In an earlier thread I mentioned this code was failing:

series1.Clear;
series1.ClearPalette();
series1.UseColorRange:=false;
series1.UsePalette:=true;

series1.PaletteSteps:=10;
series1.UsePaletteMin := false;
series1.PaletteStep := 100;
series1.PaletteMin := 0;

// For testing - in practice these will all be diff.
series1.AddPalette(100,ClAqua);
series1.AddPalette(200,ClAqua);
series1.AddPalette(300,ClAqua);
series1.AddPalette(400,ClAqua);
series1.AddPalette(500,ClAqua);
series1.AddPalette(600,Clred);
series1.AddPalette(700,Clred);
series1.AddPalette(800,Clred);
series1.AddPalette(900,Clred);
series1.AddPalette(1000, clRed);

y := 0;
for z := 0 to 60 do
for x := 0 to 85 do
begin
series1.AddXYZ(x, y, z);
y := (y + 1) mod 1001 ;
end;

I updated to 7.04 - and I have exactly the same trouble. However, if I remove these four lines:

series1.PaletteSteps:=10;
series1.UsePaletteMin := false;
series1.PaletteStep := 100;
series1.PaletteMin := 0;

as I just discovered it seems to work. I don't know why this would make a difference as AFAICT these are the same values that are set at design time - any ideas?

Hi Rick,

the correct code should be :

Hi,

yes, test it here and works fine (using the latest TeeChart Pro v7.04).

Yes, I found the issue. When you call ClearPalette, it does more than clear the color pallet. If you step down into the code you will see that it clears ALL settings related to the TColorGridSeries.

I think this should be a bug. It is clearing more than the color palette. When this is called, you must than reset all parameters for this chart. This means that in my realtime imaging application, I have to reinitialize all chart parameters in time critical routines if i want to change the color palette.

Hi,

ok, we'll review this in order to see what can we do.
