Transparent background

[John]

Is there a way to have the background of the digramming tool to be set to transparent? I dont need white or background image, i need transparent.

Thanks
John

Hello John,

You can accomplish this by setting Diagram.Model.BackgroundStyle.Color to Transparent.

Please let me know if you have any queries on this issue.

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion.

Sorry to bring back such an old post. But is i then save the diagram as a png, would that then also have an transparent background?

Hi John,  

 

We can export the diagram as PNG image with transparent Background, if we set the Diagram.Model.BackgroundStyle.Color as transparent. We have added sample location for the sample to export the diagram as image. 

 

Sample Location: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Syncfusion\Windows\{Version}\diagram\Getting Started\Export Image

Hi,

I tried this and it doesn't work. It seems to set the background color to a gray and photoshop etc also don't show it as transparent (it shows up as the same gray).

Hi Per,

We request you to update the BackColor property of diagram control to export diagram with Transparent background in addition to updating model’s BackgroundStyle property. Please find the code example below:

this.diagram1.BackColor = Color.Transparent;

this.diagram1.Model.BackgroundStyle.Color = Color.Transparent;
