Are you using the Multimedia timer ? I have found with XP (and maybe 2000) that at 10 Hz its callback function does not get missed even when opening several large applications or dragging a window around or minimizing a window. Earlier OS's or the standard Delphi Timer often have missed periods last...

I use cursors with VCL in WIN32 and do not know if the following applies to the .NET version. When the cursor moves, is the matching data point being searched for ? If so, I believe the VCL version always starts it search from the begiining of the data values list. It seems a quicker approach would ...

Marjan, Wish list : could both your suggested behaviors (do not allow user to begin a zoom if they are outside the chart's inner rect and do not allow the zoom box rectangle to be dragged outside the chart's inner rect) be made a settable property of a chart ? Something like RestrictZoomToInnerRect ...

Narcis,

Can you explain how to import a .tee file into Excel ? I do not see a tutorial on how to do that.

What is the advantage of importing a .tee vs an image ? Will the .tee be resizable in Excel for example ?

Thanks,

Steve

I ahve not looked in the source code, but does the Nearest Point tool always begin its search from the beginning or end of the data array ? If not, it might be faster to begin from the previous nearest point index and search away from that in both directions. This assumes linearity in values.

FollowMouse and Snap are set True. for i := 0 to 100 do series1.AddY(10000 + random(60000)); As the cursor is moved say slightly up along the Y axis, the cursor's X position might jump far away from its current position. This is because there is another X,Y pair whose Y data value is nearer to the n...

I am quite detail oriented and picky, use TChar...

How about directly assigning values to chart1.ChartRect.Left, etc. and make the two charts the same. This fixes the inner axis bounding region, so if axis label size changes with data value, the position of the inner region will remain fixed.

Sean,

A faster option is to prepare a bitmap from your data 2D array and assign it to the chart's BackImage. You do have to deal with issues such as whether several data points span more than one bitmap pixel or not.

Perhaps use a CursorTool with Snap = false and respond to its OnChange event. Note that with Snap=false, the OnChange event's ValueIndex will = -1. Maybe use another hidden CursorTool with Snap = true and check if the two CursorTools XValues are the same. However, the CursorTool with Snap=false has ...

A NearestPoint tool trackes the correct data value and draws its line to the correct Z Position. It might be used to change the CursorTool's X and Y values to visually make the cursor appear to be located over the correct Snapped position at the correct Z Position. That would require being able to c...

Is TeeChart Pro v7.08 only available for BDS 2006 ? I am using Delphi 7 and TChart Pro 7.07 which has that ChartTool1.UseSeriesZ property but does not make it follow the Z Position at all. The Z Position never changes.
