Layout Questions

[Cartegraph]

I have a two layout Questions. The first is I have a bar graph, screen capture of it is attached call bar graph. The data and labels are getting cut off by the edge of the controls. How do I get the bar graph to stay within the control size. My tchart control in embedded in an active X report.

My second question is regarding a pie chart. A screen capture is attached called pie chart. The data labels are over lapping one another. Is there a way to make them place in free sapce instead of overtop of one another?

Hi Cartergraph,

I have a two layout Questions. The first is I have a bar graph, screen capture of it is attached call bar graph. The data and labels are getting cut off by the edge of the controls. How do I get the bar graph to stay within the control size. My tchart control in embedded in an active X report.

Can you please attach a simple example project we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here?

You could try doing something as Pep suggested here. This a TeeChart for .NET thread but the same could apply to the ActiveX version.

Attached is a .Net Visual studio project displaying the problem with the grid and labels being cut off.

I also attached the exe for the mini project incase you can't open the visual studio n2010 project.

I will try the coded suggestion for the overlapping callouts, I guess I just expected the control to be able to handle that.

I tried the coded solution for the overlapping labels and unfornutaly i am in VBS with the contorl inside a report and i don't have acces to the porperties used in that fix. Any other suggestions?

Hi Elizabeth,

Attached is a .Net Visual studio project displaying the problem with the grid and labels being cut off.

If labels are cut off by chart axes/walls you can use this:

Code: Select all

            axTChart1.Series(0).Marks.Clip = false;

However, in your examples they are cut off by chart dimensions. In that case the only solution I can think of also is using custom marks position to plot them at a slightly different location, for example:

http://www.teechart.net/support/viewtop ... s+position

I tried the coded solution for the overlapping labels and unfornutaly i am in VBS with the contorl inside a report and i don't have acces to the porperties used in that fix. Any other suggestions?

Are those missing properties available outside a report? If so the only solution I can think of is drawing the chart outside the report, export it to an image and use that image into the report.

you are right the clip setting did not work.

When i tried the code, where it drills down into the postions (Marks.Positions.Position(ii).Custom = True & .Marks.Positions.Position(ii).LeftTop.Y = yValue), thsoe values could not be evalued and i get an unknown exception. I got a simailr error when i tried to re-write the code in c# in the sample project in .Net.
As a side note, the compiler would not allow me to call the InternalRepaint giving the error message: "Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, and new object expressions can be used as a statement"

What's interesting is that if i add a title with Text and the Left axis to visible, nothing gets cut off. The problem is my designer does not want a left axis or a title. Are there other properties i need to set to support that?

Hi Cartergraph,

Try callin InternalRepaint with parenthesis, like this:

Code: Select all

axTChart1.Environment.InternalRepaint();

If the problem persists please attach a simple example project we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here.

Thanks in advance.

Any suggestions on the data that is getting cut off?

Hi Cartergraph,

You could try increasing axes MinimumOffset and MaximumOffset.
