– OneColorGradient method

– TwoColorGradient method

sht.api.Range(‘A1:B7’).Select()

cht=sht.api.Shapes.AddChart().Chart

ser=cht.SeriesCollection(‘P1’)    #First series

ff=ser.Format.Fill

ff.Transparency=0.7

ser2=cht.SeriesCollection(‘P2’)    #Second series

ff2=ser2.Format.Fill

ff2.OneColorGradient(1,1,1)
