Bar and Pie Fill

Except for the “Solid” selection, Bar and Pie Fill selections in the updated charting engine differ in rendering in the original charting engine. All gradient types in the original charting engine map to the same gradient display in the updated charting engine. Gradient rendering is subtlety visible only with wide bars in a bar chart or large pie regions. Color 2 is not used with gradients in the updated charting engine.
