TRSChartAxisHack Class

Create(TRSCustomChartPanel)

Overloaded. Initializes a new instance of the TRSChartAxis class. (Inherited from RSChartPanel.TRSChartAxis.)

Brush

Represents property Brush. (Inherited from RSChartPanel.TRSChartAxis.)

Charts

Tracks the list of RSChartPanel.TRSCustomChart components that are using this axis, either as their HorizontalAxis or VerticalAxis. Use the Charts property to iterate over all the charts for the axis.
 (Inherited from RSChartPanel.TRSChartAxis.)

DateTimeFormat

Specifies the format of the chart values when the axis represents date time values. If the axis does not represent date time values, the Format property specifies the format of the chart values. The two format properties are used by the     FormatValue method to return the proper string representation of a chart value. Use the     IsDateTime method to determine if the axis is displaying date time values.

The DateTimeFormat string is like other Delphi Date-Time Format Strings that specify the formatting of date-time values (such as TDateTime) when they are converted to strings.

Date Time Format Strings are composed from specifiers that represent values to be inserted into the formatted string. Some specifiers (such as "d"), simply format numbers or strings. Other specifiers (such as "/") refer to locale-specific strings from global variables.

In the following table, specifiers are given in lower case. Case is ignored in formats, except for the "am/pm" and "a/p" specifiers.

c

Displays the date using the format given by the ShortDateFormat global variable, followed by the time using the format given by the LongTimeFormat global variable. The time is not displayed if the date-time value indicates midnight precisely.
 

d

Displays the day as a number without a leading zero (1-31).
 

dd

Displays the day as a number with a leading zero (01-31).
 

ddd

AxisToPixel(TRSChartValueType)

Overloaded.  Converts from the chart value parameter to a pixel coordinate of the Owner RSChartPanel.TRSCustomChartPanel component. Based on the     ZoomMinimum and     ZoomMaximum range of the chart axis, this routine converts the parameter value into a pixel coordinate. Unlike the overloaded AxisToPixel method, this method assumes that the visual pixel range of the chart axis is defined by the chart panel's     ChartRect property. The chart axis uses the bounds of the rectangle that apply to its location, e.g., a BottomAxis chart axis would use the ChartRect's Left=ZoomMinimum and Right=ZoomMaximum fields for the calculation (the rectangle is also adjusted if StartPosition and EndPosition properties are not their defaults).

Use one of the AxisToPixel methods anytime you need to convert from internal chart axis coordinates to a visual pixel coordinate. For example, if the chart axis has a zoomed range from 0 to 100 and the ChartRect is Left=150 and Right=500, this function would return:
AxisToPixel( 0 ) = 150
AxisToPixel( 50 ) = 325
AxisToPixel( 100 ) = 500

Use one of the     PixelToAxis methods to convert back from pixel coordinates to chart coordinates.
 

AxisToPixel(TRSChartValueType,TCanvasRect)

Overloaded.  Converts from the chart value parameter to a pixel coordinate of the specified ChartRect parameter. Based on the     ZoomMinimum and     ZoomMaximum range of the chart axis, this routine converts the parameter value into a pixel coordinate. Unlike the overloaded AxisToPixel method, this method assumes that the visual pixel range of the chart axis is defined by the ChartRect property. The chart axis uses the bounds of the rectangle that apply to its location, e.g., a BottomAxis chart axis would use the ChartRect's Left=ZoomMinimum and Right=ZoomMaximum fields for the calculation (the rectangle is also adjusted if StartPosition and EndPosition properties are not their defaults).

Use one of the AxisToPixel methods anytime you need to convert from internal chart axis coordinates to a visual pixel coordinate. For example, if the chart axis has a zoomed range from 0 to 100 and the ChartRect is Left=150 and Right=500, this function would return:
AxisToPixel( 0 ) = 150
AxisToPixel( 50 ) = 325
AxisToPixel( 100 ) = 500

Use one of the     PixelToAxis methods to convert back from pixel coordinates to chart coordinates.

Returns whether the axis is displaying chart values using a date time string representation or a floating point string representation. The chart axis displays date time values when the   ActiveChart (the first visible chart in the   Charts list) specifies its   IsDateTime property to True. When the chart axis displays date time values, the   FormatValue method uses the   DateTimeFormat property for formatting. Otherwise, the FormatValue method uses the   Format property for formatting. (Inherited from RSChartPanel.TRSChartAxis.)

Pan(Integer)

Overloaded.  Moves the visual window, specified by the     ZoomMinimum and     ZoomMaximum properties, by the amount. The Amount parameter, which is based on pixels, is first converted into the equivalent amount based on chart axis values. Specifying a positive amount moves the zoomed window right and a negative amount moves it left.

Use the overloaded Pan method to move the visual window using chart axis values directly.

The Pan method does nothing if the chart axis is not zoomed in (     Zooming = True).

The Pan method does nothing if the chart axis is not zoomed in (     Zooming = True).
 

PixelToAxis(TCanvasPixel,Boolean)

Overloaded.  Converts from a canvas pixel coordinate to a chart axis coordinate. Based on the     ZoomMinimum and     ZoomMaximum range of the chart axis, this routine converts the parameter value into a chart axis coordinate. Unlike the overloaded PixelToAxis method, this method assumes that the visual pixel range of the chart axis is defined by the chart panel's ChartRect property (obtained through the Owner property). The chart axis uses the bounds of the rectangle that apply to its location, e.g., a BottomAxis chart axis would use the ChartRect's Left=ZoomMinimum and Right=ZoomMaximum fields for the calculation (the rectangle is also adjusted if StartPosition and EndPosition properties are not their defaults).

Use one of the PixelToAxis methods anytime you need to convert from a canvas pixel coordinate to the internal chart axis coordinates. For example, if the chart axis has a zoomed range from 0 to 100 and the ChartRect is Left=150 and Right=500, this function would return:
PixelToAxis( 150 ) = 0
PixelToAxis( 325 ) = 50
PixelToAxis( 500 ) = 100

Use one of the AxisToPixel methods to convert back from chart coordinates to canvas pixel coordinates.

ZoomPixelArea(TCanvasRect)

Overloaded.  Zoom the axis in on (or magnify) a portion of the axis' range. The Zoom method accepts a canvas pixel rectangle and changes the     ZoomMinimum and     ZoomMaximum properties to zoom the axis into that visual portion of the range. It allows you to change the portion of the axis that is being visually displayed.

The overloaded Zoom method zooms the axis using chart values instead of canvas rectangle values.
 

OnDraw

Occurs just after the chart graphic is painted. Write an OnDraw event handler to take specific action when the chart graphic has finished painting. The OnDraw event also allows you to do custom painting after the chart graphic has painted. (Inherited from RSChartPanel.TRSChartGraphic.)

OnDrawing

Occurs just before the chart graphic is painted. Write an OnDrawing event handler to take specific action when the chart graphic is about to paint. If the event handler sets the DoDraw parameter to False, the chart graphic will not be painted. The OnDraw event also allows you to do custom painting before the chart graphic has been painted. (Inherited from RSChartPanel.TRSChartGraphic.)
