Background Colors

Background color for the entire figure or just the data area may be individually controlled. When using dark figure backgrounds it may be necessary to configure axes to use light colors

Styling.cs

ScottPlot.Plot myPlot = new();

// setup a plot with sample data
myPlot.Add.Signal(Generate.Sin(51));
myPlot.Add.Signal(Generate.Cos(51));
myPlot.XLabel("Horizontal Axis");
myPlot.YLabel("Vertical Axis");

// some items must be styled directly
myPlot.FigureBackground.Color = Colors.Navy;
myPlot.DataBackground.Color = Colors.Navy.Darken(0.1);
myPlot.Grid.MajorLineColor = Colors.Navy.Lighten(0.1);

// some items have helper methods to configure multiple properties at once
myPlot.Axes.Color(Colors.Navy.Lighten(0.8));

myPlot.SavePng("demo.png", 400, 300);
