## Gradient Fill
2114+
2115+
A gradient fill in a chart refers to the application of a smooth transition of colors across a chart element. Instead of a solid color, a gradient fill gradually blends one color into another, creating a visually appealing effect.
2116+
2117+
The following code example explains how to apply gradient fill in the chart data series.
