Contour in polar plots

[Jan Madsen]

Hi

I am new to this an have an application where we have to make contours in a polar plot.

Is it possible?

We are using v. 2_0_2306_26232

Best regards

Hi Jan,

Sorry but I don't understand what are you trying to do exactly. Could you please give us some more details? An example image would help. You can post your files at news://www.steema.net/steema.public.attachments newsgroup or at our upload page.

Thanks in advance.

BTW: There's a newer version of TeeChart for .NET v2 available at the client area.

I have uploaded an example of a plot we have made with Mathlab. It is actually a Smithchart with contours on it.

So if it can make contours on a Smith chart it should do the trick.

The filename is 'Contourplot.jpg'

Hi Jan,

Thanks for the information.

Yes, you should be able to do what you request using Polar series as shown in the All Features\Welcome !\Chart styles\Extended\Polar\ClockWise labels example in the features demo, available at TeeChart's program group.

You can hide series pointers like this:

Code: Select all

polar1.Pointer.Visible=false;

You'll need one polar series for each contour level.

Hope this helps!

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

You'll need one polar series for each contour level.

So it actually means I have to do the calculation for the contours myselves.

I guess I can do the same in a Smith chart if I wanted to add contours to that plot?

Another question, it is possible to make solid color in the area of the contours.

Yes, those series styles are not designed ot plot contour charts.

Yes, I think it would be very similar to using Polar series.

Another question, it is possible to make solid color in the area of the contours.

You can try using this:

Code: Select all

			polar1.Brush.Visible = true;

Also, if you want to draw a Contour series in a circular region you can use canvas clipping like this:

Code: Select all

		public Form1()
		{
			InitializeComponent();
			InitializeChart();
		}

		private void InitializeChart()
		{
			tChart1.Aspect.View3D = false;

			Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Contour contour1 = new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Contour(tChart1.Chart);
			contour1.FillSampleValues();

			Bitmap bmp = tChart1.Bitmap;
			tChart1.AfterDraw += new PaintChartEventHandler(tChart1_AfterDraw);
			tChart1.BeforeDraw += new PaintChartEventHandler(tChart1_BeforeDraw);
		}

		void tChart1_BeforeDraw(object sender, Steema.TeeChart.Drawing.Graphics3D g)
		{
			g.ClipEllipse(new Rectangle(100, 100, 200, 200));
		}

		void tChart1_AfterDraw(object sender, Steema.TeeChart.Drawing.Graphics3D g)
		{
			g.UnClip();
		}
