Plotarea background image on 3D chart

[Weekends]

Hi!

Does anyone know some way of displaying an image within plot area of a 3D ChartFX chart?

Basically, I need to display a message to the user under certain conditions, which will be displayed as an image background of chart plot area. 2D charts are fine with this but the ones I am working with have to be 3D. I know PlotArea property cannot be assigned when using 3D charts. Does anybody know of some workaround?

Any help appreciated!

 Hi,

I made a test with this code. Let me know if it helped.

 private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)   {   this.chart1.View3D.Enabled = true;   ChartFX.WinForms.Adornments.ImageBackground imageBackground1 = new ChartFX.WinForms.Adornments.ImageBackground();   imageBackground1.Image = Bitmap.FromFile(@"C:\YourSamplePicture.jpg");   this.chart1.Background = imageBackground1;   }

Thanks Juan but this sets background of the whole chart and not just the plot area of chart. For the sake of consistency the image has to be in chart's plot area.

 I see. hmmm well I don't know a workaround for this. Even if you use an image annotation, this one will be on top of the series.

You are right, image annotation wouldn't work in this case. Have decided to show message in a label below the chart at the cost of consistency. However, chart will be tucked away inside tabbed control, so hopefully that would mitigate the lack of consistency. Thanks anyways for your help, appreciate it!
