Chart Colors Differ after Upgrade
Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2023 12:43 pm
For the last several months I’ve been using the evaluation version of TeeChart v2022 waiting for the red tape to be cut and an upgrade made. Bentley finally purchased the upgrade. Due to an issue with installing the license, I compiled the source locally since we also purchased the source code. This removed the watermark.
The problem I’m running into is that our graphs do not look the same between the old version and the new version. The *only* thing that has changed is the upgrade with minor adjustments due to changes in API (how a Legend is set to Visible, etc.). How we construct and setup series in a graph has *not* changed. I was really hoping the change in colors was part of the evaluation version but I was apparently wrong.
Here is an example.
The first image is from our current release that uses v2009: This is the same graph after upgrading to TeeChart v2022: If the colors were simply a variation on the shade of grey, that would be one thing. But to go from grey to orange is something completely different. I checked our code and we are using Color.LightGrey. How does that translate into orange by anyone’s imagination?
Here are the graph options. Left is pre-upgrade and right is post-upgrade: In the options on the right there is a series missing (HGL (Area)) and the colors are wrong.
This is a serious issue and not something I expected from upgrading.
What can I do to fix this on our end or is this something that needs to be fixed on your end?
Thanks,
Kris
