The colors also get reset if you set "ColorEach = true" or even if you don't set it at all.
You just can't see it with the colors you were trying, because your colors are the same as the default random colors. Try some pastel colors. In the code I just sent you, try changing buttonCreate_Click to the following:
Code: Select all
private void buttonCreate_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Bubble bubble1 = CreateBubbleSeries("Bubble 1");
bubble1.Add(10,10,2,Color.Thistle);
bubble1.Add(10,20,3,Color.Peru);
bubble1.Add(20,10,2,Color.PaleTurquoise);
bubble1.Add(15,15,2,Color.PeachPuff);
tChart1.Series.Add(bubble1);
}Maybe you did fix this in the debug build. I don't have time to try the debug build right now, but hopefully I can tomorrow.
Thanks,
Walt

Subject: RE: TeeChart.NET v2 Custom Colors
The problem seems to occur when I set "ColorEach" to false. If I don't set it at all, the problem goes away. I was setting ColorEach to false because I didn't want the random colors (but I set the colors myself when adding the bubble points). It was working ok with version 1 of TeeChart.NET, and it appears to be working ok in v2 until I export to ten file and then import it back.
I did not try the debug build, but I suspect that if you add "bubble1.ColorEach = false;" to the code you sent me, you will be able to duplicate the problem.
Here's the exact code I used to duplicate the problem (with all the settings I'm using on the bubble series in my actual app.):
Code: Select all

Subject: Re: TeeChart.NET v2 Custom Colors
Hi Walt,
I'm not able to reproduce it here using the code below and TeeChart for .NET v2 debug build available at our customer download area. Can you please test if this works for you and if necessary send us an example we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here?
Code: Select all
private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
bubble1.Add(10,10,2,Color.Red);
bubble1.Add(10,20,3,Color.Blue);
bubble1.Add(20,10,2,Color.Yellow);
bubble1.Add(15,15,2,Color.Green);
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
tChart1.Export.Template.Save(@"c:\temp\bubble.ten");
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
tChart1.Import.Template.Load (@"c:\temp\bubble.ten");
}
private void tChart1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
bubble1.Clear();
tChart1.Series.RemoveAllSeries();
}
Best Regards,
Narcís

Subject: TeeChart.NET v2 Custom Colors
I can't post this on the forums because they are still down.
I upgraded a project to TeeChart.NET v2 which has a bubble series with custom colors for each bubble (but NOT ColorEach option). Everything looks ok at first, but when I save the chart to a *.ten file, then import it back, all the colors are gone (all bubbles are the same color).
Please investigate.
Thanks,
Walt
