Relevant information for the current release - FOXCHARTS 1.

20 PRODUCTION RELEASE +++ PRODUCTION RELEASE +++ VERY IMPORTANT ==================================== This version uses the latest version of GdiPlusX - 1.20 FoxCharts needs it for the latest improvements So, if you already have a System.App version installed, make sure to update it r eplacing with this new one, since FoxCharts / GdiPlusX could make some confusion s locating the correct version. It is safe to use the new version, don't be afraid to replace your production ve rsion - but anyway, keep a copy of your old version just in case some issues rel ated to this new version appear.

FOXCHARTS TEAM ==================================== Project manager: Cesar http://weblogs.foxite.com/vfpimaging Developers: Cesar Ch Bo Durban Jim Nelson Colaborators - people that have been providing very valuable support and feedbac k: Grego Kandirys Paulo Henrique Thiago Takehana Peter Wagner Luis Maria Guayan Alex Yudin Carlos Alloatti Augusto Minari Christof Wollenhaupt Klaus Hentschel Moshe Emerson Reed Borislav Borissov Leandro Walfrans Ricardo Soares A. Roy Chowdhurry Yousfi Benameur Matt Weinbender Koen Piller Bernard Bout Harry Lode Karl Schierman Special thanks to Bo Durban, for his continuous and great support, providing new possibilities for this class. Jim Nelson and Alex Yudin also have been providing very important help and sugge stions. Lots of things of this new version have their participation.

This version also contains several fixes and new features, as shown below FEATURES since version 1.00 RC ==================================== New property - "OldStyleProperties" *** IMPORTANT NOTE: Property "oldstyleproperties" indicates whether you are usi ng the original way (.FieldValue1). However, the default for this variable is . F., so charts created with original way will fail until this property is set. ! Restored Enumeration types for "3D Bars" and "Stacked Area", according to Vers ion 0.40 So, now 3D Bars have the enumeration 11, while Stacked Area goes back to 10. That would be a problem for existing applications that use 10 as the value, and Version 0.40 has already more than 1400 downloads. New property for animation, when a slice of Pie or Dougnut is detached "PieDetachAnimationSteps" - Integer

Info for version 1.00.3 RC ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Several fixes Tooltips positions Fixes for pgFrames

New propety - "Debug" Creates the file "FoxCharts.log" that will contain relevant information about er rors generated by FoxCharts. If you find some errors, please do generate this file, setting the property "Deb ug" to .T. - TRUE, and recreate the bug. Please send the log file to vfpimaging@hotmail.com New public array property: "aCoord" Array that stores information about the object that is under the mouse, like X, Y, Width, Height, Value, Legend, Start, Sweep, ChartIndex, RECNO(), ObjType. See HELP for detailed information about the available info. Supports more than one line of text in the Axis2 text

Info for version 1.00.7 RC -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Useful when the scale values are very big. Useful when the values are very big, and scales could be reduced, eg. Supposing you have the maximum value of 790,000. For this case it would be recommended to divide the scale values by 1000, for a better exibition. You need also to remind your user that the values were divided, setting the YAxi s.Caption to eg. "values in thousands" Fixed the scale calculation. A wrong chart was generated when a the values were eq ual, or when a single column of data was used Info for version 1.00.14 RC ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fixed mouse relative position calculation.

The center point of the gradient color of an ellipse can be easilly changed too. This brings the possibility to control exactly where the gradient will get the destination color. Just setting the 2 new properties below: "PieGradCenterAngle" - Numeric, the angle that the desired Center Point for the gradient brush will be applied (0-360). Use together with "PieGradCenterDistance " "PieGradCenterDistance" - Numeric, the distance from the center that the desired Center Point for the gradient brush will be applied (-2, +2).

Saves the current chart to a file in the image format compatible with Gdi+: Bmp, Png, Jpeg, Gif, Tiff and Emf. Just send the file name as a parameter, and FoxCharts will save the current char t based on the file extension. Usege: Thisform.FoxCharts1.SaveToFile("c:\MyChart.Png") && Png image file Thisform.FoxCharts1.SaveToFile("c:\MyChart.Jpg", 50) && 50% quality Jpg.

GetChartProperties now takes another parameter to indicate whether property desc riptions should be included. (This only works from within the IDE, not in APP o r EXE). In my pageframe, I've added a checkbox for this on the 'Properties' tab . SaveChartProperties now takes a parameter that allows you to skip saving altoget her if already saved. 5 - Scale calculation tweaks For calculating scale values, the method _CalculateScale was fixed. It corrects two problems encountered The problems had to do with some instances where the scales were set odd, and al so problems when setting the minimum value to something other than zero. 6 - Tooltips Tooltips will obbey their parent configuration, allowing to have different toolt ips formatting when having more than one FoxCHarts object available in the curre nt form.

They are useful for comparing the percent values of several series for the same points arguments. The labels in shapes can specify whether real values are shown for each point la bel, or the representative percentage; and also change the visibility of point labels. New properties: PieDirection Integer (0-1), determines the direction that the slices will be drawn in Pie or Doughnut charts *** 0 = Clockwise, 1 = Anticlockwise ShowPercentages Logical, for full-stacked charts, determines if the default ShapeLegend and Tool
