Problems with Bar colours in V3.2.2831.26852

[Adrian]

When a bar chart has solid colours, editing the series and changing the colour just changes the colour of the bar borders, however if the bar is set to show a gradient then changing the colour does in fact change the colour.

Hi Adrian,

That's not true, colour changes if you go to Series -> Format -> Format tab and use the "Color" button.

Can you please try this at your end?

[Adrian]

Doesn't work...

the Series -> Format -> Format tab and the "Color" button only change the bar edge colours the line, not the bar colour. The bar colour does change if the gradient is turned on.

Hi Adrian,

Try the following please:

1. Go to the All Features\Welcome !\Chart styles\Standard\Bar\Self stacked example in the features demo.
2. Double click in the yellowish textbox above the example to edit the chart.
3. Go to Series -> Format -> Format tab.
4. Check that the gradient is disabled.
5. Now click the Color button and try changing it.

This changes the bars colour for me here. Does it work fine at your end?

Thanks in advance!

[Adrian]

yes that does work, however try this on the area charts

1. Go to the All Features\Welcome !\Chart styles\Standard\AREA\Stack Groups example in the features demo.
2. Double click in the yellowish textbox above the example to edit the chart.
3. Go to Series -> Format -> Options tab.
4. Select the area4 series
5. Click the Color button and try changing it.

Hi Adrian,

Yes, this doesn't work. I've also added it (TF02012549) to our defect list to be fixed for future releases.

this error also occurs on

Horizontal area charts
Shape series

also on the 3D vector series, click the Pen button on the demo and try to change the colour

also on the Errorbar series, the colour of the error lines doesn't change until the Colour each checkbox is double clicked

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for the information. I'll update this on the bug list. However, this worked fine for me here with Shape series.

Regarding Vector3D series, this is because it uses ColorRange, this works:

Code: Select all

        Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Vector3D v1 = new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Vector3D(tChart1.Chart);
        v1.FillSampleValues();
        v1.UseColorRange = false;
        v1.Color = Color.Lime;

However, the editor to set those properties should also be available. I'll add it to the list as well.

Thanks Narcis

this is resolved for Area and Harea charts in release 3.2.2866.23885
