Narcís, Happy New Year!!!! You mean I'm not the center of Steema's universe? Hmmmm.... I got the Range Check error when the GDI+ checkbox was clicked on three machines, each a different OS and significantly different hardware components: o Win2k, SP 4. Graphics card: Radeon VE o Vista, SP 1. Graphic...

Narcís, I would be most appreciative of any kind of fix-up code you could send my way that I might shoe-horn into V7 when you turn your attention to this particular issue...:) It would be the absolute icing on the cake as far as feature-set I'm offering my users. Regards from California to Catalonia...

Narcís, You had me, literally, laughing. While you may not be a native English speaker, I can assure you of two things: 1) Your English is far better than my Spanish 2) Your English is far better than most AMERICANS (not that they've raised the bar very high, from what I've seen online) Yes, my inst...

Legend.TopPos

Folks, Question concerning Legend.TopPos. With Chart1.Legend.Alignment set to either Top or Bottom (laTop or laBottom), a value of 0 for TopPos automatically centers the legend rect horizontally within the chart. Lovely. The left side of the legend is not set at the 0'th coordinate, the Legend is ce...

Narcís, Apologies on my delay in responding. Don't interpret it as lack of interest or motivation on my part! It's a reflection of how busy my betas have been keeping me with the impending release. I'm sorry to say that I still get Range Check errors even with the latest TeeGDIPlus.Pas you so kindly...

Narcís, Thank you for the offer! Yes, would you kindly send me either the TeeGDIPlus.Pas distributed with 7.12 source, or the 8.x one? For some reason - no doubt Stupid Programmer Tricks on my part - all the TeeGDIPlus's on my system are from either March or July of 2004. Thank you! Regards, richard...

Narcís, Apologies for it taking so long to respond, I've been (excitedly) playing with this. In concept it sounds like it might be a GREAT solution. However, I'm running into problems within TeeGDIPlus. If a Build is done with Range Checking on, errors result. Here's the Call Stack for one of them: ...

Narcís, okay, Dream Team it is...:) I played with it a bit, and noticed a few things that might be of interest to others watching this thread, or reading it down the road in a search. 1) Your sample AfterDraw handler, which was great, had one small issue. The FormCreate border width of 25 in wasn't ...

Narcís, I'm just going to start calling you Magic Man..:) It worked fine!!! With just a few variations to your sample OnAfteDrawEvent, it does exactly what was needed!! It now responds perfectly to the users' requested width, rounding, and color choices: with Chart1.Canvas do begin Brush.Style := bs...

Pep, Thank you for your reply..:) I must have described the problem wrong, so maybe the screenshot (I made it Christmassy..;) I just uploaded will help. The English language can be very slippery. Perhaps that's why no one programs in it???!!! I do set bvInner and bvOuter to bvNone, yet you see the e...

Narcís,

Don't ya just hate pushy impatient nagging users? Dang... LOL! Sometimes I feel like Verucka Salt in Willie Wonka. "I want it, and I want it NOW, Daddy!!!"

Excellent to better news. Thank you SO much. I know I'm in good hands..:)))

Appreciative regards,

Narcís, Could you please give me some guidance about the Canvas.Draw question in my prior post? I feel I'm close to solving this IF I can do the following, as described in that post: use the Chart1.Canvas.Draw method to draw my now smoothed-out image onto the Canvas, then set the text elements visib...

Narcís, Just delete this whole thread, ignore it, never mind, I never said any of this, and if asked I'll deny it all. Stupid programmer error. Not a stupid error, a stupid programmer...

Narcís,

Uhhh.. I'm not awake yet.... NOT CLRED! (but you knew I didn't mean that!).

Please try setting Chart1.Color to anything BUT clRed. clBlue is a fine choice..;)

I need BrainChecker. For Christmas maybe, you'll get me that? Huh? Huh?
