2014 reduced performance with back image

Post by johnnix » Wed Apr 16, 2014 9:01 pm

Hello,

I am using the latest 2014 32 bit VCL with Delphi XE (Windows 7 64 bit) and I noticed that with GDI+ when a back image is defined, the chart slowly redraws (e.g. pan and zoom are slow). If I use the GDI canvas then performance is ok. Does anyone noticed this behavior? Is there a work around? I did try setting back image draw quality to low but this does not help.

Kindest regards

Ok, here is what I found by mistake :) After adding a filter to the back image performance looks normal. Attached is a sample project (also notice that the unfiltered image is not displayed correctly)
