With a surface chart visible, I select: Charteditor | Series | Surface | Pen Button This shows a small form with title: Border Editor The form cannot be resized, and when running large fonts on my system, a number of fields are not visible. There may be many more forms that have this behavior; I did...

Narcis, Pointing to the source code it looked obvious to me that this was happening, but seeing is believeing: --Paul procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject); var LS: TLineSeries; begin Chart1.View3D := false; LS := TLineSeries.Create(Chart1); LS.Pen.Width := 2; LS.FillSampleValues(6); Chart1.A...

I have used Madshi's madExcept with good results for these types of exotic problems. You need to buy a license to deploy the exception tracking, but for your own debugging I think the eval will work.

When I apply TFactsTheme I notice that line charts disappear. Looking at the code for Apply, I see that this is happening but wonder why this is done. Is this a bug or is this done for a reason I do not understand?? --Paul for t:=0 to SeriesCount-1 do with Series[t] do begin Pen.Visible:=False;

Please insert Before the for loop to see what I see

When I generate a chart with the code below, the 3D view is not correct. Note how on X=1, series2 is next to series 1, but seems to be behind series4. --Paul procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject); var B: integer; Bars: array[1..4] of TBarSeries; begin for B := 1 to 4 do begin Bars[B] := TBarS...

I wrote the following code to print on the default printer using a margin and print my chart proportional as large as possible. I appreciate any feedback (like this is in the library already etc.) --Paul procedure TChartFrame.Print1Click(Sender: TObject); var tmpMeta: TMetaFile; const Margin = 0.5; ...

Narcis,

Thanks! works like a charm.

This was important to get my printing routines working.

When I use the code below, I have two problems: 1. The right hand side of the transparent series is not transparent (it shows in 3D) 2. When I save the chart as an EMF file, the first series is no longer transparent; it is visible. PNG format and BMP format save the image as shown. I'm not sure if m...

Narcis,

In the non- GL version, rotate the graph around (play with the view) and
I think you will see that the surface goes too 'high' (too deep from a 3D
point of view). It does not go through the wall as it does in the GL version.

--Paul

When I set the minimum value for the bottom axis to a higher value, the left wall does not clip the chart. To demonstrate, my form contains a commander bar and a chart edior. After the chart is shown, change the view such that you see the left wall clearly and press the button on the form to change ...

Below a small example that shows the problem --Paul procedure TForm1.FormShow(Sender: TObject); var mySeries: TBarSeries; HorizAxis : TChartAxis; begin mySeries := TBarSeries.Create(Chart1); mySeries.FillSampleValues(6); Chart1.AddSeries(mySeries); HorizAxis := TChartAxis.Create(Chart1); mySeries.Cu...

I created a custom axis, with Horizontal = true, OtherSide=true, Position=0 so it sits on top of my chart and the text higher. When I select the series horizontal axis to be the top axis, the chart gets smaller so the title area is not obstructed. When I select my custom axis, the chart get larger a...
