Color Gradient in TGanttSeries bars

Post by TF.Rangel » Wed Sep 16, 2009 6:48 pm

Hi,

Is there a way to specify a color gradient that is particular to each bar in TGanttSeries?

By setting a Gradient to the entire series and "Color Each" bar, I can set a gradient that goes from a standard color (StartColor in the gradient) to a color that is specific to each bar. However, I would like to define both colors in the gradient specific to each bar.

Something like...

GanttSeries.ValueColor.StartColor
and
GanttSeries.ValueColor.EndColor

Thanks in advance!

Thiago

Hi Thiago,

I'm afraid this is not possible for now. I'll add your request to the wish-list to be considered for inclusion in future releases.

Thank you Narcís. In fact, this is what I was suspecting.

Ok... but maybe I could use TMapSeries to draw the bars, instead of TGanttSeries. But is there a tool to control dragging and resizing a TTeePolygon of TMapSeries? Something like TGanttTool but for Polygons... I can not get TDragPointTool to work with polygons...

By the way, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Steema for TMapSeries, which is by far the greatest Series in TeeChart Pro 8. The flexibility that the TMapSeries provides, by allowing the customized polygons, is fantastic! Thus, I would like to encourage you guys to invest more work in TMapSeries, allowing, for example, 3D polygons. This, alone, would improve TeeChart package a lot!!!

Best!

I'm afraid not. The only solution I can think of is using a new Gantt series for each bar and you'll probably need a new TGanttTool for each series too.

Thank you very much for your compliments :!: I'll add your suggestions to the wish-list too.
