Hi All, first post, new user to FPC/Lazarus
System:
macOS 10.13.6 (HighSierra)
Xcode 10.1
Command Line Tools 10.1 (for High Sierra)
FPC 3.2.0
Lazarus 2.0.12 (macOS 64-bit)
I was experimenting with TChart and went through the "Getting Started" tutorial (LineSeries) and the 2nd tutorial (FuncSeries). All went well and I could duplicate the graphs in the tutorials. To be noted: when using LineSeries , there was a OnCreate option under the Events tab (more on that later).
Next I tried to use PolarSeries and things changed. Under Events tab, there was no OnCreate or similar option. There was however a Source option with 2 choices: "Chart1PolarSeries1.Builtin" and "(none)". Neither of these options allowed me to add code in the Source Editor to generate a series. Double-clicking on the "...Builtin" option just brought up the Data Point Editor. At this point I gave up on the PolarSeries, closed the Project, and created a new project.
In this new project I added a Tchart and then a LineSeries. I went to the Events tab and there was no OnCreate option now. But there was the Source option with the same setup as before. Where before trying PolarSeries I could use LineSeries/OnCreate to generate a data series, now I can't.
I uninstalled/deleted Lazarus, including the hidden user folder. I reinstalled Lazarus and tried again. Same result: OnCreate is gone from LineSeries/Events.
What happened to OnCreate? I am stuck at this time because I need to be able to write the code to generate the data series for LineSeries.
Any comments, suggestions, recommendations, etc. will be greatly appreciated.
