Public Class PaintElement 
   Inherits AppearanceHelper
   Implements Infragistics.UltraChart.Resources.IProvideChartComponent 
Remarks

Primitves and certain ChartAppearance subclasses that expose properties with sophisticated filling features use PaintElement objects to describe the characteristics of how they are filled and outlined. This type encapsulates those methods and properties developers may already expect from Brush (fill) and Pen (stroke) objects in other GUI environments.

PaintElement objects are only applicable to objects that support all of the following sophisticated filling techniques:

  • Solid fills.
  • Tiled texture fills.
  • Gradient fills.
  • Hatch pattern fills.

Appearance objects that don't require PaintElement's broad support will only expose a fill or background color property (and possibly border color and thickness properties) for solid fills only.
