Hi,

D7 and Teechart Pro Vcl 7.04

exemple sample , you have too serie
serie1 with
point 1 = 10:00 15.5
point 2 = 11:00 23.3
point 3= 12:00 27.0

and Serie 2 with
point 1 = 08:30 42
point 2 = 15:00 24

how take for the retreive graphic value from series 2 at each point serie 1

serie 1 serie 2
point 1 = 10:00 15.5 ?
point 2 = 11:00 23.3 ?
point 3= 12:00 27.0 ?

if you have a example or the best practice ??

Hi MD,

Assuming both series have the same number of points you can use the following code in the TChart's MouseMove event.

Code: Select all

procedure TForm1.Chart1MouseMove(Sender: TObject; Shift: TShiftState; X,
  Y: Integer);
var
  ValueIndex: Integer;
begin
  ValueIndex:=Series1.Clicked(X,Y);

  if (ValueIndex <> -1) then
    Chart1.Title.Text[0]:=FloatToStr(Series2.XValue[ValueIndex]) + ', ' +
                          FloatToStr(Series2.YValue[ValueIndex]);
end;

hi

tank,

But not same number of point in each séries, this is difficult in my PB

I find the kind linear or extrapolation solution !!!!

Hi MD,

Then interpolating the series is necessary. You can do something like the code below. I'm also going to post the full project at [url]news://www.steema.net/steema.public.attachments[/url] newsgroup.

Code: Select all

function TForm1.InterpolateLineSeries(Series: TChartSeries; FirstIndex,
                                   LastIndex: Integer; XValue: Double): Double;
var
  Index: Integer;
  dx,dy: Double;
begin
  for Index:=FirstIndex to LastIndex do
    if Series.XValues.Value[Index]>XValue then break;

  //safeguard
  if (Index<1) then Index:=1
  else if (Index>=Series.Count) then Index:=Series.Count-1;

  // y=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)*(x-x1)+y1
  dx:=Series.XValues.Value[Index] - Series.XValues.Value[Index-1];
  dy:=Series.YValues.Value[Index] - Series.YValues.Value[Index-1];

  if (dx<>0) then
    result:=dy*(XValue - Series.XValues.Value[Index-1])/dx + Series.YValues.Value[Index-1]
  else result:=0;
end;

function TForm1.InterpolateLineSeries(Series: TChartSeries;XValue: Double): Double;
begin
  result:=InterpolateLineSeries(Series,Series.FirstDisplayedIndex,Series.LastValueIndex,XValue);
end;


procedure TForm1.ChartTool1Change(Sender: TCursorTool; x, y: Integer;
  const XValue, YValue: Double; Series: TChartSeries; ValueIndex: Integer);
var
  i: Integer;
begin
  With Chart1.Title.Text do
  begin
    Clear;
    for i:=0 to Chart1.SeriesCount - 1 do
        Add(Chart1[i].Name + ': Y('+FloatToStr(XValue)+')= ' +
            FloatToStr(InterpolateLineSeries(Chart1[i],XValue))+#13#10);
  end;
end;

Ok, i found this good example who function with
same number of point in each series.

But how take with not same number of point ???

Hi MD,

It works fine for me here using different number of points for each series, try populating your series doing something like:

Code: Select all

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
  i: Integer;
begin
  for i:=0 to Chart1.SeriesCount - 1 do Chart1[i].FillSampleValues(10+1*i);
end;

Then the code I posted will interpolate each series value according to the current TCursorTool position and will display the interpolation on TChart's title.

Ok tank

this functionne with other points, but the good formule
is // y=((y2-y1)*(x-x1)) / (x2-x1) +y1

not // y=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)*(x-x1)+y1

bye

Hi MD,

this is what is actually calculated:

Code: Select all

result:=dy*(XValue - Series.XValues.Value[Index-1])/dx + Series.YValues.Value[Index-1]

How calculate YValue from other series??
