We can use the bar displayer displaying the gold bars as an example. We can create this displayer by using the following code:
IlvBarChartDisplayer* displayer =
new IlvBarChartDisplayer(IlvChartDisplayerWidth);
displayer->setForeground(dpy->getColor("red"));
displayer->setBackground(dpy->getColor("gold"));
Note: By default, the bars are outlined with the foreground color and filled with the background color the defined palette. They will be displayed only with the outline if the Drawn Filled property is set to IlvFalse.
