Smoother graphics?

Hi Narcis,

as you know, we are using TeeChart 8 inside an MFC application. We'd like to know if it is possible to activate any option that improves the general quality graphic visualization (making 3D graphics smoother, for instance). We've seen some pics in Steema website where the same graphics are displayed in a much more eye-candy way; however, we don't know if this is possible only with the .NET version of TeeChart.

Any help for improving graphics quality will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Teltronic,

Most of the examples in the gallery are created using the .NET version which supports transparency for all pens and brushes. We are also working on a new rendering engine for VCL and ActiveX versions which will provide enhanced plotting and advanced drawing features. In the meantime you could try usnig AntiAlias filter as shown in the example at What's New?\New Chart Tools\Antialias Filter.

Also, I'll send you the sourcecode of some VCL examples trying to imitate the charts at the gallery. Same should be achieved with the ActiveX version.

Hi Narcis,

we had already seen this option. I guess we should wait until a new engine is released.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Teltronic,

The examples I sent you may also give you some hints on how to enhance your charts look.
