cosmetics"); chart.ChartData.SetValue(5, 1, "Cloths"); chart.ChartData.SetValue(6, 1, "Medicines"); chart.ChartData.SetValue(2, 2, 30); chart.ChartData.SetValue(3, 2, 60); chart.ChartData.SetValue(4, 2, 45); chart.ChartData.SetValue(5, 2, 55); chart.ChartData.SetValue(6, 2, 15); chart.ChartData.SetValue(2, 3, 60); chart.ChartData.SetValue(3, 3, 30); chart.ChartData.SetValue(4, 3, 75); chart.ChartData.SetValue(5, 3, 15); chart.ChartData.SetValue(6, 3, 35); //Specifies the chart title chart.ChartTitle = "Expenses"; //Create a new chart-series with the name IOfficeChartSerie serieForMale = chart.Series.Add("Male"); //Set the data range for chart serieForMale.Values = chart.ChartData[2, 2, 6, 2]; //Create a new chart-series with the name IOfficeChartSerie serieForFemale = chart.Series.Add("Female"); //Set the data range for chart serieForFemale.Values = chart.ChartData[2, 3, 6, 3]; //Set the data range for category axis chart.PrimaryCategoryAxis.CategoryLabels = chart.ChartData[2, 1, 6, 1]; //Set the chart type as bar chart chart.ChartType = OfficeChartType.Bar_Clustered; //Set color for the serie of male SetColorForSerie(serieForMale); //Set color for the serie of femle SetColorForSerie(serieForFemale); //Save the presentation into memory stream presentation.Save("sample.pptx"); //Close the presentation intstance presentation.Close(); } /// <summary> /// Set the color to serie datapoints /// </summary> /// <param name="serie">Represent the serie of the chart</param> private void SetColorForSerie(IOfficeChartSerie serie) { for (int i = serie.Values.FirstRow; i <= serie.Values.LastRow; i++) { int percentage = Convert.ToInt32(serie.Values.GetValue(i, serie.Values.FirstColumn)); if (percentage > 50) serie.DataPoints[i - serie.Values.FirstRow].DataFormat.Fill.ForeColorIndex = OfficeKnownColors.Orange; else serie.DataPoints[i - serie.Values.FirstRow].DataFormat.Fill.ForeColorIndex = OfficeKnownColors.Violet; } }
The following screen shot displays the pie chart and bar with different color.
