Thanks for the additional help.

For the text being shown in a shape, is there a way to wrap it in case it doesn't fit into a rectangle?

Thanks for the additional feedback.

Apologies for the late reply (was away for 2 weeks). I tried it out in a smaller program and the event-handler is called, hence must be a problem in my code.

Thanks for all the help.

I have set the following code but the function never gets called, is there an alternative?

Chart1.OnGetAxisLabel := Chart1GetAxisLabel;

Thanks for the reply, will try it out.

Sorry one more question... in determining at which position which square should be drawn it seems to be driven by the following code: X0:=TMyShape(myShapes.Items[i]).Year-0.5; X1:=TMyShape(myShapes.Items[i]).Year+0.5; Y0:=MaxValueForYear(TMyShape(myShapes.Items[i]).Year); Y1:=Y0+1; Other than years ...

I integrated your example code into my project and it looks good, thanks for all the help!

Thanks a lot for the example code! (Noted about the sorting and rectangles).

If I upgrade to the latest version would then the original code achieve the same? (Since it looks more compact than than the v8 code).

I forgot to add that the squares should be always shown (no scrolling).

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Not really sure how to implement this with TPoint/ShapeSeries hence an example would be appreciated. The squares should grow/shrink depending on the window size (holding the chart) but the dimension should remain proportionate (i.e. remain squares and not become rectangles)...

I managed to compile the code by changing .hide to .visible := false (but had to remove MarksOnBar:=True; MarksLocation:=mlCenter;). The chart I'm getting looks different from the example you provided, could it be because of the code I had to change or because I'm using a different Teechart version?...

Does the sample code work with version 8? (VCL) When I compile it I get a few error messages of functions/fields not defined, e.g.

Chart1.Walls.Hide;
MarksOnBar:=True;
MarksLocation:=mlCenter;

Hi, thanks a lot, looks like exactly what I need.

Hi, can Teechart be used to create a "chart" like the image below? Basically just a series of squares with different colors and sorted by a specific value. I'm using Teechart 8.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.
