How to see a circle from each point of view - TPoint3DSeries

I like to see a full circle or a sphere from where ever I look to a 3D Point.

I am using a 3D chart and the rotate tool. The problem now is, if I look from the side, the Circle is like a plane. I only see a line.

Any idea how to get a result like in TeeOpenGL where a complete sphere is rendered ?

Hi ChZiegelt,

Yes, you could achieve it using OpenGL. Pace a TTeeOpenGL into your form and then use the following code:

Code: Select all

TeeOpenGL1.TeePanel := Chart1;  //associate the component to your chart
TeeOpenGL1.Active := True;  //activate the component
