the top ones are Brushes;

	[XmlIgnore]
	[Display(Name = "myAreaBrush", Order = 1, GroupName = "Style")]
	public Brush myAreaBrush 
	{ get; set; }
	
	[Browsable(false)]
	[XmlElement("myAreaBrush")]
	public string Serializable_myAreaBrush 
	{
		get { return Serialize.BrushToString(myAreaBrush ); }
		set { myAreaBrush  = Serialize.StringToBrush(value); }
	}

Then simply use your Brush when you draw your object(like a rectangle). Then bottom ones are Stroke Class which you can apply to lines, plots and borders;

	[Display(Name = "myStroke", GroupName = "Style", Order = 1)]
	public Stroke myStroke { get; set; }

and you apply the stroke like this:

myLine = Draw.Line(this, "myline", true, Time1, Close[0], Time2, Close[0], Brushes.Pink, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 4, false);
myLine.Stroke = myStroke;

applying the stroke like this overwrites what you write in Draw.Line ^

You then set defaults like this:

myStroke = new Stroke(Brushes.Blue, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 2);
myStroke.Opacity = 100;

or like this:

myStroke.Brush = Brushes.Black;
myStroke.Width = 2; etc....

/////

You can also use a stroke class on your rectangles:

myRect.OutlineStroke = myStroke

Those are all part of the ChartControl.Properties.
You’ll probably need to use a Dispatcher for access,
and wouldn’t suggest changing them in code on fly.

In Code, just type ChartControl.Properties
Add . at end for intellisense suggestions.

//Examples
if(ChartControl != null) ChartControl.Dispatcher.InvokeAsync((() =>
{
	Brush ccBackGroundBrush = ChartControl.Properties.ChartBackground;
	Brush ccTextBrush 		= ChartControl.Properties.ChartText;
	Stroke ccAxisStroke 	= ChartControl.Properties.AxisPen;
	SimpleFont ccLabelFont 	= ChartControl.Properties.LabelFont;
}));

Be Safe in this Crazy World!
