Radial Gradients
Hover over the image to see the chart animation
This web site builds the control from code behind but you could also grab it from the toolbox, this sample also uses a ViewModel to populate the properties of the control(s) in this sample.


View Model
using CommunityToolkit.Mvvm.ComponentModel;
using LiveChartsCore;
using LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView;
using LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.Painting;
using SkiaSharp;
namespace ViewModelsSamples.Design.RadialGradients;

public partial class ViewModel
{
// radial gradients are based on SkiaSharp circular gradients
// for more info please see:

{
new SKColor(179, 229, 252),
new SKColor(1, 87, 155)
// ...
// you can add as many colors as you require to build the gradient
// by default all the distance between each color is equal
// use the colorPos parameter in the constructor of the RadialGradientPaint class
// to specify the distance between each color
};
