Gradient fonts

[UserLS]

In my examples the gradient is set as following:
start color = red
middle color = yellow
end color = green

Here is how horizontal direction come up:

The vertical is not much better:

The "from center" works only if the word wrap is set to "Tile" (at least it works then).

I do not know about your clients, but mine will not like this... And again, in old Win32 version we did not have any problems like this!

Hi UserLS,

Yes you are right. I could reproduce it with the following code and I've added it to the wish list to be fixed in further releases (TF02014528).

Code: Select all

tChart1.Header.CustomPosition = true;
tChart1.Header.Left = 30;
tChart1.Header.Top = 50;
tChart1.Header.Font.Size = 80;

tChart1.Header.Font.Gradient.Visible = true;
tChart1.Header.Font.Gradient.StartColor = Color.Red;
tChart1.Header.Font.Gradient.MiddleColor = Color.Yellow;
tChart1.Header.Font.Gradient.EndColor = Color.Green;
tChart1.Header.Font.Gradient.Direction = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientMode.Horizontal;

tChart1.Footer.Visible = true;
tChart1.Footer.Text = "My Footer";
tChart1.Footer.CustomPosition = true;
tChart1.Footer.Left = 30;
tChart1.Footer.Top = 180;
tChart1.Footer.Font.Size = 80;

tChart1.Footer.Font.Gradient.Visible = true;
tChart1.Footer.Font.Gradient.StartColor = Color.Red;
tChart1.Footer.Font.Gradient.MiddleColor = Color.Yellow;
tChart1.Footer.Font.Gradient.EndColor = Color.Green;
tChart1.Footer.Font.Gradient.Direction = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientMode.Vertical;
