TeeChart Pro VCL / CLX version 5

5.01 Upgrade

New features since version 5.0

• Kylix support
  The source code compiles ( and works ! ) in Kylix.
  
  
• Memory saving
  When no text labels are used in Series points, less memory is used. (4 bytes less per point).
  
  
• Chart AddSeries method
  This method now allows passing the Series class only:
  
  Chart1.AddSeries( TLineSeries )
  
  This enables C++ Builder to dynamically creating Series using a class reference variable.
  
  
• Series Marks
  Added Transparency and Bevel properties.
  
  
• Shape Series
  Added Gradient property for Rectangle and Ellipse shape styles.

  New function to return error message descriptions, obtaining the description from Microsoft's WinInet DLL.
  
  
• Writeable Constants OFF
  Now the "Writeable Consts" compiler option is OFF by default in TeeChart Pro packages.
  
  
• Annotation Tool
  This tool allows adding annotations (text) into the Chart canvas at design and run-time.
  Includes the common shape properties (border, pattern, gradient, shadow, font, font outline, position, etc). Picture here.
  
  
• DrawLine Tool
  New event: OnDraggedLine
  Occurs after a line has been dragged using the mouse.
  
  
• Cursor Tool
  The Cursor tool X and Y positions can now be changed programatically at run-time.
  
  
• ColorGrid Series
  New Clicked function to detect which colorgrid XY cell is under the mouse cursor.
  
  
• Alternate Gallery
  Reusable dialog showing the TeeChart gallery of series styles by sub-type. 
  Picture here.
  
  
• TeeCommander Editor dialog
  Allows configuring the TeeCommander toolbar buttons at run-time. Picture here.
  
  
• ADO support in TeeChart Wizard 
  (Delphi 5 and C++ Builder 5 Enterprise versions only).
  See TeeDefs.inc include file for TEEENTERPRISE compilation DEFINE.
  
  
• DateToWeek function ( ISO-8601 )
  New ISO-8601 compatible function to calculate the Week number of a given date.
  The previous function is preserved ( renamed to DateToWeekOld ).
