LineChart: how to display gradient below line

[ludriv]

Hello Phil, I want to draw gradient below line: line color with 1 or configurable alpha to line color 0 alpha. How can I do this?

[PhilJay]

Can you be more specific, I'm not really sure what you mean.

Have you noticed the method setDrawFilled(boolean enabled) in the LineDataSet class?

Regards, Phil

[ludriv]

Thanks for answering. Yes, setDrawFilled(boolean enabled) works but it's a plain color, I would like a gradient and, if possible, choose components colors and orientation. Here an example

Hi @ludriv,

looks awesome! It would be great to have this feature!

@ludriv you can add a gradient shader to the mRenderPaint to do that. It works for me.

Looks very interesting, I'm thinking about adding this feature. In the meantime, you cand do a workaround like this (similar to what sy-tang mentioned):

Inside the library:

mRenderPaint.setShader(new LinearGradient(0, 0, 0, getHeight(), Color.BLACK, Color.WHITE, Shader.TileMode.MIRROR));

// data preparation...

// data drawing
mDrawCanvas.drawPath(..., mRenderPaint);

mRenderPaint.setShader(null);

Thanks it works!

I tried to do as you said Phil But it's doesn't work for me. Can you please tell me where to edit in LIbrary and how to Use it.? Thanks.

I want to do the same. Use a gradient below my line. How would this be possible

This I did this by modifying the drawFilledPath method in the LineChartRenderer class like so:

Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setShader(new LinearGradient(0, 0, 0, c.getHeight(), 0x80FFFFFF, 0x00FFFFFF, Shader.TileMode.CLAMP));

c.save();
c.clipPath(filledPath);

//int color = (fillAlpha << 24) | (fillColor & 0xffffff);
//c.drawColor(color);
c.drawPaint(paint);
c.restore();

I did it simply by adding setDrawableFilled which takes drawable as parameter. In that drawable, i've added gradient shape and It worked for me

@delhmela Did you got any way to do that.

@arpitgarg yeap I used MPAndroidChart and changed MPAndroidChart's codes )

@PhilJay animations are laggy in api 19 but without animations the app with the chart is quiet fast by the way thanks man great library.
