Built-in Gradients

The built-in gradients have been deprecated* in favor of the much more flexible Color Gradients.

xmCHART provides 42 built-in gradients to choose from which can be accessed by entering a resource ID between 1 and 42. Built-in gradients are defined by the arguments sourceType and sourceData. Enter as sourceType the constant resource (or the value 2) and as sourceData the resource ID. Built-in gradients are available for the following functions:

AddPicture()

BackgroundPict()

ChartBackgroundPict()

PictureStyle()

For example:

BackgroundPict(resource;​25)

ChartBackgroundPict(xy;​resource;​37)

PictureStyle(1;​resource;​5)

Alternatively, xmCHART provides customizable color gradients to overcome the limitations of built-in gradients.
