The TRSGuideChart component is a RSChartPanel.TRSCustomChart descendant that represents guides. Guides are horizontal or vertical lines, similar to Photoshop guides, that help the user more quickly see other chart values. A guide chart is meant to be used with other chart types to help users interpret the values. For example, you could create a horizontal guide at Y=100, which would display a horizontal line across the chart panel at Y=100. The user can then use this guide to see at a glance which values from a line chart are above or below 100.
Note that all guides share the same pen and brush of the chart. If you wish to have guides with different looks, drop a new TRSGuideChart on your form.

Charts are TGraphicControl descendants for VCL and TControl descendants for FMX. Display charts on a chart panel (with integrated axes, legend, header, footers, etc) or stand-alone (allowing use of FMX effects or embedding within other controls). Set the Panel property to the RSChartPanel.TRSChartPanel you want the chart displayed inside or nil for stand-alone use. |

Draw(TCanvas,TCanvasRect,TRSChartAxis,TRSChartAxis,Boolean,Boolean) |
Overloaded. Paints the chart to the specified Canvas in the specified location. The Draw Method uses the supplied TRSChartAxis (instead of the HorizontalAxis and VerticalAxis properties) to convert the chart values into pixel coordinates. Unlike the regular Draw method, this method draws the axes as well (useful for when the chart is not connected to a panel). Use the Draw method to paint the chart to any canvas and anywhere and with any size on the canvas. |
(Inherited from RSChartPanel.TRSCustomChart.)
DrawAxes(TCanvas,TCanvasRect,TRSChartAxis,TRSChartAxis)
Draws the specified axes to the Canvas (Inherited from RSChartPanel.TRSCustomChart.)

DrawGuide(TCanvas,TCanvasRect,TCanvasPixel,TCanvasPixel,TLineOrientation,Single)
Draws one guide
Calls the OnDrawing event and returns True if the draw process should continue.
This method is called before the InternalDraw method.
DrawLabel(TCanvas,String,TCanvasPixel,TCanvasPixel,Single)
Overloaded. Draws the text caption centered above the X, Y point without clipping.
|
|---|
The Opacity is ignored in VCL |

|
|---|
The Opacity is ignored in VCL |
DrawLabel(TCanvas,TRSChartValue,TCanvasPixel,TCanvasPixel)

|
|---|
The Opacity is specified by the RSChartPanel.TRSChartValue.Opacity property |
DrawLabel(TCanvas,TRSChartValue,TCanvasRect)
Overloaded. Draws a label for the TRSChartValue on the canvas. The text of the label is controlled by the ValueLabelStyle property.
The label is drawn within the specified rectangle.
|
|---|
The Opacity is specified by the RSChartPanel.TRSChartValue.Opacity property |
Calls the OnDraw event.
This method is called after the InternalDraw method.
Re-enables screen repainting and change events. Use EndUpdate to re-enable screen repainting and change events that were turned off with the BeginUpdate method. (Inherited from RSChartPanel.TRSCustomChart.)
FormatValue(TRSChartValue,TRSLabelTextStyle)
Generates a label for the Value based on the TextStyle (Inherited from RSChartPanel.TRSCustomChart.)
Returns the vertical offset ( OffsetVertical).
If coUseVerticalOffset is not in Options, this method always returns 0. If coUseVerticalOffset is in Options, the function returns the OffsetVertical value.
GetAxisCaption(TRSChartAxis,Integer,TRSChartValueType)
Returns a label for an axis ( RSChartPanel.TRSChartAxis ) based on the input Value. The Index specifies where to start looking in the chart Values (for optimization purposes) and decrements from there until the closest chart value is found. (Inherited from RSChartPanel.TRSCustomChart.)
Returns the chart type enumerated value for this class. Each chart class overrides this class function to return the RSChartConsts|TRSChartType enumerated value (Overrides RSChartPanel.TRSCustomChart.GetChartType.)
Overloaded. Represents method GetColor. (Inherited from RSChartPanel.TRSCustomChart.)
Overloaded. Returns the color of the chart value. The color of the TRSChartValue can change depending on the Options property as well as any other chart states (e.g., the TRSCandleStickChart class overrides this method to turn the color red or green depending on if the Open value is greater than the Closing Value) (Inherited from RSChartPanel.TRSCustomChart.)
GetCumulativeTotal(Integer,Integer,TRSCustomChartClass)
Determine the cumulative value at this index for all charts in the Group. The ValIndex specifies the TRSChartValue.Values dimension to compare.
Used for stacking charts.
GetCumulativeValue(Integer,Integer,TRSCustomChartClass)
Determine the cumulative value at this index for all charts below (spatially) this chart in the same Group. The ValIndex specifies the TRSChartValue.Values dimension to compare.
Used for stacking charts.
Represents method GetGroupDimension. (Inherited from RSChartPanel.TRSCustomChart.)
Returns a new chart color based on the ChartColorScheme and ChartColorList. Every time a chart is created, it is assigned a new color from the current ChartColorList. (Inherited from RSChartPanel.TRSCustomChart.)
Initialize the OnChange events of structures. Use this method to assign event handlers for structures (e.g., Pen.OnChange := MyChangeMethod).
|
|---|
The constructor calls this method after it calls the InitializeChart method, which is where the structures should be actually created and initialized. |
Creates and initialize structures and values of chart. This method is the safe place to initialize chart values without change events occurring.
|
|---|
The constructor calls this method. Use this method to actually create and initialize properties. Do not assign event properties in this method (use the InitializeChangeEvents method instead) |
InternalDraw(TCanvas,TCanvasRect)
Overloaded. Paints the chart graphic to the specified canvas at the specified rectangle. The InternalDraw method is called by the Draw method.
Descendant classes of TRSCustomChart override the InternalDraw method to actually paint themselves.
|
|---|
The default InternalDraw method implementation assigns the Brush, Pen , and Font to the Canvas. |
InternalSelect(TCanvasRect,TRSChartSelectionAction)
Selects or deselects chart Values ( RSChartPanel.TRSChartValue ) based on whether they intersect with the selection rectangle (which is in pixel coordinates).
The base method converts the SelectionRect to chart coordinates (based on HorizontalAxis and VerticalAxis) and then selects values based on the TRSChartValue.Selectable method
Returns True if any value in the chart intersects with the SelectionRect (Inherited from RSChartPanel.TRSCustomChart.)
Represents method IsValuesStored. (Inherited from RSChartPanel.TRSCustomChart.)
Indicates whether the chart is visible. A chart is visible if its Visible property is True and both axes have been assigned. (Inherited from RSChartPanel.TRSCustomChart.)
Represents method Loaded. (Inherited from RSChartPanel.TRSCustomChart.)
Represents method MouseHover(TCanvasRect). (Overrides RSChartPanel.TRSCustomChart.MouseHover(TCanvasRect).)

Select(TCanvasRect,TRSChartSelectionAction)
Selects or deselects chart Values ( RSChartPanel.TRSChartValue ) based on whether they intersect with the selection rectangle (which is in pixel coordinates).
The base method converts the SelectionRect to chart coordinates (based on HorizontalAxis and VerticalAxis) and then selects values based on the TRSChartValue.Selectable method

To display a chart, you drop the component on a form and optionally connect its Panel property to the RSChartPanel.TRSChartPanel component where you want it to be displayed. The Values property is the most important property of a chart type and allows you to define the chart values at design-time or run-time. For the Area Chart, the Values property contains TRS2DChartValue collection items which define the end point (X, Y) of the line and the Color of the area. (Note that you need at least 2 points to define the area). To display an area chart inside a chart panel: • Drop a TRSGuideChart component on a form • Drop a TRSChartPanel component where you want the chart to be displayed. (Note, more than one chart can share the same chart panel) • Connect the Panel property of the chart to the chart panel |
To add an area to the chart (at Design-Time):
• Select the TRSGuideChart component • Click the ellipsis button (...) for the Values property of the chart. This action displays Delphi's Collection Editor for the TRSGuideChartValues collection. • Use the Add button to add guides (TRSGuideChartValue collection item) to the chart. • Edit the X and Y properties for the guides • Edit the Orientation property to set the orientation (horizontal, vertical, or both) of the guide |
To add a guide to the chart (at Run-Time):
