How To Remove Background Wall & Gridlines On 3D Chart Control - vb.net

I am trying to remove all gridlines and all parts of the background wall from a 3D Column graph. I have tried changing every background colour and every enabled setting to false but I still cannot seem to find where to remove the surrounding gridline as shown below. If possible, I would like to keep the graph floor, but remove the side and back walls.
I'm sure it's simple, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Unfortunately the style of Area3DStyle is a bit hard-coded. You have the possibility to choose one of the following LightStyle:
None
Simplistic
Realistic
From you picture it seems that you have chosen None, try to set LightStyle to Simplistic to remove the border on the bars.
If you want to completely remove also the gray background you can set the ChartArea BackColor to Transparent.
The final result will be similar to

Filling in Hollow Area Only for Bootstrap Glyphicon

I'm using Bootstrap glyphicons for a web app and love the flexibility of being able to leverage them as fonts, since that's what they are, not graphics. However, I'm running into a challenge with the glyphicon-remove-sign icon, which has a colored circle surrounding an otherwise empty "x". I like the default look of the black surrounding the "x" and want to use it to close a rounded-cornered iframe. But, because that "x" is empty, it displays whatever is behind it:
Ideally, I'd want to have that hollow "x" be a different color like white, easy enough to do with background colors, except that creates a box around the otherwise vectored font and looks unsightly for my usage, which has multiple colors to contend with behind the icon:
The question is: is there a way to just fill in the empty space inside the hollow area of this glyphicon without this kludgy-looking box? I looked at using a clip-path with the background color, but that won't work with IE. I welcome any recommendations anyone may have for a fix here -- thanks in advance.
create a wrapper div of the glyphicon, give it border-radius as to imitate the circle streching it and then give that background color

How to create legends with triangular end boxes in arcGIS?

I simply want my legend which is now in the form of the left bar in the following image, to be shown in the form of the bar in the right side. I couldn't find anything related for arcGIS. those anyone know?
Thank you so much for your help.
Unfortunately I don't think there is an elegant way to do this, only a work-around:
In Layout View, convert the legend to graphics. (Make sure your data and legend are in their final product state as your legend will no longer be dynamically linked to your data).
Right-click on the legend and ungroup the elements in the legend. Repeat as many times as necessary in order to be able to select an individual rectangle.
Manually convert the two rectangles into triangles. One way to do this would be to activate the "Draw" toolbar and draw white polygons over parts of each rectangle.
Once finished, regroup everything.
Again, not the prettiest solution but I don't believe ArcMap has this functionality.
Good luck!

Modify Z-index on Series object in Excel 2010

I am using excel 2010.
I have a chart diagram on which i put a rectangle to surround the highest column bar.
In order to make things more readable, i would like to place this rectangle on the chart but NOT in front of the lines/bars/etc...It has to be behind them.
Shape objects (like my rectangle) have a ZIndex property than can be modified in order to achieve that. Thing is, it seems impossible to put that behind the elements of my chart, nor the chart itself.
The main reason is because Chart objects and Series objects (which are the columns inside my chart) doesn't have a Z-Index property.
Is there a way which could allow me to achieve this ? Other than modifying ZIndex property ?
You can move the Chart in front of the Shape, or the Shape in front of the Chart. But what you are looking to do is to stuff the Shape behind some components of the chart, but still in front of the chart background.
That, as far as I know cannot be done.
But you can simulate the effect by making the Chart's background and the Plot area transparent (no fill, instead of the default White fill) by simply right clicking and adjusting properties.
Also, you can highlight both the chart and the shape (Ctrl-Multiple Select) and lock the two together so your Shape will look like it's a part of the chart and is behind the components.
Of course, the shape will be behind the whole chart itself (by setting the appropriate Z-value, which you may find by simply clicking on Record Macro and running the formatting once to get sample code) but since the chart's background is transparent and so is the plot area's it'll look as if the rectangle's behind the lines and all.

Draw panel in Cocoa

I have a NSBezierPath, in the shape of a menubar panel.
I'd like to make a header now.
Like this one for example.
But only like 30 pixels from the top.
I can't figure out how I should only get the top part of the NSBezierPath.
This is my first question.
How can I cut off a piece of the NSBezierPath, or how can I make a Union of the NSBezierPath.
Then I want to add a gradient like in the example.
The gradient is clear, but how can I add the glow at the top of it?
I have added a shadow in another app back then, but it seemed a little dirty.
So how can I make a shadow at the top of the NSBezierPath, like in the provided example.
Thanks!
I ended up using PaintCode, which did a pretty good job for me.
This is the result:
To get the 'light' edge at the top of the element you can just draw (i.e. :fill) the NSBezierPath with a vertical offset of e.g. -1 points with a brighter color. Then draw the shape (at y=+1 points) on top of that.
Not sure what you mean by making the header and cutting of bits..

Removing White Background Box from MATLAB Figure when using the Mapping Toolbox

I've started to use the Mapping Toolbox in MATLAB for a project of mine, and below is a screenshot of what I currently have created using it.
What I'm trying to do now is remove the white box from behind the actual map, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I've trying setting 'Frame' to 'off' with the axesm command when first creating the map, but that doesn't do it. I've looked through the documentation to try to figure out why there's even a white background (and when I use the worldmap command the box doesn't appear), but I cannot determine why.
EDIT: I am looking to remove the white background entirely, so as to have the main contour plot surrounded by the figure's background color, which in this case is the gray.
The background color of a figure is a property of that figure named 'color'.
If you set that property to the value 'none' then you will have no background.
So, the easiest way to do it is:
set(gca,'color','none')
Of course you can give a figure handle instead of the current axes (gca).
The more aggressive option is to set the entire axis off:
axis off
But this will remove the axis completely, including labels and such which might not be what you want.
Try axis off when it's in focus, axis(handle,'off') when not
I have a potential solution.
If you run
get(figure(1))
to find the figure attributes and run
set('some resize property',[some set of values])
or
setm('some resize property',[some set of values])
You may be able to 'fill in' the space this way, unless there is an easier property to change. Can you please give more details if this does not lead to a solution?
Hope this helps!
