Change zedgraph pane background color

Question

Is it possible to change the background color (white by default) of a zedgraph pane?

I tried changing the background color of the zedgraph element, but it doesn't give any visible result, background is still white:

ZedGraphControl.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;

And there doesn't seem to exist a Color or BackColor property on ZedGraphControl.GraphPane.

Answer 1

myChart.GraphPane.Chart.Fill.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Black;

Answer 2

You can use

zg.GraphPane.Chart.Fill.Color = SystemColors.ControlText;

to change the background [only] of the chart. If you want to change the background color the zedgraph except the chart, use

zg.GraphPane.Fill.Color = SystemColors.ControlText;

If you want to change the background color of everything in the zedgraph, use both:

zg.GraphPane.Chart.Fill.Color = SystemColors.ControlText;
zg.GraphPane.Fill.Color = SystemColors.ControlText;
