Description ASkrobek 2014-06-25 15:13:58 EDT

The following code draws text with non-transparent background in current version in TChart in GDI mode.

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
   Chart1.Canvas.Font.Brush.Style := bsClear;
   Chart1.Canvas.Font.Color := clRed;
   Chart1.Canvas.TextOut(100, 110, 'Test');
end;

In previous production version of TChart it did work correctly (i.e. the text had transparent background).
Current version of TChart in GDI+ mode seem to render the text with transparent background. We need to use GDI and not GDI+.
