Area series with two colours

[rtech]

Hello,
I need area series with two colours. One for negative and one for positive areas. (See attached screenshot for details)

I've done that by using OnAfterAdd:

Code: Select all

void __fastcall MyFlowRateRectangleSeries::OnAfterAddPoint(TChartSeries *Sender, int ValueIndex)
{
	if(Sender->YValues->Value[ValueIndex] > 0)
	 Sender->ValueColor[ValueIndex] = DefaultPosColor;
  else
	 Sender->ValueColor[ValueIndex] = DefaultNegColor;
}

but it doesn't work automatically, only if I call OnAfterAdd in code:

Code: Select all

NewSeries->AddXY(XValue, YValue);
NewSeries->OnAfterAdd(NewSeries, Index); //OnAfterAddPoint doesn't work without that line

also I want to apply new colours by pressing button, I need to redraw chart in OnClick handler for that?

Hello,

it doesn't work automatically, only if I call OnAfterAdd in code:

Have you assigned your OnAfterAddPoint method to the series OnAfterAdd event? Ie:

Code: Select all

NewSeries->OnAfterAdd=OnAfterAddPoint;

also I want to apply new colours by pressing button, I need to redraw chart in OnClick handler for that?

Yes, you need to repaint the chart after changing the colors.

Yes, i've done it in my create series code:

Code: Select all

TChartSeries *MyFlowRateRectangleSeries::CreateNewSeries()
{
	auto NewSeries = MyAreaSeries::CreateNewSeries();
	NewSeries->OnAfterAdd = OnAfterAddPoint;

	return NewSeries;
}

But without that line

Code: Select all

NewSeries->OnAfterAdd(NewSeries, Index);

it doesn't work

Hello,

This is working for me with a new simple example:

Code: Select all

void __fastcall TForm1::FormCreate(TObject *Sender)
{
	TAreaSeries *Series1=new TAreaSeries(this);
	Chart1->AddSeries(Series1);
	Series1->FillSampleValues();
	Series1->OnAfterAdd=OnAfterAddPoint;
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
	TChartSeries *s=Chart1->Series[0];
	s->Add(s->YValues->MinValue+Random(s->YValues->Range()));
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
void __fastcall TForm1::OnAfterAddPoint(TChartSeries *Sender, int ValueIndex)
{
	ShowMessage("New point added");
}

If you still find problems with it, please arrange a simple example project we can run as-is to reproduce the problem here.
