How to best create this kind of chart

Hello,

I have a chart with a ColorGrid series and I would like to display a vertical line series (red line) on top of this ColorGrid.
The Left axis is actually the same axis for both series (Scan Number) the top axis should display the X values of the line series (Measured Voltage V)

Hello,

The easiest way is probably yo assign the Top axis to the THorizLineSeries and set that axis to limit the length of that axis. Here I'm setting it to end at the 20% of the chart width:

Code: Select all

uses TeeSurfa, Series;

var colorGrid1: TColorGridSeries;
    horizLine1: THorizLineSeries;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Chart1.View3D:=False;
  Chart1.Legend.Hide;

  colorGrid1:=Chart1.AddSeries(TColorGridSeries) as TColorGridSeries;
  horizLine1:=Chart1.AddSeries(THorizLineSeries) as THorizLineSeries;

  colorGrid1.FillSampleValues;
  horizLine1.FillSampleValues;

  horizLine1.HorizAxis:=aTopAxis;
  Chart1.Axes.Top.EndPosition:=20;
end;

Hello Yeray,

I got it right for the TColorGridSeries series now :

How to get it right for a similar TSurfaceSeries:

I somehow can't see how to get the axis right....

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure to understand what would you exactly like it to get.

Hello Yeray,

I want to achieve that:

The line can be drawn at any height of the {Counts} axis.
[Scan Number] should be the common axis again.

Thanks and best regards

Hello,

For this kind of chart I would use a TPoint3DSeries with hidden Pointer. Ie:

Code: Select all

var surface1: TSurfaceSeries;
    points1: TPoint3DSeries;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var i: Integer;
begin
  Chart1.Legend.Hide;
  Chart1.Aspect.Orthogonal:=False;
  Chart1.Chart3DPercent:=100;
  Chart1.Aspect.Zoom:=60;
  Chart1.Axes.Left.SetMinMax(0,10);
  Chart1.Axes.Left.LabelsFont.Size:=20;
  Chart1.Axes.Bottom.LabelsFont.Size:=20;
  Chart1.Axes.Top.LabelsFont.Size:=20;
  Chart1.Axes.Depth.LabelsFont.Size:=20;
  Chart1.Axes.Depth.Visible:=True;
  Chart1.Axes.Bottom.Increment:=1;
  Chart1.Axes.Depth.Increment:=1;
  Chart1.Axes.Left.Texts.MarginToAxis:=100;
  Chart1.Axes.Top.Texts.MarginToAxis:=100;

  surface1:=Chart1.AddSeries(TSurfaceSeries) as TSurfaceSeries;
  surface1.FillSampleValues();

  points1:=Chart1.AddSeries(TPoint3DSeries) as TPoint3DSeries;
  points1.Pointer.Hide;
  points1.HorizAxis:=aTopAxis;
  Chart1.Axes.Top.EndPosition:=50;

  for i:=1 to 9 do
    points1.AddXYZ(i, i, random*i);
end;
