Watermark for Chart

[Praveen D]

Tried to use Annotation to set the watermark for chart.

I had two issues

1) I wasnt able to set the text to Binding

2) Annotation is Above Charts. How to set the Z order or send the annotation to back of chart

Is there a better way to set watermark

Found this on one of the example uploaded in forum

\Below XAML works

 <chart:SfCartesianChart.PlotAreaBackgroundView >

     <AbsoluteLayout >

         <Label Text="{Binding Path= Symbol}"

       FontSize="80"

       FontAttributes="Bold"

       TextColor="Gray"

       Margin="10,0,0,0"

       AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="0.5,0.5,-1,-1"

       AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="PositionProportional"

       Opacity="0.3" />

     </AbsoluteLayout>

 </chart:SfCartesianChart.PlotAreaBackgroundView>

Hi Praveen,

 

We appreciate your findings on adding a watermark behind the chart using PlotAreaBackgroundView. Do you still need to place the annotation as a watermark at the back of the chart?
