Series output order

Hello,
i'd like to use SeriesShape to draw a rectangle on chart. Unfortunately, the rectangle is drawn OVER existing lines. Are there ways to draw a shape UNDER all other lines on chart. Is there any way to control the output order?

Hi nefis,

the only way around this that I know of is using the ExchangeSeries method as you said.

The problem with ExchangeSeries is that it does change series ID. so to use it one should update all IDs. which is in my case too hard to do

Hi,

you can always identify the Series using something like the following :

Code: Select all

    Dim Ser1 As ISeries
    Set Ser1 = TChart1.Series(1)
    Ser1.FillSampleValues (10)
    Ser1.Pen.Color = vbBlue

If you don't want to use ExchangeSeries than have a look at the example in the TeeChart AXv6 Feature Demo under:
Welcome -> Previous version -> New Features -> Chart -> Events -> OnBeforeDrawChart.

You can draw a rectangle using the Canvas drawing methods.
