How to override existing ColorSet?

 

ColorSets property is a collection of ColorSet which is defined in chart. One can create new ColorSet and add it into ColorSets.

As an example if you want to override Visifire2 ColorSet, create your own ColorSet and set the Id property of that ColorSet as Visifire. Then embedded ColorSet for Visifire will be overridden by your new ColorSet.

 

Example:

 

<vc:Chart ColorSet="Visifire2">

 

<vc:Chart.ColorSets>

                <vc:ColorSet Id="Visifire2">

                    <vc:ColorSet.Brushes>

                        <SolidColorBrush Color="#808000"></SolidColorBrush>

                        <SolidColorBrush Color="#d5935e"></SolidColorBrush>

                        <SolidColorBrush Color="#638090"></SolidColorBrush>

                        <SolidColorBrush Color="#405b45"></SolidColorBrush>

                        <SolidColorBrush Color="#5b5853"></SolidColorBrush>

                        <SolidColorBrush Color="#8f4b32"></SolidColorBrush>

                        <SolidColorBrush Color="#863901"></SolidColorBrush>

                        <SolidColorBrush Color="#6d6743"></SolidColorBrush>

                        <SolidColorBrush Color="#716820"></SolidColorBrush>

                        <SolidColorBrush Color="#7e6046"></SolidColorBrush>
