Rotating 3D chart outline Rotates outside Chart Boundaries

[Mike Jones]

When rotating outline of a 3D chart it is very easy to get the wire frame to rotate outside the bounds of the chart's drawing area.

To see this behavior

• Go to the TeeChart for .NET Examples.
  Click on "All Features", go to Welcome !\Tools\Rotate Outline
  Check the "Draw outline" check box, rotate the chart so that the top left corner extends up into the banner of the application
  Rotate the Chart now back to its initial view.

Notice that the outline remains drawn into the banner of the application

Issue #1: Think the outline needs to be clipped to the drawing canvas. I verified that this same problem will extend to other forms that TeeChart control does not belong to. If I drop the TeeChart Control onto a form and then rotate use the rotate outline tool, I can easily get the outline to exend over anything that is behind this new form and it will leave the wire frame drawn on it forever.

Issue #2: it is very easy to get the chart to draw over the chart title and for the axis title to become unreadable.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for reporting. I've been able to reproduce the issue here and added it (TF02012391) to our defect list to be fixed for future releases.

Has there been any progress regarding this issue. We are getting close to releasing our product into the marketplace and soon we will have many users. This issue is significant because the user can easily rotate the chart in such a way that makes the chart not very readible.

It will be a significant problem for our users.

I would like to know when I might expect a soution.

Thanks.

Hi Mike,

No, I'm afraid there's still no solution for TF02012391.
