TLineSeries:
Setting
Series->LinePen->Visible = false
does not have any effect in build 2013.09.131119.
The line is still visible (only the symbol in the legend becomes larger).

This is as designed. In 2D mode, to hide a Line series you should set Series1->Visible=false instead of LinePen->Visible, otherwise nothing will be painted.

In 3D, LinePen->Visible = false will not paint the lines surrounding the 3D segments of the line.

The client says this won't work for him as he only wants to hide the line segments pen and keep pointers visible: http://www.teechart.net/support/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14537&p=64075#p64075. Should he change line series style to point series instead?

Ah! Then this should be improved, line can only be hidden if Pointer->Visible == true

I'll do this change.

Fixed.

Automatically forcing the 2D line to paint, is done now only when the series Pointer and DrawArea arent painted.
