Step 3: Changing the Chart Appearance

In this step you will change the chart type to SurfaceZone, set the appearance for the chart floor, rotate the chart, and change its elevation angle.

Select the C1Chart3D control in your window and click View | Properties Window.
Change the chart type by clicking the drop-down arrow next to the ChartType property and selecting SurfaceZone.
Click the drop-down arrow next to the FloorAppearance property and select ZoneContour.
Enter 170 next to the Elevation property.
Set the Azimuth property to 20.

The XAML markup will now look similar to the following:

</UserControl>

In the next step you will add a legend for the chart.
