Neoteny Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 When combining lines and bars in a chart it is annoying that line series dissappear behind bars. To solve this I have to move line series to the end (so they are drawn last and over the bars). However, I would like to make it appear to the user that the order hasn't changed. This means I need a legend where lines are often the first items in the legend, followed by the bar series. I know I can use the userlegendboxobj to create my own legend, but it would've been nice if I could attach a series to a userlegendboxitem. Unfortunately I can only attach points to a userlegendboxitems. I can achieve my goal (though with much more 'hacking' than I'd hoped) but for one thing: one of the nicer features of ChartFX is the highlighting. For a series legend this works very nice: moving over the legend item highlights the attached series. However, I lose this feature when I use a userlegendbox, because there's no way of customizing the highlighting and the default behaviour is no good for my purposes, so I have to turn it of. Of course, a simple ZOrder property for a series would solve most of my problems in a much easier way. Are there plans to improve functionality, related to this problem in future service packs/versions? Regards, Caius Caesar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Series reordering is a feature available in Chart FX 7, so is the ability to associate a Custom Legend item to a Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecilia Daniels Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Are there any examples of this where you have a line and a stacked bar chart? I seem to be able to get the lines to come to the front with a normal bar chart, but when it is stacked the lines are behind the bars no matter what I do. Any help would be appreciated.
