Waveform

[PoLabs]

Hi,

I am using TChart and TFastLineSeries. I usually show up to 1024 data on chart. But I have in memory up to 8MB of data. I disabled ShowAllPoints but then idea about waveform type of display crossed my mine. I would like to show that 8MB of data at same time. If I do that computer performances drops which is logical. So Idea is to show 1024 points from that 8MB but in a way like waveform in musical programs is displayed.

Like here:

1. Is there any tool for TeeChart to do that. I was thinking about region tool?
2. What if I take two series (on inverted regarding other) is it possible to paint between that two series to recreate effect of waveform?

Thanks
Best regards.

Hi Polabs,

If you can draw it in four series, it wouldn't be difficult to use, as you say, TSeriesBandTool:

Code: Select all

uses Series, TeeSeriesBandTool;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var i, j: Integer;
begin
  Chart1.View3D:=false;

  for i:=0 to 3 do
  begin
    with Chart1.AddSeries(TLineSeries) do
    begin
      Add(i*100);
      for j:=1 to 499 do
        Add(YValue[j-1] + Random -0.5);
    end;
  end;

  with Chart1.Tools.Add(TSeriesBandTool) as TSeriesBandTool do
  begin
    Series:=Chart1[0];
    Series2:=Chart1[3];
    Brush.BackColor:=RGB(77, 61, 220);
    Series.Color:=Brush.BackColor;
    Series2.Color:=Brush.BackColor;
  end;

  with Chart1.Tools.Add(TSeriesBandTool) as TSeriesBandTool do
  begin
    Series:=Chart1[1];
    Series2:=Chart1[2];
    Brush.BackColor:=RGB(150, 150, 237);
    Series.Color:=Brush.BackColor;
    Series2.Color:=Brush.BackColor;
  end;
end;
