Custom point series pointer style

Hi,

I was hoping someone might be able to tell me how to draw customized series points. For example, if you wanted to use hexagons instead of circles or sqaures for each point in a TPointSeries. Currently, the Pointer.Style property only supports more standard type shapes.

Do I need to define my own TSeriesPointer class. If so how would I go about it?

Thanks,
Andy.

Hi Andy,

An easy solution would be using Image Point series as in the All Features\Welcome!\Chart Styles\Other\Image Pont example at TeeChart features demo, available at TeeChart's program group.

Hi Fang,

With ImagePoint series you can use any image you want as the series pointer. Which is the exact problem you are having?

ye thanks. I'll try that.

But I also use teechart routines to draw the symbols to the dropdown checkbox, so I kinda wish you guys add a general way to expand custom symbols, ex. an array at which user can add custom symbol that can be accessed globally by teechart line series.

Hi Fang,

Ok, I added your request to our wish-list to be considered for inclusion in future releases.
