changing the line 'pen' to dash or dot

Dear Supporter,
I'm using Build 2.0.2040.15119 and found the following problem: changing the pen to draw a (for instance) dotted line, changes the line in the legend but not the line on the graph.

Code snippet:
Dim lineseries As Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Line
lineseries = serie
lineseries.LinePen.Style = Drawing2D.DashStyle.Dot

As I understood it, this problem was solved in this version (see release specs).
If this is a known bug, could this be prioritised for repair as it is a very basic function in plotting multiple series in black and white (for reports and publications).

Cheers
Francis

Hi Francis,

It works fine for me using the same version as you and the code below. Can you please test if this works for you?

Code: Select all

        Dim lineseries As New Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Line
        TChart1.Series.Add(lineseries)
        lineseries.FillSampleValues()
        lineseries.LinePen.Style = Drawing2D.DashStyle.Dot

BTW: Please notice that this forum is for VCL TeeChart version. We would appreciate that when you post a message related to .NET version you posted it at the TeeChart for .NET forum.

Hi Narcis,
Sorry, my mistake

, it should have gone to the .Net forum (can you move it?).

My problem has been resolved

and I think there were two issues:
1: during compilation I got a warning that the new TeeChart file (library I think) could not override the old one. Manually removing the dll's solved that one.
2: there are a lot of data points in the series which seem to 'fuse' the dots into a solid line (would that make sense?).

Thanks for your help,
Cheers
Francis

Don't worry, just post next messages on the .NET forum.

Yes, this needs to be done in some cases.

2: there are a lot of data points in the series which seem to 'fuse' the dots into a solid line (would that make sense?).

Yes, this would also make sense.
