version 4 question (yes 4!)

[MainRoads]

Hi All
here at work we have an old version 4 system,
One of the graphs the system creates is a bunch of circles at x-y locations
all very simple stuff

however when they get too close the labels attached to the circles overlap other circles etc and you cannot see what is behind the label

The question is - how can i make the label associated with the circle itself transparent so that if they DO overlap then we can see what is under the text ?
cheers

Hi Bob,

You could try if you can use transparency in v4. In v8 this works fine:

Code: Select all

Series1.Marks.Transparency := 50;

Or also you could try hiding the mark square completely:

Code: Select all

Series1.Marks.Transparent := true;

Or finally you could try moving your marks manually using OnAfterDraw event like in this thread

thanks - theres no Transparency option or I dont seem to be able to find it.

- darn - and the transparent = true option doesnt seem to make any difference at all.


Oh well such is life-
