  InterlineLayer and Grids
Posted by Tony on Feb-10-2012 01:37
Hi - When I create an XYChart and show a grid all is fine.  When I add an interlinelayer, the layer displays OK but is over the grid.  How can I make the grid always visible, ie 'on top' of all chart layers?

Thanks

Also the interline layer is on top of a scatterLayer that I have as well.  Ive had a look in the documentation but cant see a way to order the drawing - i.e. interlinelayer first, then other layers, then the grid ....

Ive worked round it by making the interline layer a chart on its own and then the real data in another chart with a transparent background and then combining both into a multichart - is this the best way to do this?

Hi Tony,

In ChartDirector Ver 5, you can use Layer.moveFront, Layer.moveBack and PlotArea.moveGridBefore to rearrange the ordering of the layers and the grid lines. For example, in Java/C#:

//move layer1 behind layer2
layer1.moveBack(layer2);

//move the grid in front of layer2
c.getPlotArea().moveGridBefore(layer2);

Hope this can help.
