Utility to Specify Color as int
Posted by MarkZB on Jun-05-2018 14:13	\| Reply \| Monitor
Is there an extension to specify color as hex int? Similar to: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39137486/converting-colour-name-to-hex-in-c-sharp public static class HexColorExtensions { public static string ToHex(this Color c) => $"#{c.R:X2}{c.G:X2}{c.B:X2}"; } I prefer not to have to specify color in hex int.

Hi MarkZB, ChartDirector uses integers to represent colors. Do you mean to convert the .NET System.Drawing.Color object to an integer? The API is Chart.CColor. For example: c.addBarLayer(myData, Chart.CColor(Color.Red)); Hope this can help. Regards Peter Kwan

Yes thats it. I prefer chart.addCandleStick(Chart.CColor(Color.Red), Chart.CColor(Color.LightBlue)); over... chart.addCandleStick(0x00ff00, 0xff0000);
