Remarks

Changing the type of chart

  • When changing the type of chart, the parameters of the former chart that cannot be reproduced in the new chart are reinitialized.
  • Changing the type of chart may produce unexpected effects. For example, when a Pie chart (grPie constant) is changed into a Scatter chart (grScatter constant), all the points are aligned on the X-axis (horizontal axis).
  • The type of chart can be changed in the context menu. However, the display options produce different visual effects for each type of chart.
  • The parameters defined by <Chart>.Type will be taken into account during the next call to <Chart>.Draw.
