TeeChart 2012 for Delphi, includes many demos, but the first one I thought I'd try is the features\tee9new.dpr demo, a monster of a demo which appears to be hard-coded to contain over 200 unit references to units that only ship in the high-end TeeChart product SKUs, and so the demo doesn't build out of the box, even though it ships in teeChart standard, it's a useless demo.
It appears there are zero "just your basic TChart demo" demos included with the package.
Maybe I'm missing something. But at some point the Features demo became all about gradients and polar maps, and crap that isn't in TeeChart 2012 standard.
If there isn't one provided by Steema, can someone point me at a demo that does the following three things:
Create at least five types of charts (bar, line, series, etc).
Show the recommended code patterns for working with charts every day.
I am currently hacking the Features demo to remove stuff that doesn't build in standard, but surely there must be something like this out there already? I have spent over an hour hacking on the demo and it seems I'm nowhere close to dealing with the "things that don't work in standard or pro".
I'm currently attempting to get ANY demo running in delphi 7, 2007, and xe2.
I'm afraid the kind of demo you are asking for is not available but I have already prepared a simple example project using a few basic series styles, showing how to add data to them, letting the user display basic chart objects, etc. It's available here. Following the guidelines at the tutorials provided you should be able to easily extend it.
