Enabled: Not in help file, at least, turns off zooming and panning.
Some kind of upward shadow of entire chart background, not available.
DragCursor, DragMode: Drag and Drop support, standard VCL/LCL property.
DockSite: Enables Docking, not supported by LCL and TAChart.
DepthTopAxis: Characteristics of the left-top axis in 3D chart, see separate chapter on TChartDepthAxis.
TAChart does not have a depth axis in 3D charts.
DepthAxis: Characteristic of the bottom-right axis in 3D chart, see separate chapter on TChartDepthAxis.
CustomHint: ?, not available in TAChart.
Similar to TAChart's AxisList which, however, contains also the default axes.
Constraints: Standard VCL / LCL property.
Color: Background color of entire chart, the same as with TAChart.
Not available in TAChart, works as always true.
#Teechart borland delphi 7 series
ClipPoints: boolean, default true: Toggles the drawing of series points within chart boundaries, preventing other chart regions from being overwritten.
Similar to TAChart's property Depth of chart and some series.
Chart3DPercent: Ratio between chart dimensions and chart depth Chart.View3D is true.
BottomWall: See separate chapter on TChartBottomWall.
BorderWidth: Seems to have the same effect as the LCL's BorderSpacing.Around.
BorderRound: If greater than 0 the Border is drawn as a RoundRect with this radius.
See TChartPen, Visible = false by default.
Border: A frame around the entire chart.
BevelInner, BevelOuter, BevelWidth: Bevel parameters like those of a TPanel - TeeChart's TChart inherits from TCustomPanel.
BackWall: See separate chapter on TChartBackWall.
If BackImage is an icon, BackImageTransp is true and cannot be changed.
BackImageTransp: Boolean, default false: If true the transparency is that of a TBitmap, i.e., the transparent color is taken from the left-bottom pixel of the image.
BackImageMode: Defines the way the image is drawn/repeated on the background, options (pbmStretch, pbmTile, pbmCenter, pbmCustom).
BackImageInside: Boolean, default false: If true the BackImage is drawn in the rectangle defined by the axes or frame, otherwise it is a background image of the entire chart.
BackImage: Allows to add a background image (see also other "BackImage*" properties).
AxisVisible: Boolean, default true: Turns on/off axis title, marks, ticks, and grid of all axes.
Property missing in TAChart, but effect can be achieved by TChartAxis.ZPosition. If false, axes are drawn at the front wall, before the series.
AxisBehind: Boolean, default true: In 3D view, draws axis in the back wall, behind the series.
AutoSize: VCL/LCL property of some classes, don't know its effect on the chart, no entry in help file.
Animations: Don't know, a click on the ellipsis button opens the series editor, maybe a feature of TeeChart Professional.
TAChart has an equally-named property which only turns built-in panning on/off further panning control is possible by linking a TChartToolset to the chart.
AllowPanning: Controls built-in panning support (panning directions, turn panning off).
AlignWithMargins: VCL property, missing in LCL.
In this section, we compare classes used by TeeChart at several places in various other classes. If a feature is not available in TAChart we will often use short statements like "not available" without giving reference to TAChart. We will list the TeeChart methods and properties, give a short description based on the help file or own experiments and experience, and discuss the differences to TAChart and how they can be resolved. See also TAChart_documentation#TeeChart_compatibility.Ī note on the structure of this document: Because it is intended to help porting applications from TeeChart to TAChart the basis of this comparison will be TeeChart. It can be used as a guide when porting applications from Delphi, as well as a source of inspiration for future TAChart development. This page contains a brief comparison of properties and methods between (trunk version of) Lazarus TAChart packageĪnd TeeChart Standard package which comes with Delphi XE2.
