Help lines for X and Y scale in 3D

[BeijerElectronics]

Is there any way to get some grid help lines for the Y and X axis in 3D mode?
It is hard to read the actual value

See attached picture (where values are 10,10 & 18,18 for both series)

Hello BeijerElectronics,

I recommend you use MinorGrid Axes property. You can do something as next code:

Code: Select all

private void InitializeChart()
         {
             
             Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Points Series1= new Points(tChart1.Chart);
             Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Points Series2 = new Points(tChart1.Chart);
             Series1.Add(10, 10);
             Series1.Add(18, 18);
             Series2.DataSource = Series1;
             Series2.RefreshSeries();
             tChart1.Axes.Bottom.SetMinMax(10, 100);
             tChart1.Axes.Left.SetMinMax(10, 100);
             tChart1.Axes.Bottom.MinorGrid.Visible = true;
             tChart1.Axes.Left.MinorGrid.Visible = true;
            
         }

Can you please, tell us if previous code works as you want?

I hope will helps.

Thanks,

Hello Sandra,

Thank you for a quick reply.
No, we do not want to have minor grids visible, but 3D lines for the major grid. See the picture below:

Hello

I couldn't reproduce your problem with last version of TeeChart 2011 and next code:

Code: Select all

    private void InitializeChart()
        {

            Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Points points1 = new Points(tChart1.Chart);
            Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Points points2 = new Points(tChart1.Chart);
       
            points1.Add(10, 10);
            points1.Add(18, 18);
            points2.DataSource = points1;
            tChart1.Axes.Bottom.SetMinMax(0, 100);
            tChart1.Axes.Left.SetMinMax(0, 100);
       
        }

Please, can you tell us which version of TeeChart.Net are you using now?

Hi,

We use the latest release version, but I see now that they are there, but the lines are almost impossible to see since we use a grid color set as white, and white lines on the yellow 3D surface makes it almost impossible to see. Is there a seperate color setting for the 3D grid lines, so that we still can use white as the major grid line color?

Hello
I think you can set the minor grid of a color and Grid of other color. You can do something as next code:

Code: Select all

private void InitializeChart()
        {

            Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Points Series1 = new Points(tChart1.Chart);
            Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Points Series2 = new Points(tChart1.Chart);
            Series1.Add(10, 10);
            Series1.Add(18, 18);
            Series2.DataSource = Series1;
            Series2.RefreshSeries();
            tChart1.Axes.Bottom.SetMinMax(10, 100);
            tChart1.Axes.Left.SetMinMax(10, 100);
            
            tChart1.Axes.Bottom.MinorGrid.Visible = true;
            tChart1.Axes.Left.MinorGrid.Visible = true;
            tChart1.Axes.Left.Grid.Color = Color.White;
            tChart1.Axes.Left.MinorGrid.Color = Color.Gray;
            tChart1.Axes.Bottom.Grid.Color = Color.White;
            tChart1.Axes.Bottom.MinorGrid.Color = Color.Gray;
            
            
            tChart1.Walls.Back.Gradient.Visible=false;
            tChart1.Walls.Back.Transparency = 100;
            tChart1.Panel.Color= Color.Black;
            tChart1.Panel.Gradient.Visible = false;

        }

Can you tell us if previous code works as you expected?

I hope will helps.

Thanks,
