Legend Overlaping Data

[Cartegraph]

Good Morning!

I am having two layout issues that I am hopping you can help me with regarding the Tchart control. Here is a attached is a screen shot of my running chart.
The TChart control is embedded in an Data Dynamics - Active Report report. The problems I am having is the grey line around the right and bottom of the control and the legend covering part of the chart data.

The grey line seems pretty straight forward, but I have tried the border, Frame and Shadow properties on the TChart object with no luck to getting rid of the line.

The Legend problem seems a little more complex. I am not sure what I can try to make that work.

On item that I think may or may not be related is that not all the properties "stick" when I set them through the GUI. What I mean but that is if I set the visible for the left Axis to false in the GUI the change persists through multiple runs of the report and a save of the report.

However if I set the Legend visibility to True in the GUI and then save the report and run it. I still don't see the legend on the report. So I added a piece of code behind the report to set the visibility of the legend to true (TChart1.Legend.Visible = True). The report file is an xml file and the control is represented in hex in the xml. As an example here is the representation of the control as shown in the image above.

<Control Type="TeeChart.TChart.8" CLSID="{BDEB0088-66F9-4A55-ABD2-0BF8DEEC1196}" Name="TChart1" Left="0" Top="720" Width="7200" Height="4320">

</Control>

What is really weird is that it seems hit or miss what properties "stick" and not consistent. In one report the legend visibility property will "Stick" and another it won't. One thing that is consistent is that once a property "sticks" it does not appear to every disappear again.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi Elizabeth,

Does this occur in a TeeChart application outside ActiveReports? Can you please attach a simple example project we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here?

Thanks in advance.

Attached is a .Net Visual studio project with the grey line displaying on the right and bottom side of the control like I am seeing in my report.

I was also able to reproduce the legend covering part of the chart data, however I found out that it was because I had the Legend.CustomPosition set to true. Once I set this to false and .Legend.ResizeChart to True it worked great!

I also attached the exe for the Visual studio project incase you can't open the visual studio 2010 project.

Hi Elizabeth,

Thanks for the example project. You just need to set panel's outer bevel to none:

Code: Select all

            axTChart1.Panel.BevelOuter = TeeChart.EPanelBevel.bvNone;

Thanks!
