I am using a map series.
And adding various shapes in the map series using polygon class. See the below code:

        private void PlotCurve(ArrayList coordinates, Color clr)
        {
            Polygon pgon = null;
            int count = coordinates.Count;
            for (int i = 0; i < count; )
            {
                pgon = new Polygon (map1.Shapes, tChart1.Chart);
                double[] values =(double[])coordinates[i];
                pgon.Add(values[0], values[1]);
                ++i;
                if(i<count)
                {
                    values =(double[])coordinates[i];
                    pgon.Add(values[0], values[1]);
                }
                ++i;
                if(i<count)
                {
                    values =(double[])coordinates[i];
                    pgon.Add(values[0], values[1]);
                    int index = map1.Shapes.Add(pgon);	
                    map1.ColorEach = true;
                    map1.Shapes[index].ParentBrush=false;
                    map1.Shapes[index].Color = clr;
                    map1.Shapes[index].Pen.Color = clr;
                   
                    --i;
                }
            }

I wish to draw each shape's border with different pen color and hence I use the code:
map1.Shapes[index].Pen.Color = clr;
But this does not seem to do anything.
Instead if i use:
map1.Pen.Color it works, but that does not serve my purpose since all the shapes added will have the same color.

How to get around this problem?

Thanks

Hi Lakshmi,

I'm afraid this is not currently possible. I've added your request to our wish-list to be considered for inclusion in future releases.

Hi Lakshmi,

Sorry but a colleague told me that it could be achieved doing something like:

Code: Select all

			for(int i=0;i<map1.Shapes.Count;++i)
			{
				map1.Shapes[i].ParentPen=false;
				map1.Shapes[i].ParentBrush=false;
				map1.Shapes[i].Pen.Color=Color.FromArgb(50+i*4,50+i*4,50+i*4);
				map1.Shapes[i].Brush.Color=Color.FromArgb(50+i*4,50+i*4,50+i*4);
				map1.Shapes[i].Pen.Width=2;
			}
