Hi.
I am using the Delphi XE2 prerelease of TreeChart Pro V2011 and just wanted to report that the shadow of a bar series is looking quite strange with this version.
Before:
Now:
Will the shadow be corrected in the official release version?
best regards.

You are right, it worked fine in v2011.03 but in v2011.04. I've added it to the defect list to be fixed asap (TV52015903).
PS: I assume you meant "pie series" where you said "bar series", according to the pictures.

Hello Yeray.

Yes, I meant "pie"
I've added it to the defect list to be fixed asap
Could you please send me a fixed prerelease version when you have fixed this issue?
This would be great!
Best regards.

Hi.
I wonder if there might be a fix for this issue in the official release of the upcoming V2012.07?
Best regards.

Hi marder,
Build 2012.07.121105, the version we
published yesterday, is the official 2012.07 release.
The bug hasn't been fixed yet but we found where the problem is. Since you are a source code customer you may want to try implementing
TTeeCanvas3D.SmoothShadow at TeCanvas.pas like this:
Code: Select all
procedure TTeeCanvas3D.SmoothShadow(Shadow:TTeeShadow; const Rect:TRect;
Ellipse:Boolean; RoundSize:Integer;
const P:Array of TPoint;
DonutPercent:Integer=0;
const Z:Double=0);
begin
if Shadow.Smooth and (not Metafiling) {$IFNDEF FMX}and Assigned(FBitmap){$ENDIF} then
Shadow.InternalDrawSmooth(Self,
CalcRect3D(Rect,Round(Z)),
Ellipse,RoundSize,P,DonutPercent)
else
inherited;
end;
That's similar to how it was implemented before introducing the bug. Now we will investigate the reason for this change and try to find a permanent fix for the issue.

Hi Narcis.
I downloaded final version V2012.07.
After installation I run "TeeRecompile.exe" and get the following error:
===============================================
TeeChart Pro
Compilation started: 09.11.12 13:39:22
RAD XE2.Win32 v16 Architect (RAD XE v9 Architect)
EXCEPTION:
Text: unit TeeChart not found in TeeChart.pas
--------------------------------------------
How can I get it to run?
Best regards.

Hi Marder,
Please, remove the TeeChart.pas file and try it again.

Hi Yeray,
Thank you that worked.
The shadow is again drawn as expected.
Please let me know when there is a new maintenance release including this fix.
Until then I will use the customization.
Best regards.

Hi marder,
As an update, TV52015903 has been fixed for the next maintenance release. The fix is at the TPieSeries.DrawAllValues method, in Series.pas:
Code: Select all
if FShadow.Visible then
FShadow.DrawEllipse(ParentChart.Canvas,
ParentChart.Canvas.CalcRect3D(CircleRect,tmpShadowZ),
tmpShadowZ,DonutPercent);
You should remove the change I suggested in TeCanvas.pas and change
FShadow.DrawEllipse call as shown above.
