asp.net - How to change chart legend title separator color


Change the Chart legend title separator color



The Chart class serves as the root class of the Chart control. The Chart class exposes all of the properties, methods, and events of the Chart Web server control.
The Chart Series collection property stores Series objects which are used to store data that is to be displayed, along with attributes of that data. The Chart ChartAreas collection property stores ChartArea objects, which are primarily used to draw one or more charts using one set of axes.




The following asp.net c# web development tutorial code demonstrates how we can change the Chart legend title default separator color programmatically. Here we will use the Chart class Legends property to get the legend collection. Then we will get the specified legend instance by its id. And then we will set or change the Chart legend’s title separator color by setting the Legend class TitleSeparatorColor property value.




The Chart Legends property gets or sets a LegendCollection object that is used to store all Legend objects used by the Chart control. This property value is a LegendCollection that is used to store all Legend objects. This Chart collection property stores all Legend objects used by the Chart control.




The Legend class represents the legend for the chart image. The Legend class encapsulates all the functionality of the Chart control's legend and is exposed using the Legends collection property of the root Chart object. In a Chart object can be any number of legends for a chart image.




The Legend class TitleSeparatorColor property gets or sets the color of the legend title separator. This property value is a Color that is used to draw the color of the legend title separator. The default value of this property is Black.
