I am trying to add an array of X and an array of Y values to a TLineSeries (TFastLineSeries) using BCB 6.0. I cannot see how to do this from the examples. Any assistance would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi MTW,

You can find an example at All Features\Welcome!\Speed\Fast Dynamic Arrays at the new features demo, available at TeeChart's program group.

Thank you.

However, when I run Tee8New.exe, I get an error "Class TSurfaceSides Not Found" and when I go to All Features\Welcome\Speed\Fast Dynamic Arrays, I do not get the example showing.

Perhaps you could identify the module that uses arrays for both X and Y variables. I am able to use AddArray for Y variables, but I do not see how to do it for the X data elements as well.

Hi MTW,

AddArray only supports adding Y values array. For adding X and Y values you need to do as in the menitoned example, which is very similar to the Real-time Charting article here.

Which TeeChart version are you using? I'll send you the URL to download v8.03 which is a test version. We will soon release v8.04.

I am using V 8.0.

I have seen the article and am trying to figure out how to get it done in C - BCB v6.0.

If there is a BCB example, as demonstrated in the article, in one of the modules in the example folders, I will gladly look at it. If not, is it possible to include a few lines of code showing how to add the X and Y arrays in C.

Thank you

Hello,

This is how can you add X and Y values arrays to series using BCB 6:

Code: Select all

  // TChartValues
  DynamicArray<double> X;
  DynamicArray<double> Y;
  // number of points }
  int Num = StrToInt(Edit1->Text);

  // allocate our custom arrays }
  X.Length = Num;
  Y.Length = Num;

  // fill data in our custom arrays }
  X[0] = 0;
  Y[0] = random(10000);
  for (int t=1; t<Num;t++)
  {
    X[t] = t;
    Y[t] = Y[t-1]+random(101)-50;
  }

  // set our X array }
  Series1->XValues->Value =(TChartValues)(X);  // <-- the array
  Series1->XValues->Count = Num;               // <-- number of points
  Series1->XValues->Modified = true;           // <-- recalculate min and max

  // set our Y array }
  Series1->YValues->Value = (TChartValues)(Y);  // <-- the array
  Series1->YValues->Count = Num;               // <-- number of points
  Series1->YValues->Modified = true;           // <-- recalculate min and max

  Chart1->UndoZoom(); // <-- remove zoom (optional)

  // Show data
  Series1->Repaint();

Hope this helps!

Thank you very much. I was close in some of my attempts, based upon the article and porting it to C, but your example resolves all the issues I ran into.

I am now using TeeChart VCL 8.06 in both BCB 6.0 and CodeGear 2010.

Your description of using an array for adding both X and Y values allows me to code it and use the functions as described. However, I am now using it for real time graphics, where I want to add a set of data to a chart (that has existing data). I would like to retain the existing data, unless I am over my display number of points, when then I use the Delete function. What I am seeing is that when I add the X,Y values as shown, it is replacing the existing data set with the new set and all previous data is lost.

Is there a way to add the X Y array (C++ code) to existing data in the graph? In the realtime article, it shows that data can be added to Value.Last. Is there any way to do this with an array?

Thank you
M Weingarden

Hi

The AddArray function is a feature request already in the with list (TV52014513), as you can see here.
I've incremented it's priority.
