Color Selection for Charts

How do I define a custom palette for the AreaSeries and LineSeries in an XYChart?  The Palette.Kind values do not provide selection required.  I want to be displaying a gradient (as AreaSeries) for one of the values with a specific color, and then draw two additional lines (as LineSeries) - with specific colors (and line thicknesses as well).

 

Thanks.

Nevermind - Got it....

 

In XAML

 <charts:SeriesPaletteStyleSelector x:Name="spssMyChart" AreaBrushKind="LightToDarkGradient" />

 

In C#

Color[] myColors = { Colors.Blue, Colors.Red, Colors.Green };
ActiproSoftware.Windows.Controls.Charts.Palettes.
Palette myPalette = new ActiproSoftware.Windows.Controls.Charts.Palettes.Palette(myColors);
spssMyChart.Palette = myPalette;

Hi Don,

Check out our XY Chart "Palette Custom Colors" QuickStart.  That shows how to make a style selector with a custom palette.  The sample is for three area series but you could easily swap in a couple line series instead.

Also the SeriesPaletteStyleSelector class has an AreaBrushKind property you can set to apply gradient effects.
