RE:RE: multiple colors, 2 series (scatter)

[Software FX]

The complete source of my last sample for some users which do not have VB6 is:

'===========================================================

Option Explicit

Sub example2_Click()

 Dim Today As Date

 Today = #10/1/2000#

 With ChartFX1

     .Gallery = GANTT

     .Chart3D = False ' 3D won't look overlapped

     .Cluster = True ' All segments in the same line

     .MultipleColors = True

     .TipMask = "%l" & vbCrLf & "%i to %v"

     'First set the Min and Max for the Y Axis

     With .Axis(AXIS_Y)

         .Min = Today

         .Max = Today + 120

         .Format = AF_DATETIME

         .LabelAngle = 90

         .STEP = 7

     End With

     'Then we can use the ValueEX and IniValueEX for the Gantt Chart.

     ' Let's suppose it has 3 bars

     .MultipleColors = False

     .OpenDataEx COD_VALUES, 10, 1 '4 variables for bar/2 machines

             .OpenDataEx COD_COLORS, 10, 1

     'The legends have a particular behavior

     'For example, if the chart has 4 legends, one for

     'every point for the machine1 (on, off, down, starved)

     'the first 4 color in the machine1 bar will be

     'taken to colorize the first 4 names in the legend

     'my suggestion is, fake it, place 4 colors to send

     'the first 4 colors to the legend, and after

     'send the really values which could be repeated

     'without change the colors in the legend.

                'begining fake

                 'faking red machine1
