Add DrawLineItem from code

[stratadat]

I'm trying to add a DrawLineItem to a DrawLine tool associated with my chart using this code:

Code: Select all

Steema.TeeChart.Tools.DrawLineItem newLine = new Steema.TeeChart.Tools.DrawLineItem(drawLine1);
newLine.StartPos.X = 10;
newLine.StartPos.Y = 10;
newLine.EndPos.X = 50;
newLine.EndPos.Y = 50;

However, the line doesn't show up. I also tried calling Invalidate() on the chart and on drawLine1 and that doesn't work either. The tool has "Active" set to true. Any ideas?

Hi.

Perhaps the problem is the line lies ouside current axis scale? I've tried the following:

Code: Select all

Steema.TeeChart.Tools.DrawLineItem dli = new Steema.TeeChart.Tools.DrawLineItem(drawLine1);
dli.StartPos = new Steema.TeeChart.Drawing.PointDouble(10, 10);
dli.EndPos = new Steema.TeeChart.Drawing.PointDouble(50, 50);

tChart1.Axes.Bottom.SetMinMax(0, 50);
tChart1.Axes.Left.SetMinMax(0, 50);

and the line showed up as expected.

Yep, that was it. I was under the impression that the lines were relative to the X & Y of the chart itself but they're actually the X & Y of a particular axis.
