TCHART not responding with high precision double values

[Bhanu]

Hi,

We are using: Teechart activeX pro 2018 and Visual studio 2017

We are getting an issue where TCHART goes into not responding state when we try to plot high precision double values which we read from a file.
We have noticed that this issue arises when the values have very little difference after 10 decimal places.
We managed to run our application by using float types instead of double but this is not desired since accuracy is very important for our application and using float types rounds off the decimal part.

Please look into it and guide us how to handle this problem.

The sample code is given below.

Code: Select all

m_TChart.AddSeries(scLine);

double Y  = 939.06965494521967;
double Y1 = 939.06965494521955;	

m_TChart.Series(0).AddXY(0, Y, _T(""), RGB(255, 0, 255));
m_TChart.Series(0).AddXY(1, Y1, _T(""), RGB(255, 0, 255));

Hello,

I could reproduce it in ActiveX using VB6, and also in TeeChart VCL.
I think the issue is soon or later you'll have to find a compromise.

Here it is a trick you can do if you are not going to have values far from that ~939. The idea is to substract the integer part to represent the data without errors. Then, use OnGetAxisLabel event to format the labels adding the integer part back in:

Code: Select all

Private Sub Form_Load()  
  TChart1.Aspect.View3D = False
  TChart1.Legend.Visible = False
  
  TChart1.AddSeries scLine
  
  Dim Y0, Y1 As Double
  Y0 = 939.06965494521967
  Y1 = 939.06965494521955
  
  TChart1.Series(0).AddXY 0, Y0 - 939, "", clTeeColor
  TChart1.Series(0).AddXY 1, Y1 - 939, "", clTeeColor
  
  TChart1.Axis.Left.Labels.ValueFormat = ".##############"
  TChart1.Axis.Left.Labels.Style = talPointValue
  TChart1.Axis.Bottom.Increment = 0.2
End Sub

Private Sub TChart1_OnGetAxisLabel(ByVal Axis As Long, ByVal SeriesIndex As Long, ByVal ValueIndex As Long, LabelText As String)
  If Axis = 0 Then
    If (SeriesIndex > -1) And (ValueIndex > -1) Then
      LabelText = "939" + Format$(TChart1.Series(SeriesIndex).YValues.Value(ValueIndex), TChart1.Axis.Left.Labels.ValueFormat)
    End If
  End If
End Sub
