Colors in chart editor for TBoxSeries
Posted: Mon Jun 27, 2005 11:06 am
Hello,
There seems to be a problem with representing and changing the colors of box plots in the chart editor. By default the color of the main box of a box plot is white, and in the chart editor the little box in the upper right of the series page that shows the current color also shows white. But, when I double click on it the color selector dialog box shows a different color selected (the default red for the first series). No matter what color I choose there the actual box plot and the color indicator on the editor remain white.
I can change the box color by going to the Series|Box page, clicking the pattern button and changing the color there. But it would be a lot more convenient for the user (who may have numerous box plots on a single chart, and want to change them all to a different color) to be able to change it from the main Series page (or from the lists of series when using the tree view version of the editor, which I am).
It looks like, instead of showing the SeriesColor as in most plots, the color indicator for the box plots is showing Pointer.Brush.Color, but the editor is changing SeriesColor. I'd like to see either the editor change the Pointer color when the series color inidcator is clicked, or perhaps even better, have the color of the main box of the box plot controlled by the SeriesColor.
Is there an easy way I can change this myself? I've had a quick look at the source code but haven't yet found the sections that would be conbtrolling the behaviour I'm seeing.
Thanks.
Warren
