ChartDirector 7.1 (.NET Edition)

Positive Negative Bars




This example demonstrates a bar chart containing positive and negative data, represented by different colors.

In this example, the two colors of the plot area background are configured using background zones, while the bar colors are configured by splitting the bars into two layers.
