dialog box for plot symbols?

I would like to display a dialog box to enable an end user to select the point symbols they would like to have used in a chart. Is there one within TeeChart? If not, is there a convenient source for the bitmaps for the symbols so I can create my own dialog?
Thanks,

Hello,
TeeChart has a TeePoEdi (.pas and .dfm) used in the Chart editor to allow changing the pointer in some series like TPointSeries or TLineSeries.
It looks like this:

Thanks but that is too much for what I want. I think it might overwhelm users with too many options. I would just like to display something that allows the selection of the symbol and its color and size. It might be possible to extract that form the TeePoEdi.pas unit but I do not have the source code.

Hello,
You can open the pointer editor without having the sources as follows:
Code: Select all
uses Series, TeePoEdi;
var Series1: TLineSeries;
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
Series1:=Chart1.AddSeries(TLineSeries) as TLineSeries;
Series1.FillSampleValues(10);
end;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
EditSeriesPointer(Self, Series1.Pointer);
end;
