While zooming chart annotation misplaced

[Quant]

i placed annotation on my chart using following code

Code: Select all

 Steema.TeeChart.Tools.Annotation tAnnotation = new Steema.TeeChart.Tools.Annotation();
tAnnotation.Shape.Font.Color = Color.White;
tAnnotation.Shape.Font.Size = 10;
tAnnotation.Shape.Color = Color.Black;
tAnnotation.Text = strVal;
tAnnotation.Shape.CustomPosition = true;
tAnnotation.Shape.Left = e.X;
tAnnotation.Shape.Top = e.Y;
tAnnotation.Shape.Shadow.Visible = false;
tAnnotation.Shape.Transparent = true;
tChartMain.Tools.Add(tAnnotation);

after placing perfectly if i zoomed the chart then annotation is not following my chart zoom and actually moves away from series where i plotted it. Same this works well with Trendline tool without any problem for zoom.
I used following code for zooming

Code: Select all

tChartMain.Zoom.Active = true;
tChartMain.Zoom.Allow = true;
tChartMain.Zoom.Pen.Visible = true;
tChartMain.Zoom.Brush.Visible = true;
tChartMain.Zoom.MouseButton = MouseButtons.Left;
tChartMain.Zoom.Direction = ZoomDirections.Both;
tChartMain.Zoom.FullRepaint = true;
tChartMain.Zoom.Pen.Color = Color.White;
tChartMain.Zoom.Brush.Color = Color.White;
tChartMain.Zoom.Brush.Transparency = 100;

Kindly help me to get to the appropriate solution for this.

Quant,

You can achieve this by fixing the annotation position to the position of one of the series points, e.g.

Code: Select all

    Points series = new Points();
    Steema.TeeChart.Tools.Annotation tAnnotation = new Steema.TeeChart.Tools.Annotation();

    private void InitializeChart()
    {
      tChart1.Aspect.View3D = false;
      tChart1.Series.Add(series);
      series.FillSampleValues();

      tChart1.BeforeDrawSeries += tChart1_BeforeDrawSeries;
      
      tAnnotation.Shape.Font.Color = Color.White;
      tAnnotation.Shape.Font.Size = 10;
      tAnnotation.Shape.Color = Color.Black;
      tAnnotation.Text = "Annotation String";
      tAnnotation.Shape.CustomPosition = true;
      tAnnotation.Shape.Shadow.Visible = false;
      tAnnotation.Shape.Transparent = false;
      tChart1.Tools.Add(tAnnotation);
    }

    void tChart1_BeforeDrawSeries(object sender, Graphics3D g)
    {
      tAnnotation.Shape.Left = series.CalcXPos(5); //fix position to fifth point
      tAnnotation.Shape.Top = series.CalcYPos(5);
    }
