Problems with waterfall drawing

Post by Zems » Fri Mar 03, 2006 11:50 am

Hello,

we have a visualization problem when drawing more than 10 series in a waterfall model. The z-axis is too big to be shown in the window and leaves the window, the y-axis then seems not to be drawn, but if we resize the window (and with that change the drawing zone of the series), it may be visible.
Because we have to draw the amount of series shown in the waterfall variable (from 1 to 20+ , depends on how many we select), we need a solution here.
Using specific values for the 3D and ortho doesn't really work, neither does zoom. None of the values we tried gave us an acceptable result. So there has to be another solution, or is this a known feature that it is impossible to draw a large amount of series as a waterfall?

Would be great if you could give us some assistance here. In order to circumvent the problem with the waterfall we tried to use the AxTeeCommander, we thought it could might be possible to resize and rotate the waterfall so that all of the series would be accessible. But this would only be a displeased makeshift.

Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,

have you tried to set a Zoom value :

axTChart1.Aspect.Zoom = X;

depending on the number of the WaterFall series added ?

Hi Pep,

yes I tried to set a zoomvalue, but it won't work, or I don't know the correct values for this in order to draw it as we want to have it.

Now that we know how to add the AxTeeCommander (thanks for the help with that), we can rotate and resize our series to see them as we need them them. But this shows that there must be a possible setting (Chart3DPercent, OrthoAngle and Zoom or anything else) in order not to use the AxTeeCommander but draw them directly with these settings depending on how many series we're going to draw.

Hi,

yes, as it can be done with TeeCommander, you should be able to accomplish the same by code, you can find the related TeeCommander options using code into IAspect :
With tChart1
.Aspect.OrthoAngle = 0
.Aspect.Orthogonal = False
.Aspect.Zoom = 50
...
end With
