Hi Eric,

This can not be automatically done because bar series doesn't have RadiusValues valuelist. However you can do it manually doing something like this:

Code: Select all

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim Bubble1 As Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Bubble = New Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Bubble(TChart1.Chart)
        Dim i As Integer

        For i = 0 To Bar1.Count - 1
            Bubble1.Add(Bar1.XValues(i), Bar1.YValues(i), 10)
        Next i

        TChart1.Series.Remove(Bar1)
    End Sub

Hi Eric,

It works fine for me here. Could you please send us an example we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here?

You can post your files at news://www.steema.net/steema.public.attachments newsgroup.

Dear

I'm not able to post the sample test program. error message "No sender was specified, Please check your news account configuration"

Anyway below is the code that can not change bar to bubble.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim i, b As Integer
For i = 0 To 0
AddSeries("Yong " & i)
For b = 0 To 80
AddSeriesItem(i, Rnd(999) * 100000, "Eric " & b)
Next
Next
Dim objChartStyle As New Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Bar3D
Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Series.ChangeType(TChart.Series(0), objChartStyle.GetType)
objChartStyle = Nothing
End Sub
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim Bubble1 As Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Bubble = New Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Bubble(TChart.Chart)
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To TChart.Series(0).Count - 1
Bubble1.Add(TChart.Series(0).XValues(i), TChart.Series(0).YValues(i), 10)
Next i
TChart.Series.Remove(TChart.Series(0))
End Sub
Public Sub AddSeriesItem(ByVal SeriesIndex As Long, ByVal value As Double, ByVal DisplayName As String)
Call TChart.Series(SeriesIndex).Add(value, DisplayName, TChart.Series(SeriesIndex).Color)
End Sub
Public Sub AddSeries(ByVal SeriesTitle As String)
TChart.Series.Add(New Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Bar)
TChart.Legend.LegendStyle = Steema.TeeChart.LegendStyles.Series
TChart.Series(TChart.Series.Count - 1).Title = SeriesTitle
TChart.Series(TChart.Series.Count - 1).Color = Color.Red
End Sub

Thank
Eric

Hi Eric,

You can not see the bubbles because they are to small compared to the left axis scale which has a very wide range. One easy way to see that is setting bubble marks visible:

Code: Select all

        Bubble1.Marks.Visible = True

Then you just have to zoom around a mark and after a few zooms done you'll see a small bubble appearing.

You'll solve that adding smaller values to the original series or setting a bigger radius for the bubbles. The code below works:

Code: Select all

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim i, b As Integer
        For i = 0 To 0
            AddSeries("Yong " & i)
            For b = 0 To 80
                AddSeriesItem(i, Rnd(999) * 100000, "Eric " & b)
            Next
        Next

        Dim objChartStyle As New Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Bar3D
        Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Series.ChangeType(TChart(0), objChartStyle.GetType)
        objChartStyle = Nothing
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click

        Dim Bubble1 As Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Bubble = New Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Bubble(TChart.Chart)
        Dim i As Integer

        For i = 0 To TChart(0).Count - 1
            Bubble1.Add(TChart(0).XValues(i), TChart(0).YValues(i), 1000)
        Next i

        TChart.Series.Remove(TChart(0))

    End Sub

    Public Sub AddSeriesItem(ByVal SeriesIndex As Long, ByVal value As Double, ByVal DisplayName As String)
        Call TChart(SeriesIndex).Add(value, DisplayName, TChart(SeriesIndex).Color)
    End Sub

    Public Sub AddSeries(ByVal SeriesTitle As String)
        TChart.Series.Add(New Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Bar)
        TChart.Legend.LegendStyle = Steema.TeeChart.LegendStyles.Series
        TChart(TChart.Series.Count - 1).Title = SeriesTitle
        TChart(TChart.Series.Count - 1).Color = Color.Red
    End Sub

Dear Narcís

Yes! It work! but why the legend don't not show the bubble color?
TChart.Legend.Symbol.Visible = True.

What can I do to let the legend show the symbol color?

Thank & Best Regard

Hi Eric,

This is because each bubble has a different color. To display the color on the legend you need to use:

Code: Select all

        Bubble1.ColorEach = False

or

Code: Select all

        TChart.Legend.LegendStyle = Steema.TeeChart.LegendStyles.Values

Hi Eric,

I've splitted your last reply into another topic as it doesn't have much to do this thread.
