Use a 3D area chart to compare trends in two or more data series over a period of time or in specific categories, allowing the data to be viewed side by side.

To see a chart in three dimensions, the ProjectionType must be Orthogonal. The ProjectionType is found in the ChartArea Collection dialog in the Projection section. |

Below is an example of setting the custom chart properties at run time for a 3D area chart as shown for the first series in the image above.
' Visual Basic
Imports DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Chart.Graphics
Me.ChartControl1.Series(0).Properties("LineBackdrop") = New Chart.Graphics.Backdrop(Color.Red, CType(150, _
Byte))
Me.ChartControl1.Series(0).Properties("Thickness") = 5.0F
Me.ChartControl1.Series(0).Properties("Width") = 30.0F
// C#
using DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Chart.Graphics
this.chartControl1.Series[0].Properties["LineBackdrop"] = new Chart.Graphics.Backdrop(Color.Red, ((System. _
Byte)(150)));
this.chartControl1.Series[0].Properties["Thickness"] = 5f;
this.chartControl1.Series[0].Properties["Width"] = 30f;
