By default if you take a look at the Silverlight toolkit demo site,
http://silverlight.net/content/samples/sl3/toolkitcontrolsamples/run/default.html
you will see on the LineChart some points which are relatively big.
As far as I know every point on the Chart is an Ellipse. For that I created the style on xaml file.
<Style x:Name="ChartLineBar" TargetType="Ellipse">
<Setter Property="Width" Value="10"/>
<Setter Property="Height" Value="10"/>
</Style>
and bind like this:
series.DataPointStyle = Resources["ChartLineBar"] as Style;
This did not work, so after that I decided to like that: I basically recreate the structure which are showing the points.
<Style x:Name="ChartLineBar" TargetType="chartingToolkit:LineDataPoint">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="chartingToolkit:LineDataPoint">
<Grid x:Name="Root">
<Ellipse Width="10" Height="10" Visibility="Visible" Opacity="1" />
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
This did not work either, but I think that there should exist a solution for that because, if I use the SilverlightSpy, I can access all the properties and if I modify there the point's size is decreasing. How can I make smaller points on a silverlight LineChart?
The July 09 source code shows the default width and height to be 8 so I'm not sure setting them to 10 would make them smaller.
Have you tried it like this:-
<Style x:Name="ChartLineBar" TargetType="chartingToolkit:LineDataPoint">
<Setter Property="Width" Value="10"/>
<Setter Property="Height" Value="10"/>
</Style>
Note that the TargetType is LineDataPoint.
