Transparent fill in TPointSeries

Hello all,

I am trying to create a transparent fill in a TPointSeries in the code, but can't find the object to change it. If you use the TChart editor, it is under Format.Pattern and you just set it to None. But in the code, I've tried changing the series.brushstyle to bsNone, but doesn't work. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help,
Nick

Hi Nick,

You can use this:

Code: Select all

  Series1.Pointer.Brush.Style:=bsClear;

I'm afraid this feature isn't available now, at least at design time. I tried to achieve it by both Chart Editor and Object Inspector but out of success. To prove it I tried to do the same things in pre-compiled Tee8New and Tee9New demos. Is this expected feature change or a bug?
Cheers,
Alexander

Hello,

In the actual version, TeeChart v2015.14 I can achieve it both through the editor and by code:
- Through the editor, set the point to be transparent:

- By code, you can still do what Narcís pointed out above:

Code: Select all

  Series1.Pointer.Brush.Style:=bsClear;

Thanks for the reply. My problem is I still use mainly Delphi 5 (although have older versions ups to XE2) due to need in Win9x users support. So the latest build I'm able to use is Build 2012.07.121105. And I have source code up to Build 2013.08.130521. May you give me a tip how to cope with this sort of problem>?
Thanks in advance
Alexander

Hi Alexander,

This was a bug we identified here and fixed as a customer explains here.
Having the v2012.07 sources, you can just remove that line of code (line nº 15244 in TeEngine.pas) and it should fix it.
