How can I make charts that look like this:

Instead of this:

MS Chart Example

EDIT: I've made some progress, since asking this question. The styling elements that improve the default graph in both Dundas and MSChart are:

  • Round Corners on the chart container
  • Background colours and gradients on chart container
  • Transparency on column colours
  • Alignment of columns in the x axis (bizarely, MSChart defaults to z axis alignment)
  • Area 3D wall width

I know it's a bit late, but I was playing with the chart for a project I'm working on.

Color="#960080ff"

The first set of two digits in the color are for the alpha channel. I've got it set for 96 which is semi transparent.

enjoy
