Hello,

I've got a background I want to use for all my charts as a bitmap. But when I set the background, it does not seem to link to the image, it seems to load it into the tchart as a copy.

Is there any way to link to the original image file on disk? The whole reason for this was to be able to change the one image and therefore the appearance of every graph. But at the moment I seem to have to go back to each graph and manually clear the image before loading the changed one.

Thanks in advance,

Tony.

Hi Tony,

You could export the original chart as a TeeChart native template file and import it to the other charts. For more information about this subject please read tutorial 12. Tutorials can be found at TeeChart's program group.

Thanks in advance.

Hi TonyVSUK,

I'm afraid not unless you do it programmatically at runtime.

Any chance of changing this functionality so that it links back to the original image? Seems strange that it copies it rather than just links back.

Hi Tony,

I've added your request to the wish list to be implemented in future releases (TV52014655).

Thanks. Best functionality would be if it could take relative paths as well (eg, "..\..\images\backimage.jpg") so then you could move it to a different directory without having to update the graphs.
