Area series + Stairs + 3D = problem

Post by Masch » Tue Aug 02, 2005 8:47 pm

Hi,
I’m using TeeChart Pro 7.04 with Delphi 7. During my work I’ve found small bug. Way to reproduce my problem:

Place on chart one AreaSeries with Stairs option checked. Turn the 3D view ON (not orthogonal) and change the rotation property. When rotation is less than 180* AreaSeries looks like "inverted". What is more an annoying 1px gap appears between values (bars).

Has anyone found some way to fix this bug? In my opinion Series.pas unit needs small correction :?:

Thanks,
Masch, Poland

Please find some solution, because AreaSeries with stairs are essential in my application. What is more LineSeries with stairs have the same bug.

When the stairs mode is OFF, everything goes OK ... Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hi Masch,

sorry for delay!, I was trying fo find a workaround for this problem.
For the moment I only can tell you that it's a bug which has been writed down our defect list and a fix for it will be considered to inclusion for the next maintenance releases. In meantime maybe you could make use of the Bar Series instead, setting the :
% Bar Deph to 100
% Bar Width to 100
% Bar Offset to 50
Bar Side Margins to true.

Thanks Pep,
I think that I've found temporary workaround for this bug. It's easy: when
Rotation is <180, you have to set InvertedStairs property to True for every Line or Area Series. That makes series "double inverted", so they look normal (except 1px gap).
I'm looking forward for the next maintenance release :)

Best regards!
