Hi,

I'm looking to add a sales funnel to an application I'm working on. In the demos and series I see pyramids, triangles and cones but nothing that would really work for a sales funnel. The pyramid looks best but the traditional sales funnel has the narrow end of the funnel either on the bottom (vertical funnel) or on the right (horizontal funnel). CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and Sales Funnels are becoming pretty important in business now and more so into the future.

If the pyramid could be rotated either 90 degrees clockwise (horizontal funnel) or 180 degrees (vertical funnel) that would work. Also if the pyramid could be rounded.

I've been tasked with producing a 5 or 6 segment horizontal sales funnel - the segments would have different percentages displayed depending on the data source.

Any ideas?

Thanks
.

Vertical funnel: If you invert the Left Axis, the TPyramidSeries will look as rotated 180 degrees.

Horizontal funnel: Have you seen the TVolumePipeSeries? If you set it's ConePercent property to 100, it looks weird in 3D but it looks fine in 2D.

To round it, this doesn't look bad (but Chart3DPercent at 100 gives a strange result):

Code: Select all

  Chart1.Chart3DPercent:=97;

  Chart1.Aspect.Orthogonal:=false;
  Chart1.Aspect.Rotation:=324;
  Chart1.Aspect.Elevation:=348;

An alternative would be using OpenGL (here you can put Chart3DPercent at 100 without problems):
