BarSeries and mbSelfStack

[AHa]

I have a chart with some BarSeries that are displayed with MultiBar:=mbSelfStack.

Is it possible to display the Series-name under each BarSeries-Stack?

I ckecked BottomAxis.LabelStyle, but there is no option for the seriesname.
I also used GetAxisLabel, but it is only called for each SeriesValue.
If I have 5 Bars and each Bar has only 3 Values GetAxisLabel is called only 3 times and I can place the seriesname only under 3 Bars.

Also if the series-count is larger than the value-count of the bars they are overlapped. It can be corrected with BarWidthPercent, but can this calculated correct by default?

Hi Andreas,

Could you please send us a simple example project we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here and let us know the TeeChart version you are using?

You can either post your files at news://www.steema.net/steema.public.attachments newsgroup or at our upload page.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I have uploaded the file "Tee7SelfStack.zip" created with Delphi 7 and TeeChart 7.05.
The problem should be visible at design- and run-time, if the datavalue-count is smaller than the series-count.
The "Series"-Title should be visible on the axis, because I need to display other things in the legend.

Hi Andreas,

I think that the best (and easy) way to accomplish would be by using the Custom Axis labels feature, simply use the following code at the end of the FormShow :

Code: Select all

  Chart1.axes.Bottom.items.Clear;
  for i := 0 to Chart1.SeriesCount-1 do
    with Chart1.Axes.Bottom do
      Items.Add(i,'Series' + inttostr(i));

Also if the series-count is larger than the value-count of the bars they are overlapped. It can be corrected with BarWidthPercent, but can this calculated correct by default?

Yes, it's a known problem, for the moment there's not an automatic way to fix it, it must be done as you said by using the BarWidthPercent.
