Bringing different series to front question

[JRB]

Hi, I've got a chart that will have up to 5 different series plotted on it. How do I bring different series to the front so I can see them without being hidden behind? Thanks.

Hi JRB,

You can only change a series ZOrder using TChart.Series.Exchange(int32 series1, int32 serise2) method.

You can also set the same ZOrder for several series doing something like this:

Code: Select all

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
      {
        Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Line line1= new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Line(tChart1.Chart);

        line1.FillSampleValues();
        line1.ZOrder = i % 3;
      }      
    }

Hi, I attempted to change the ZOrder to fix the layer of my line graphs, but it doesn't appear to work properly.

Basically, when I click to focus on a specific graph, the following code is executed:

Code: Select all

                 case 0:
                    line1.ZOrder = 1;
                    line2.ZOrder = 0;
                    break;
                case 1:
                    line1.ZOrder = 0;
                    line2.ZOrder = 1;
                    break;

Is there an easier way than using the .Exchange method since I have 8 or more lines and never know what the current line order is. A simple line1.BringToFront() would be a VERY handy method.

Hello LibDundas,

I couldn't reproduce your problem. Please, you could send us a simple project, because we can try to solve the problem here.


Thanks,

Hi Sandra, I uploaded a zip file (DragPoint_FlatLine.zip) on Dec 7 for some other questions I posted. In that example, when you click the "Line 1" and "Line 2" buttons, it will attempt to set the line Zorder, but you can see that the blue line never goes to the back.

Thanks!

Hello LibDundas,

I inform that is not possible do ZOrder using FastLine series as explain in this thread. I recommend that if you would do ZOrder use a Line Series as explain in the thread.

Thanks,
