How to do a Portfolio Chart with TChart?

Hi,
I am trying to do a portfolio chart like
http://ppmexecution.com/wp-content/uplo ... 24x747.jpg with TChart.
I thought the right charttype was Bubblechart, but when I use something like ...
Series1.AddBubble(1,1,0.2,'Portfoliobubble 1');
Series1.AddBubble(-1,-1,0.2,'Portfoliobubble 2');
... both bubbles are shown on top of each other and not - as I would have expected - in the bottom left and top right corners of the portfolio.
How can I achieve a portfoliochart with TChart?
Best regards
Roland

Hi Roland,
To put the Left and bottom axes in the middle of the chart:
Code: Select all
Chart1.Axes.Left.PositionPercent:=50;
Chart1.Axes.Bottom.PositionPercent:=50;

Hi Yeray,
thanks - I know that, but this does not solve my problem.
My problem is that the X value seems to be neglected when I use
Code: Select all
Series1.AddBubble(1,1,0.2,'test1');
Series1.AddBubble(-1,-1,0.2,'test2');
The bubbles are shown in the correct Y value position but in the same X value position.
What do I need to do to have them in different X positions?
Best regards and thanks for your effort
Roland

I've added a chart to a new simple application using TeeChart v2015.14 and the following code:
Code: Select all
uses BubbleCh;
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
Chart1.View3D:=false;
with Chart1.AddSeries(TBubbleSeries) as TBubbleSeries do
begin
AddBubble(1,1,0.2,'test1');
AddBubble(-1,-1,0.2,'test2');
end;
Chart1.Axes.Bottom.LabelStyle:=talValue;
end;
And this is what I get, that seems to be correct to me:

If this is not what you are getting please tell us what environment are you using (what exact TeeChart, IDE version and OS) and please arrange a simple example project we can run as-is to reproduce the problem here.
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
That works in the same way for me, but the problem is that I do not want digit values but simply good, neutral, bad labels on the axis and that on all sides of the chart ... (see attachment)
I had problems to get that.
Ok - I achieved what I wanted now, but I do not understand why I need to do it like that - imo it should be easier - perhabs it is and I simply use TChart not in a good way. But I guess a certain complexity cannot be prevented when a component is such mighty as TChart ...
I do it now as follows ...
I added four custom axises to the chart.
In the chart setup I do ...
Code: Select all
Chart.Axes.Left.Automatic := false;
Chart.Axes.Right.Automatic := false;
Chart.Axes.Bottom.Automatic := false;
Chart.Axes.Top.Automatic := false;
Chart.Axes.Left.Visible := false;
Chart.Axes.Right.Visible := false;
Chart.Axes.Bottom.Visible := false;
Chart.Axes.Top.Visible := false;
Series1.AddBubble(1,1,0.2,'test1');
Series1.AddBubble(-1,-1,0.2,'test2');
SetAxisLabelsGoodNeutralBad(0);
SetAxisLabelsGoodNeutralBad(1);
SetAxisLabelsGoodNeutralBad(2);
SetAxisLabelsGoodNeutralBad(3);
SetAxisLabelGoodNeutralBad contains ...
Code: Select all
Chart.CustomAxes[AAxisId].Automatic := false;
Chart.CustomAxes[AAxisId].Items.Clear;
Chart.CustomAxes[AAxisId].Items.Add(1,'gut');
Chart.CustomAxes[AAxisId].Items.Add(0,'neutral');
Chart.CustomAxes[AAxisId].Items.Add(-1,'schlecht');
Please let me know if there is an easier way.
Thanks a lot again for your help.

Hello,
You should be able to do the same using the default Left/Right/Top/Bottom axes instead of using Custom Axes:
Code: Select all
var Series1: TBubbleSeries;
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
Chart.View3D:=false;
Series1:=Chart.AddSeries(TBubbleSeries) as TBubbleSeries;
Series1.VertAxis:=aBothVertAxis;
Series1.HorizAxis:=aBothHorizAxis;
Series1.AddBubble(1,1,0.2,'test1');
Series1.AddBubble(-1,-1,0.2,'test2');
SetAxisLabelsGoodNeutralBad(Chart.Axes.Left);
SetAxisLabelsGoodNeutralBad(Chart.Axes.Right);
SetAxisLabelsGoodNeutralBad(Chart.Axes.Top);
SetAxisLabelsGoodNeutralBad(Chart.Axes.Bottom);
end;
procedure TForm1.SetAxisLabelsGoodNeutralBad(AAxis: TChartAxis);
begin
AAxis.Grid.Visible:=false;
AAxis.Items.Clear;
AAxis.Items.Add(1,'gut');
AAxis.Items.Add(0,'neutral');
AAxis.Items.Add(-1,'schlecht');
end;
I've seen InflateMargins doesn't work fine for the Top axis in the TBubbleSeries when HorizAxis=aBothHorizAxis, so I've added it to the public tracker (
B1197), and I already fixed it for the next maintenance release.
