Hi Peter,

I would like to know if I can change the standard finance chart look and feel? such as
changing the pale yellow bgcolor among other things?

Know of any palettes or themes I can use?

Thanks a bunch!

Rehan

Hi Rehan,

The FinanceChart contains many methods to allow you to configure the look and feel of the chart. For example, the FinanceChart.setPlotAreaStyle method can be used to configure the plot area background and the grid line colors. See the documentation on FinanceChart (you may look up FinanceChart from the documentation index) for details.

Furthermore, the FinanceChart class library is open source, and the source code is included in the download (again, see the documentation on FinanceChart). So if there is some customization that cannot be achieved using the public methods of FinanceChart, you may modify the source code directly.

Hope this can help.

Regards
Peter Kwab
