Navigator map for TTree diagramming control
Following a request from a customer at TeeChart UserVoice (see this link), we’ve implemented a “navigator map” for TTree. TTree (see picture) is a diagramming /flow-control component included in TeeChart Pro for VCL and FireMonkey frameworks.

Converting VCL/FMX and ActiveX templates to .NET.
Over the years, a number of TeeChart users have asked how to convert the charts they created either using TeeChart VCL/FMX or ActiveX to the .NET version, enabling them to more easily port their previously created charting projects to .NET. Well, this is possible! It might not be the ideal or perfect solution but it’s an approximation that […]

Using Themes with TeeChart
Introduction “Themes” allow changing all visual formatting properties of Charts with a single click or line of code. The default look of a TeeChart hasn’t been changed for many years. This is on purpose, as it might be annoying to discover existing charts have completely different colors or font styles just because a new version […]
