OneColorGradient Method
Applies To
ChartFillFormat object, FillFormat object.
Description
Sets the specified fill to a one-color gradient.
Syntax
expression.OneColorGradient(GradientStyle, Variant, Degree)
expression Required. An expression that returns a FillFormat object.
GradientStyle Required Long. The gradient style. Can be one of the following MsoGradientStyle constants: msoGradientDiagonalDown, msoGradientDiagonalUp, msoGradientFromCenter, msoGradientFromCorner, msoGradientHorizontal, or msoGradientVertical.
Variant Required Long. The gradient variant. Can be a value from 1 through 4, corresponding to one of the four variants on the Gradient tab in the Fill Effects dialog box. If GradientStyle is msoGradientFromCenter, the Variant argument can only be 1 or 2.
Degree Required Single. The gradient degree. Can be a value from 0.0 (dark) through 1.0 (light).
Example
This example sets the fill format for chart two to the same style used for chart one.
Set c1f = Charts(1).ChartArea.Fill
If c1f.Type = msoFillGradient And _
c1f.GradientColorType = msoGradientOneColor Then
With Charts(2).ChartArea.Fill
.Visible = True
.OneColorGradient c1f.GradientStyle, _
c1f.GradientVariant, c1f.GradientDegree
End With
End If
