I have just had a play with the mschart dll, and the constants listed in help are....

VtChChartType provides chart type options.

Constant Description
VtChChartType3dBar 3D Bar
VtChChartType2dBar 2D Bar
VtChChartType3dLine 3D Line
VtChChartType2dLine 2D Line
VtChChartType3dArea 3D Area
VtChChartType2dArea 2D Area
VtChChartType3dStep 3D Step
VtChChartType2dStep 2D Step
VtChChartType3dCombination 3D Combination
VtChChartType2dCombination 2D Combination
VtChChartType2dPie 2D Pie
VtChChartType2dXY 2D XY

However....

WTF?

Wow! Never seen that one before. Cheers for the pointer - lots to play with :)

play with it and let me know how to do a 3d surface graph...

David

Initially it doesn't look like you can. It is confusing. 3d surface is clearly there in the enumeration, but using it as a chart type throws an exception.
Leads me to believe the developers bunked off early and didn't finish implementing the control.

This guy had the same problem...

ich brauche dringend Hilfe zu folgendem Problem:
In meiner Anwendung möchte ich gern Daten grafisch darstellen.
Dazu benutze ich ein MSChart.
Soweit - sogut.
Ich will aber nach Möglichkeit ein 3D-Oberflächen-Diagramm haben.
Dieser Diagrammtyp ist allerdings bei der Auswahl der chartType-
Eigenschaft nicht vorhanden.
Nachdem ich im Objektkatalog stöberte, fiel mir auf, daß in der
MSChartLib sämtliche Diagrammtypen aufgezählt sind (u.a.), wobei
einige (und natürlich auch der von mir benötigte!) sogenannte
_verborgene_ Elemente sind. Das Problem ist nun, wie komme ich
trotzdem an das Oberflächendiagramm heran(Die Konstante heißt
übrigens VtChChartType3dSurface und hat den Wert 23) ?

Eh?

David

odd isnt it?

It would do exactly what I want as well.. there must be a simple way of doing this sort of thing.

David

Badly translated . . . . .

I need urgently assistance to the following problem: In my application I would like to represent gladly data graphically. In addition I use a MSChart. So far - sogut. I want to have however after possibility a 3D-Oberflaechen-Diagramm. This type of diagram is however missing with the selection of the chartType characteristic. After I in the object catalog stoeberte, it noticed to me that into the MSChartLib all diagram types it is enumerated (among other things), whereby some (and naturally also of me needed!) so-called _ hidden _ items are. The problem is now, how I come nevertheless to the surface diagram heran(Die constant am called by the way VtChChartType3dSurface and has the value 23)?

I would be pleased, if someone me could help. Best thanks in advance!

Thomas.

This bloke couldn't do it either :o

seen that however it is rather expensive...

Ouch

:eek:

Surely thats what DC is for ;)

DC?

Direct Connect. Might be on there somewhere. For evaluation . . . .

needs to be a 'legal' copy... in case some decides they might want to buy the prog.

David

ttt for more suggestions.

get up top.

I've done a lot of charting stuff for my previous company.. however your using vb so you will burn in hell forever




















p.s. only kiddin ;) I tried loads of different charting apps / components... www.componentsource.com (IIRC) have loads (comes with Enterprise edition of Devstudio) I, however, ended up plumping for the stingray one. www.rougewave.com

o and suface "graphs" are for bull$hit statistions who want to hide information. Stick with bargraphs and piecharts if you actaully want to show data :)

I am wanting to plot Load x RPM x degrees or Load x RPM x boost... these sort of graphs seem the norm.....
