Customize Corner Radius for Column and Bar Charts in Bold Reports

In Bold Reports, column and bar charts are commonly used to visualize comparisons and trends. By default, these charts display with square edges, but modern report designs often benefit from rounded corners for a cleaner and more visually appealing appearance.
The SeriesCornerRadius property in Bold Reports allows you to customize the corner radius of chart elements. By applying this property, you can introduce rounded corners to column and bar chart series, resulting in a more modern and polished visual presentation.

Steps to Configure SeriesCornerRadius

Step 1: Open the Series Properties Panel

• Select the Chart, open the Properties panel and navigate to the Basic Settings section.
• Edit Series Settings: Click the edit icon next to the Choose Series dropdown to access series settings.
  
  

Step 2: Access Custom Attribute

• In the Series Properties panel, scroll to the Miscellaneous section.

• Locate Custom Attributes and click it to open custom attribute editor dialog.

  

Step 3: Add the SeriesCornerRadius Attribute

Now, define the SeriesCornerRadius attribute to control the corner radius.

• In the Custom Attributes dialog, click + Add.
• Enter SeriesCornerRadius in the Name field. Enter a numeric value (like 10 for moderately rounded corners).
• Click OK to save the attribute.
  
  

Step 4: Preview the Report

• Verify the changes in preview mode.
• Click Preview to verify that the bars are displayed with rounded corners.
• Compare the updated chart with the default design to confirm the modern appearance
  
  

Conclusion

Configuring the SeriesCornerRadius property is a simple way to add a professional, rounded appearance to your column and bar charts in Bold Reports. This customization enhances the overall design of your reports.
