User (Legacy) Posted September 25, 2001 Report Share Posted September 25, 2001 Hi, I really hope you can assist with a problem I'm experiencing. I am using ChartFX IE 2000 to generate GIF pie charts. The problem is, when I set the background to transparent, the pie slice borders and labels disappear. I've attached two images; Chart1 has Chart.RGBBk = RGB(240, 240, 240) Chart2 has Chart.RGBBk = CHART_TRANSPARENT Or RGB(240, 240, 240) I want the borders and labels visible in Chart1, along with the transparent background of Chart2! Is there a reason the borders and labels disappear, and is there a workaround? The other parameters I use are: Chart.Type = PIE Chart.Chart3D = True Chart.Palette = "ChartFX 3.0" Chart.View3d = True Chart.Perspective = 30 Chart.AngleX = 15 Chart.Border = True Chart.BorderStyle = 0 Chart.TypeEx = Chart.TypeEx Or CTE_SQUAREPIE Thank you in advance, David McClure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 This bug seems to be related to setting the palette to "ChartFX 3.0", I commented out this line and the image is generated correctly, we will try to fix this bug in the next service pack, in the meantime I would recommend you set the colors manually if you want to emulate the colors used in our ChartFX 3.0 palette. -- Regards, JC "David McClure" <davidmc@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:2clBxhZRBHA.1448@webserver1.softwarefx.com... > Hi, > > I really hope you can assist with a problem I'm experiencing.
