TCrossFunction -- can I get the returnvalue of the crosspoint?

[senbengtma]

series 1 and series2 is crossing .. but how do I get the value of the cross point

[mathsbertil]

Do i understand correctly that the first point in the parent series is the first cross point?

Code: Select all

repeat
        if LinesCross(index1,index2,x,y) then
           ParentSeries.AddXY(x,y);

Hello,

Yes, the series you assign the TCrossPointsFunction to contains the crossing points.
Ie:

  crossPoints.Pointer.Size:=2;

  crossPoints.DataSources.Add(line2);

  Memo1.Lines.Add('Crossing Points:');
  with crossPoints do
    for i:=0 to Count-1 do
      Memo1.Lines.Add('X: '+FormatFloat(ValueFormat, XValues[i])+', Y: '+FormatFloat(ValueFormat, YValues[i]));
end;

thanks ..clear! but..

where exactly is the trigger for the final painting of the chart and lines.

I try to debug step by step in Tee9New.. but get lost.

is it here?

------ from Base Form---------------

ncGDIPlus : if not (Chart1.Canvas is TGLCanvas) then // <-- For demos with default OpenGL Canvas, do not change it !
if not (Chart1.Canvas is TGDIPlusCanvas) then // <-- Do not assign a GDI+ canvas if it already is !
Chart1.Canvas:=TGDIPlusCanvas.Create;
{$ENDIF}
else
Chart1.Canvas:=TTeeCanvas3D.Create;

Hello,

I'm not sure what are you trying to achieve.
In the example I posted above, the calculation of the crossing points starts as soon as the second series is added to the crossPoints DataSources.
