User (Legacy) Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 I have downloaded and been playing with ChartFX for a few days now. One thing I have noticed is that I can't have two charts on the same form (I can, but the context sensitive menus show on both, but both end up affecting the first chart added). Additionally, I was really looking for a component that would have some intelligence built in regarding dated series. For example: If I have observation data every week for 3 years, I can add that observation as a series (works like a champ). But, as is very typical of dated series, folks want to see year on year comparison of the same series of data ... ie, data series has information from 2003 through 2006. I can see this as a single series, but would be very nice feature to automatically (via a end-user graph option) show that exact same data, but treating it as 4 separate series (without the year as part of the X value). one series for each year. Right now, I have to break this series up manually to create a separate series of data for each year, which is a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have multiple charts in one form, make sure you give each one a different ID, if you are dropping the chats from the toolbox this will happen automatically but if you are creating these charts in code, then you are responsible for assigning unique ids. If this does not help solve the problem, please provide us with a sample project that reproduces the problem. > If I have observation data every week for 3 years, I can add that > observation as a series (works like a champ).

I think it will add value to analyzing time based charts. However, in the current version, like you discovered this has to be done by you. If you encounter any problems implementing this on your end please let me know. -- Francisco Padron www.chartfx.com "Jim Eckels" <jeckels@prescientsystems.com> wrote in message news:TljB$eQiGHA.1560@webserver3.softwarefx.com... >I have downloaded and been playing with ChartFX for a few days now. > One thing I have noticed is that I can´t have two charts on the same form > (I can, but the context sensitive menus show on both, but both end up > affecting the first chart added). > > Additionally, I was really looking for a component that would have some > intelligence built in regarding dated series. > > For example: > > If I have observation data every week for 3 years, I can add that > observation as a series (works like a champ).
