Hi Heinz,

Would exchanging the current TeePolar-unit with the old one be a solution to be compatible with the old data or would this cause problems in other areas?
I'm afraid I can't tell you a workaround for it. Substituting the TeePolar unit in TeeChart v2015.16 for the old version shipped with TeeChart v8 doesn't compile.

F.E. with TeeChart 8 the properties BottomAxis.Logarithmic and BottomAxis.Inverted had no influence on a chart with a PolarSeries and in my projects BottomAxis was always set to Not visible.
But with the current version these properties do affect the chart even if the BottomAxis is not shown. So when in the old charts these properties are checked because they had no negative effect to the resulting chart the charts imported with Teechart 2015 will look strange to the user.
I'm not sure to understand why these properties where stored if you expected them to do nothing. But anyway, you could force them to have the values you wish after loading your tee files, isn't it? Ie somthing like this:
Code: Select all
if Chart1[0] is TPolarSeries then
begin
Chart1.Axes.Bottom.Logarithmic:=false;
Chart1.Axes.Bottom.Inverted:=false;
end;

but I do not yet know how to differentiate reliable if the data is older than v9 or not.
Do you have a suggestion for the if-statement to work properly for all series?
I'm not sure that's the best way to fix this but your investigations may help us to find a solution for that ticket, so I'd like to thank you for sharing them.
