Transparent Chart

Post by Bill » Mon Feb 03, 2014 10:21 pm

Is there a way to make the TChart it self transparent? For example, if I drop two TChart frames on a form, and have the two charts overlapped. Can I set the TChart property so that curves from both charts are displayed, rather then on e chart is covered by another chart?

Thanks

Bill

Thanks for the post. The example worked with the TMapSeries. However, if I change to a TFastLineSeries, and try to zoom or panning, as you can imagine, the result is not desirable. IS there a way to pass the background Canvas and draw on that? Can that be a solution?

Thanks.

Hi Bill,

I made an example with a FastLine series, find it attached. I removed the chart, added a new one, assigned the OnBeforeDrawChart event and hide the back wall. Does this work as you expect?
