Donut Marks Position

[Eic]

Hello.

I use the following code to generate donuts. I have little room to generate my graph.

Code: Select all

	TChart * Chart1 = new TChart(this);
	Chart1->Parent = this;
	Chart1->View3D = false;

	Chart1->Width = 270;
	Chart1->Height = 245;

	TDonutSeries* serie = new TDonutSeries(Chart1);
	serie->CustomXRadius = 47;
	serie->CustomYRadius = serie->CustomXRadius;
	serie->Legend->Visible = false;

	serie->Add(82, UnicodeString("Protection \r\n sociale \r\n 82%"), clBlue);
	serie->Add(1, UnicodeString("Avantages en \r\n nature \r\n 1%"), clRed);
	serie->Add(17, UnicodeString("Revenu \r\n immédiat \r\n 17%"), clWhite);

	Chart1->AddSeries(serie);

One of the marks is not positioning correctly. She leaves the panel, while she might be positioned elsewhere. I suspect that the positioning algorithm may not be easy to manage, but maybe you can improve it.

Hello,

Indeed the antiovelap algorithm could be improved to better handle some situations. However the more complex the alrogirthm, slower it will be.
Have you tried using the TDragMarksTool to manually position your marks?

(I'm not sure why some programs show the blue in that screenshot as purple )

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.
Your solution is interesting, but alas in our situation, the graphics are not visualized. They are generated, exported as an image and integrated into a document.

Using the TDragMarksTool is not possible.

Hello,

I've added it to the public tracker:
http://bugs.teechart.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1719

Also note here you can find proposed solutions for the marks overlapping:

Hello,

Here a simple example:

Code: Select all

uses Series, TeeDonut, TeeTools;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var tmpRect: TRect;
begin
  Chart1.View3D:=False;
  Chart1.Legend.Visible:=False;
  Chart1.Title.Visible:=False;

  with Chart1.AddSeries(TDonutSeries) as TDonutSeries do
  //with Chart1.AddSeries(TPieSeries) as TPieSeries do
  begin
    Add(82, 'Protection'+sLineBreak+'sociale'+sLineBreak+'82%', clBlue);
    Add(1, 'Avantages en'+sLineBreak+'nature'+sLineBreak+'1%', clRed);
    Add(17, 'Revenu'+sLineBreak+'immédiat'+sLineBreak+'17%', clWhite);
  end;

  Chart1.Tools.Add(TDragMarksTool);

  AntiOverlap;
end;

procedure TForm1.AntiOverlap;
var R1,R2,DummyRect: TRect;
    i, j: Integer;
    mp1, mp2: TSeriesMarkPosition;
begin
  Chart1[0].Marks.Automatic.Move:=false;
  Chart1.Draw;

  mp1:=TSeriesMarkPosition.Create;
  mp2:=TSeriesMarkPosition.Create;

  for i:=0 to Chart1[0].Count-1 do
  begin
    mp1:=Chart1[0].Marks.Positions.Position[i];

    for j:=0 to Chart1[0].Count-1 do
    begin
      if (j<>i) then
      begin
        mp2:=Chart1[0].Marks.Positions.Position[j];

        R1:=mp1.Bounds;
        R2:=mp2.Bounds;

        while (IntersectRect(DummyRect, R1, R2)) do
        begin
          mp1.Custom:=true;
          mp1.LeftTop.x:=mp1.LeftTop.x+4;
          mp1.LeftTop.y:=mp1.LeftTop.y+4;
          mp1.ArrowTo.x:=mp1.LeftTop.x+4;
          mp1.ArrowTo.y:=mp1.LeftTop.y+4;
          R1:=mp1.Bounds;
          R2:=mp2.Bounds;
        end;

        Chart1.Refresh;
      end;
    end;
  end;
end;

It gives a better result, but you could probably improve the algorithm to better fit your needs.
