Pictures on Gantt Charts

[JD]

In our project we have a gantt chart. Each Bar is standing for another Person with a special job. Now we need to add to the bars picture, every picture will stand for the persons job and the picture should be visible in the first quarter of a bar.
Is there a simple solution to reach this?

Hello,

there's not a way to it automatically through methods and properties, but it can be accomplished by drawing directly onto the canvas using the Draw method. Here I show an example which draws an image into the first gantt bar :

Code: Select all

Private Sub TChart1_OnAfterDraw()
' This will add image for first gant....
TChart1.Canvas.Draw TChart1.Axis.Bottom.CalcXPosValue(TChart1.Series(0).XValues.Value(0)), _
                    TChart1.Axis.Left.CalcYPosValue(TChart1.Series(0).YValues.Value(0)) - _
                    TChart1.Series(0).asGantt.Pointer.VerticalSize / 2, _
                    Image1.Picture
End Sub

Works Great.
But now I have the problem that the images are also on the non charted area and I dont know how to use the ClipRectangle Function. Can you give just an example?

Hi JD,

You'll find an example of ClipRectangle's usage here.

Hope this helps!

Now it's working. But next Problem how can I make the Images on the Gantt transperance?

Hello,

I'm afraid this is not going to be possible, as the Draw method does not include transparency support. We'll add on our wish list to be considered for further releases.
