TChart vertical lines
« on: February 16, 2014, 12:30:46 pm »
Hello,

I'm looking for solution to place vertical lines in all points of the data series. The problem is, the lines must be visible even the point are under/over the visible area.

Now im using:

//on draw point
procedure TForm2.SeriesStateDrawPointer(ASender: TChartSeries;
  ACanvas: TCanvas; AIndex: Integer; ACenter: TPoint);
begin
//start
  ACanvas.Line(ACenter.x, ACanvas.Height, ACenter.x, 0);
end;     

Just the lines are not draw when the point isn't draw.

Have You any solution for me ?

You want to draw a line from the point down to the axis? Why not use a TBarSeries with BarWidthPercent = 1?
In the attached screenshot I used two series, a BarSeries and a LineSeries, linked to the same ChartSource. The BarSeries has BarWidthPercent=1, and the LineSeries has the interconnecting lines turned off and the symbols turned on. The y extent of the chart is restricted to cut off some data points.

Thanks for Your advice,

Vertical lines marks the events. When the vertical line crossing with others data series then we know about event in this point of data.
Examle: Temperature chart crossing with vertical line of events 'start fan'. We know when temperature reachd this value then fan was started.
