Set Gradient Color to PlotArea
This help article shows how to set a gradient color to the PlotArea of the RadHtmlChart.
Generally, the PlotArea of the RadHtmlChart doesn't provide gradient colors. You can, however, use the Kendo Drawing API in order to draw gradient colors over the PlotArea once the chart is rendered. You can see the code that creates Figure 1 in Example 1.
function chartLoad(chart) {
var chart = chart.get_kendoWidget();
var draw = kendo.drawing;
var geom = kendo.geometry;
var gradient = new draw.LinearGradient({
start: [0, 0], // Bottom left
end: [0, 1], // Top left
stops: [{
offset: 0,
color: "#f00",
opacity: 0
}, {
offset: 1,
color: "#f00",
opacity: 1
}]
});
var xAxis = chart.getAxis("xAxis");
var yAxis = chart.getAxis("yAxis");
var xSlot = xAxis.slot(xAxis.range().min, xAxis.range().max);
var ySlot = yAxis.slot(yAxis.range().min, yAxis.range().max);
var rect = new geom.Rect([
// Origin X, Y
xSlot.origin.x, ySlot.origin.y
], [
// Width, height
xSlot.width(), ySlot.height()
]);
var path = draw.Path.fromRect(rect, {
stroke: null,
fill: gradient
});
setTimeout(function () {
chart.surface.draw(path);
}, 10);
}
