How to Set Cartesian Grid in C#

//use the below C# code to add data to Cartesian Grid
LineSeries series = new LineSeries();
series.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(1500, "Jan"));
series.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(1300, "Apr"));
series.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(800, "Jul"));
series.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(1000, "Oct"));
this.Chart1.Series.Add(series);

// use the below C# code to setup the Cartesian Grid
CartesianArea area = this.Chart1.GetArea<CartesianArea>();
area.ShowGrid = true;
CartesianGrid grid = area.GetGrid<CartesianGrid>();
grid.DrawHorizontalFills = true;
grid.BorderDashStyle = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.DashStyle.DashDot;

• BorderForeColor, this is the property used to change the color of the lines that are used to separate grid sectors;
• BorderDashStyle, this is the property used to set the style of the borders, which includes the following available values, Solid, Dash, Dot, DashDot, DashDotDot, Custom;
• RenderHStripes, this is the property used to render the horizontal borders of the grid;
• RenderVStripes, this is the property used to render the vertical borders of the grid;
• DrawHFills, this is the property used to draw the fills of the horizontal sectors;
• DrawVFills, this is the property used to draw the fills of the vertical sectors;
• BackColor, this property is used to set the color of the horizontal sectors;
• BackColor2, this property is used to set the color of the vertical sectors;
• AlternativeVColor, this property is used to draw the fill of the alternative vertical sectors;
• AlternativeBackColor, this property is used to set the color of the fill of the alternative vertical sectors;
• AlternativeHColor, this is the property used to draw the fill of the alternative horizontal sectors;
• AlternativeBackColor2, this property is used to set the color of the fill of the alternative horizontal sectors;

How to Set Polar Grid in C#

//use the below C# code to add data to Cartesian Grid
this.Chart1.AreaType = ChartAreaType.Polar;
PolarPointSeries polarPointSeries = new PolarPointSeries();
PolarDataPoint dataPoint = new PolarDataPoint();
dataPoint.Value = 80;
dataPoint.Angle = 30;
polarPointSeries.DataPoints.Add(dataPoint);

dataPoint = new PolarDataPoint();
dataPoint.Value = 100;
dataPoint.Angle = 160;
polarPointSeries.DataPoints.Add(dataPoint);
this.Chart1.Series.Add(polarPointSeries);

// use the below C# code to setup the Polar Grid
PolarArea area = this.Chart1.GetArea<PolarArea>();
area.ShowGrid = true;
PolarGrid grid = area.GetGrid<PolarGrid>();
grid.BorderDashStyle = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.DashStyle.Dash;

• BorderForeColor, this is the property used to change the color of the lines that are used to separate grid sectors;
• BorderDashStyle, this is the property used to set the style of the borders and the available values contains Solid, Dash, Dot, DashDot, DashDotDot, Custom;
• RenderPolarStripes, the property is used for rendering the polar borders of the grid;
• DrawialStripes, this is the property used to render the Radial borders of the grid;
• DrawPolarFills, this is the property used to draw the fills of the polar sectors;
• DrawRadialFills, the property is used for draw the fills of the Radial sectors;
• BackColor, this is the property used to set the color of the polar sectors;
• BackColor2, this is the property used to set the color of the Radial sectors;
• AlternativePolarColor, this is the property used to draw the fill of the alternative polar sectors;
• AlternativeRadialColor, this is the property used to draw the fill of the alternative Radial sectors;
• AlternativeBackColor, this is the property used to set the color of the alternative polar sectors;
• AlternativeBackColor2, this is the property used to set the color of the alternative Radial sectors;
