Clicked-response in histograms

Marius · Post by **Marius** » Mon Mar 03, 2008 3:04 pm

When I try to select a series in a chart of Histograms, I do not get any response on the Clicked-method. Is this a known issue, or is there a reason why Histograms are "un-clickable"?

Including a small dummy-program to illustrate, just as text. You'll notice how -1 is always returned when clicking, both in- and outside the series.

If you would rather want a jar I can make it next time, but now you also see the src

Thanks in advance!

Marius

Hi Marius,

Thanks for reporting. I've been able to reproduce the issue here and added it (TJ71012870) to our defect list to be fixed for next releases.

Ok good, thanks for looking into it.

As we are speaking of the histograms, is there a way of turning off the negative values of a histogram? I.e. making the bottom value of the histogram 0, without setting the charts min value to 0?

Hi Marius,

I'm afraid this is not possible using Histogram series but you can obtain that using Bar series, setting BarWidthPercent to 100 and UseOrigin property:

Code: Select all

        Bar bar1 = new Bar(tChart.getChart());
        bar1.fillSampleValues(50);
        bar1.getMarks().setVisible(false);
        bar1.setBarWidthPercent(100);
        bar1.getPen().setVisible(false);
        bar1.setUseOrigin(true);
        bar1.setOrigin(0);
