Zoom on null values

[Petar]

Hi,

I have a problem while zooming on area with null Values. Hereafter you can see all my charted values

allvalues.png (6.5 KiB) Viewed 6214 times

Before Zoom:

beforeZoom.png (33.02 KiB) Viewed 6215 times

After zoom on 18/11/10 -> 28/11/10 area

afterZoom.png (28.69 KiB) Viewed 6224 times

At the beginning (before zoom) the slope of the curve between 09/11/10: 46.11 and 22/11/10: 51.668 seems normal.
Just after zoom the slope changes significantly (between 18/11/10 -> 22/11/10) , because it links the value 0 of 18/11/10 with value 51.668 at 22/11/10.
I would like to have the same slope as the one between 09/11/10 and 22/11/10, because all values between these two dates are Null values ( added with ADDNULLXY function), and so 18/11/10 value of 0 should not be taken into account.
How should I proceed?

Thanks

Petar

Hi Petar,

I see your bottom axis is zoomed but not your left axis. Do you only have horizontal zoom enabled? Code snippet below doesn't produce such a chart for me here. If I zoom around 18th November I don't get the first segment painted:

Is this what you expected? Which TeeChart version are you using? Could you please modify code snippet below so that we can reproduce the problem here?

Code: Select all

Private Sub Form_Load()
    TChart1.Aspect.View3D = False
    TChart1.Axis.Bottom.Labels.DateTimeFormat = "dd/mm/yy"
    TChart1.AddSeries scLine
    TChart1.Series(0).asLine.TreatNulls = tnSkip
    TChart1.Series(0).XValues.DateTime = True
    TChart1.Series(0).AddXY CDate("8 / 11 / 2010"), 46.494, "", clTeeColor
    TChart1.Series(0).AddXY CDate("9 / 11 / 2010"), 46.11, "", clTeeColor
    TChart1.Series(0).AddNullXY CDate("10 / 11 / 2010"), 0, ""
    TChart1.Series(0).AddNullXY CDate("11 / 11 / 2010"), 0, ""
    TChart1.Series(0).AddNullXY CDate("12 / 11 / 2010"), 0, ""
    TChart1.Series(0).AddNullXY CDate("15 / 11 / 2010"), 0, ""
    TChart1.Series(0).AddNullXY CDate("16 / 11 / 2010"), 0, ""
    TChart1.Series(0).AddNullXY CDate("17 / 11 / 2010"), 0, ""
    TChart1.Series(0).AddNullXY CDate("18 / 11 / 2010"), 0, ""
    TChart1.Series(0).AddNullXY CDate("19 / 11 / 2010"), 0, ""
    TChart1.Series(0).AddXY CDate("22 / 11 / 2010"), 51.668, "", clTeeColor
    TChart1.Series(0).AddXY CDate("23 / 11 / 2010"), 50.363, "", clTeeColor
    TChart1.Series(0).AddXY CDate("24 / 11 / 2010"), 51.2, "", clTeeColor
    TChart1.Series(0).AddXY CDate("25 / 11 / 2010"), 50.25, "", clTeeColor
    TChart1.Series(0).AddNullXY CDate("26 / 11 / 2010"), 0, ""
    TChart1.Series(0).AddXY CDate("29 / 11 / 2010"), 52.15, "", clTeeColor
End Sub

Thanks in advance.

Hi Narcis,


I forgot to precise that I'm using fastlines. I'm using version 8 of TeeChart. You can check this code:

Code: Select all

  
  Private Sub Form_Load()
        TChart1.Aspect.View3D = False
        TChart1.Axis.Bottom.Labels.DateTimeFormat = "dd/mm/yy"
        TChart1.AddSeries (scFastLine)
        TChart1.Series(0).asFastLine.TreatNulls = tnSkip
        TChart1.Series(0).XValues.DateTime = True
        TChart1.Series(0).AddXY CDate("8 / 11 / 2010"), 46.494, "", clTeeColor
        TChart1.Series(0).AddXY CDate("9 / 11 / 2010"), 46.11, "", clTeeColor
        TChart1.Series(0).AddNullXY CDate("10 / 11 / 2010"), 0, ""
        TChart1.Series(0).AddNullXY CDate("11 / 11 / 2010"), 0, ""
        TChart1.Series(0).AddNullXY CDate("12 / 11 / 2010"), 0, ""
        TChart1.Series(0).AddNullXY CDate("15 / 11 / 2010"), 0, ""
        TChart1.Series(0).AddNullXY CDate("16 / 11 / 2010"), 0, ""
        TChart1.Series(0).AddNullXY CDate("17 / 11 / 2010"), 0, ""
        TChart1.Series(0).AddNullXY CDate("18 / 11 / 2010"), 0, ""
        TChart1.Series(0).AddNullXY CDate("19 / 11 / 2010"), 0, ""
        TChart1.Series(0).AddXY CDate("22 / 11 / 2010"), 51.668, "", clTeeColor
        TChart1.Series(0).AddXY CDate("23 / 11 / 2010"), 50.363, "", clTeeColor
        TChart1.Series(0).AddXY CDate("24 / 11 / 2010"), 51.2, "", clTeeColor
        TChart1.Series(0).AddXY CDate("25 / 11 / 2010"), 50.25, "", clTeeColor
        TChart1.Series(0).AddNullXY CDate("26 / 11 / 2010"), 0, ""
        TChart1.Series(0).AddXY CDate("29 / 11 / 2010"), 52.15, "", clTeeColor
    End Sub

Thanks,

Hi Petar,

The only solution I can think of is adding more intermediate points as a smoothing function would:

Code: Select all

    TChart1.AddSeries scFastLine
    TChart1.Series(1).SetFunction tfSmoothing
    TChart1.Series(1).DataSource = TChart1.Series(0)

However, smoothing function ignores null values so you should add intermediate points to your data.

[Petar]

Thank you for the solution, I think that we'll rather use the last non-null value.

Thanks,

Petar
