Hi Peter,
I am trying to show grid in my chart which is solid line and have some depth in it. So that it displays more like a 3D grid lines. I tried several things but was not able to get it done the way I want. Please let me know if this is supported by the chartDirector package version 5.0.
Thanks,
Freny |

Hi Freny,
The "3D grid line" in your case is composed using two lines - one of darker color, and one of lighter color.
One method to achieve this effect is to draw two marks lines at each grid position. I assume in your case the y-axis is auto-scaled (which means your code does not know the grid positions), you may use the following approach. (As I am not sure of your programming framework, I will use VB/VBScript in the following example.)
.... create chart as usual .....
Call c.layoutAxes() 'auto-scale axis
ticks = c.yAxis().getTicks() 'now can get the tick position
For i = 0 To Ubound(ticks)
'A lighter color mark line
Set mark = c.yAxis().addMark(ticks(i), &Hf8f8f8)
Call mark.setDrawOnTop(false)
Call mark.setLineWidth(2)
'A darker color mark line
Set mark = c.yAxis().addMark(ticks(i), &Haaaaaa)
Call mark.setDrawOnTop(false)
Next
Hope this can help.
Regards
