Speed issues with adding a lot of labels


User (Legacy)

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have a problem/question concerning labels. I was wondering why they

seem to take so long to be added? Example code follows:

m_pChartFX->OpenDataEx((CfxCod) (COD_VALUES|COD_REMOVE), 1, 25000);

for(i=0;i<=25000;i++) {

double val = rand();

m_pChartFX->GetSeries()->GetItem( 0 )->PutYvalue( i, val );

}

m_pChartFX->CloseData(COD_VALUES);

int i1 = GetTickCount();

ICfxAxisPtr axis = chart_fx->GetAxis()->GetItem( AXIS_X );

for(i=0;i<=25000;i++) {

axis->PutLabel( i, "aa" );

}

int i2 = GetTickCount();

int t = i2 - i1;

m_pChartFX->RecalcScale();

When the second loop finally terminated it too almost 7 minutes...just to

add the labels!! Is it supposed to take that long, or is this a possible

bug of some sort? Is there any way that I might be able to speed this

process up at all? I believe that you max is 32,767 labels per axis or

legend( please correct me if I am incorrect )? Thank you.

Two things that will dramatically improve your speed:

1) Call ClearLabels BEFORE your OpenDataEx to start with an empty label

list, this is much faster than replacing labels that are already there.

2) To further improve performance you can use the StyleEx's CSE_FASTLABELS

this flag however will take away some of the functionality. Check the help

file for details (look for StyleEx).

what object is CSE_FASTLABELS a flag for?  Is it in Chartfx client/server 5?

Also the clearlabels call did not help speed it up very noticeably....maybe

a couple of seconds...if that....
