Hi,

I want to present series pointers like a balloons (similar to Google map pointers). It shoud be similar to Bubble series with x,y and Radius but shifted up and with some link. What is the best way to accomplish that?

Please consider Balloon series as a feature request.

Regards,
odissey1

something like that (can't figure how to upload an image here)

Hi odissey1,

Thanks for your interesting suggestion. I have added it to the wish-list to be considered for inclusion in future releases. In the meantime you could use TRectangleTool with its callout and arrow visible. For calculating tools positions you can use Chart1.Axes.Left.CalcYPosValue and Chart1.Axes.Bottom.CalcXPosValue methods.

Hope this helps!

Hi NarcĂ­s,

I was wondering if this requested feature had been developed. We are very interested in exactly this feature.

Regards,
Joel

Hi Joel,

This is feature request with ID TV52013590 and hasn't been implemented yet, I have increased its priority on the wish-list. In the meantime, you could also use ImagePoint series for plotting that. It's like a point series but you can choose the image used as series pointers. You'll find an example at All Features\Welcome!\Chart Styles\Other\Image Point in the new features demo available at TeeChart's program group.
