Building on the lessons learned earlier in the chapter, this recipe will show the reader how to change the colors used in the chart, along with setting up a 3D appearance. By default, Dynamics CRM automatically decides which colors to use for the chart; however, certain colors can mean different things depending on the audience. You may even wish to use a corporate color palette so that all charts look similar. By setting custom palettes and colors the developer has control over this option.
This recipe assumes that you are working with the chart created earlier in the Exporting a chart recipe. This chapter also assumes that the reader has access to an XML editor such as Microsoft Visual Studio.
