As we've discussed before, I believe, the ScrollPagerTool uses sets TChart.Chart.CustomChartRect to TRUE every time it is painted, so making these margins non-functional. One workaround would be:wakeup wrote:If I have a custom axis with a manually set margin and I add a page scroller it doesn respect the margin.

Yes, that's because when the ScrollPagerTool clones the Series internally, it clones a series with a custom axes specified onto a chart that does not have one.wakeup wrote:Please press first the button2 to add the custom axis, and then button1 to add the scrollpager
I don't understand you, the chart have the custom axis... what doesn't have the chart?Christopher wrote:Yes, that's because when the ScrollPagerTool clones the Series internally, it clones a series with a custom axes specified onto a chart that does not have one.wakeup wrote:Please press first the button2 to add the custom axis, and then button1 to add the scrollpager
Set the scrollPagerTool.series, before I do what? I cannot set the scrollpagertool.series before add the scrollepagertool. And I don't know when the user is going to be interested in add a scrollerpager or not...Christopher wrote: That is to say, if you wish to use a Custom Axis in a Chart with an associated ScrollPagerTool, please make sure you set the ScrollPagerTool.Series property before you do so, as one does by pressing button1 and then button2.
No, I'm not surprised you don't understand me, as you don't have access to the TeeChart source code and I do. If you had access to it, you would understand me much easier, I thinkwakeup wrote: I don't understand you, the chart have the custom axis... what doesn't have the chart?
No, that's not what I'm saying. The order is:wakeup wrote: Set the scrollPagerTool.series, before I do what? I cannot set the scrollpagertool.series before add the scrollepagertool. And I don't know when the user is going to be interested in add a scrollerpager or not...
So, do you mean Scrollpagertool doesn't support custom axis?Christopher wrote:No, I'm not surprised you don't understand me, as you don't have access to the TeeChart source code and I do.

The ScrollPagerTool is a very complex tool and uses several other TeeChart tools internally. One of these tools is the SubChartTool, and it is this tool that presents a *secondary* chart underneath the *primary* chart when you add in a ScrollPagerTool, and this *secondary* chart has a clone of the Series in the *primary* chart. If the series in the primary chart is cloned when it has a custom axis associated to it, when it is rendered in the secondary chart it does not appear, as the secondary chart does not actually contain a custom axes.
Yes in that order it runs, but I'm saying it doesn't run in this order:Christopher wrote:No, that's not what I'm saying. The order is:wakeup wrote: Set the scrollPagerTool.series, before I do what?

1) Add a Chart to a Windows Form
2) Add a series to the chart
3) Add a SubChartTool to the chart
4) Set the SubChartTool.Series property to the series in the chart
5) Add the custom axis to the series ("primary") of the chart
No, I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is that if you want to use Chart with a ScrollPagerTool and have the Series in the primary (top) Chart associated to a custom axis, then you will have to associate the custom axis to the Series before associating the Series to the ScrollPagerTool.Series property.wakeup wrote: So, do you mean Scrollpagertool doesn't support custom axis?
Yes, I know it doesn't run in that order, I have given you an explanation for why it doesn't run, I have just given you my best suggestion (above) for how to work in the case of having a Series associated with a custom axis in the primary (top) chart.wakeup wrote: Yes in that order it runs, but I'm saying it doesn't run in this order:
I think I do that. I associate the custom axis to the serie in button2, and then in Button1 I set the ScrollPagerTool.Series property...Christopher wrote:No, I'm not saying that.

So, is it not a bug? I need to do it in that order, because the normal behabiour of a user is to do it in that order...Christopher wrote: Yes, I know it doesn't run in that order
Yes, you do, my mistake. I shall restate my position:wakeup wrote:I think I do that. I associate the custom axis to the serie in button2, and then in Button1 I set the ScrollPagerTool.Series property...
What I'm saying is that if you want to use Chart with a ScrollPagerTool and have the Series in the primary (top) Chart associated to a custom axis, then you will have to associate the custom axis to the Series *AFTER* associating the Series to the ScrollPagerTool.Series property.
I don't see neither associating the custom axis to the Series *AFTER* associating the Series to the ScrollPagerTool.Series property nor associating the custom axis to the Series *BEFORE* associating the Series to the ScrollPagerTool.Series property as "normal" user behaviour.Christopher wrote:So, is it not a bug?

Code: Select all
private void InitializeChart()
{
tChart1[0].FillSampleValues();
tChart1.Series.Add(typeof(Line));
}I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for here, but you can line up the primary and secondary charts with code such as:wakeup wrote:Press button1, then button2. And finally what is missing in button4 in order to run sucessfully updating the data and having the axis in the scrollpager right?
Code: Select all
void tChart1_BeforeDraw(object sender, Steema.TeeChart.Drawing.Graphics3D g)
{
double maxVal = tChart1.Series[0].YValues.Maximum;
float width = tChart1.Graphics3D.TextWidth(maxVal.ToString(tChart1.Series[0].CustomVertAxis.Labels.ValueFormat));
Rectangle rect = tChart1.Chart.ChartRect;
rect.X = Steema.TeeChart.Utils.Round((width * 1) + 30);
rect.Width = tChart1.Width - 80;
tChart1.Chart.ChartRect = rect;
width *= 1.3f;
mt.SubChartTChart.Chart.CustomChartRect = true;
rect.X -= Steema.TeeChart.Utils.Round(width);
rect.Width += Steema.TeeChart.Utils.Round(width);
mt.SubChartTChart.Chart.ChartRect = rect;
}What I'm asking is how is the right way to update the data of a serie in that case. Itried with the code in the button4 but it creates a lot of new series in the subchart.Christopher wrote:
