AxisBand cover annotation

Hi Pep, Chris & Co,

When I use an AxisBand (lets say 50% transparent) with DrawBehind = False, It covers pretty much everything.

I want it to cover the Panel and the series, but I would like to display an Annotation that is not covered by the AxisBand.

Is that possible without implementing the Band/Annotation drawing myself?

A wish: Some kind of layering level property on all object in the chart, to make it possible to determine what objects are painted in front of or behind each other.

I realize that that isn't "very" simple to do (

) but in future versions, perhaps? Mayby its even possible to do with some objects allready?

To summarize:

1. Is it possible to use an AxisBand (drawbehind = false) and display an Annotation over that?

2. Wish to be able to control drawing order.

Hi Fredrik,

1. Is it possible to use an AxisBand (drawbehind = false) and display an Annotation over that?

The only trick I can think of is to add first the ColorBand tool and then the Annotation tool. In this manner the Annotation will appear over the band.

2. Wish to be able to control drawing order.

Ok, I've added it on our wish list to be considered for the next releases.
