VERY IMPORTANT
====================================
This version uses the latest version of GdiPlusX - 1.20
FoxCharts needs it for the latest improvements
So, if you already have a System.App version installed, make sure to update it r
eplacing with this new one, since FoxCharts / GdiPlusX could make some confusion
s locating the correct version.
It is safe to use the new version, don't be afraid to replace your production ve
rsion - but anyway, keep a copy of your old version just in case some issues rel
ated to this new version appear.

Special thanks to Bo Durban, for his continuous and great support, providing new
possibilities for this class.
Jim Nelson and Alex Yudin also have been providing very important help and sugge
stions. Lots of things of this new version have their participation.
This version also contains several fixes and new features, as shown below
FEATURES since version 1.00 RC
====================================
New property - "OldStyleProperties"
*** IMPORTANT NOTE: Property "oldstyleproperties" indicates whether you are usi
ng the original way (.FieldValue1). However, the default for this variable is .
F., so charts created with original way will fail until this property is set.
! Restored Enumeration types for "3D Bars" and "Stacked Area", according to Vers
ion 0.40
So, now 3D Bars have the enumeration 11, while Stacked Area goes back to 10.
That would be a problem for existing applications that use 10 as the value, and
Version 0.40 has already more than 1400 downloads.
New property for animation, when a slice of Pie or Dougnut is detached
"PieDetachAnimationSteps" - Integer
Info for version 1.00.3 RC
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
Several fixes
Tooltips positions
Fixes for pgFrames
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
We're developing a CHM help file. This is still very crude, but contains already
some very basic information that you may find useful.
New propety - "Debug"
Creates the file "FoxCharts.log" that will contain relevant information about er
rors generated by FoxCharts.
If you find some errors, please do generate this file, setting the property "Deb
ug" to .T. - TRUE, and recreate the bug.
Please send the log file to vfpimaging@hotmail.com
New public array property: "aCoord"
Array that stores information about the object that is under the mouse, like X,
Y, Width, Height, Value, Legend, Start, Sweep, ChartIndex, RECNO(), ObjType. See
HELP for detailed information about the available info.
Supports more than one line of text in the Axis2 text
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
Now when an empty cursor is passed , only the background and titles will be draw
n - no error raised
Fixed "GetAdJustedAngle", by CWollenhaupt - Pie and Doughnut charts were been dr
awn only on the right side
"FieldAxis2" supports Date values
Fixed samples
New samples included
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
New event "ShapeToolTips"
Improved property stuff
New sample ChartSample_Tooltips
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
New property "BackGroundAlpha" - Numeric, determines the Alpha for the backgroun
d color (0-255)
Tweaks on the Tooltips, compensating the position if the tooltips need to go out
side the chart boundaries
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
Fix on angle calculation for the correct mouse detection at the 1st quadrant for
Pie / doughnut charts
Tweaked YAxis legend drawing, now using the Canvas' Graphics object, in order to
keep quality in EMF output
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
New property "ScaleDivider"
Numeric, the value that the scales must be divided. Useful when the scale values
are very big.
Useful when the values are very big, and scales could be reduced, eg. Supposing
you have the maximum value of 790,000.
For this case it would be recommended to divide the scale values by 1000, for a
better exibition.
You need also to remind your user that the values were divided, setting the YAxi
s.Caption to eg. "values in thousands"
Fixed the scale calculation. A wrong chart was generated when a the values were eq
ual, or when a single column of
data was used
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
Fixed mouse relative position calculation. Now tooltips appear correctly being F
oxCharts in any kind of object: Form, Container or PageFrame
Added new assert's in order to provide more accurate error messages
New property - "Shadow" - Logical, determines if a shadow will be drawn instead
of the 3d - depth efect. Works for Bars, Pie and Doughnut types
Improved Gradient effects - now you can specify the locations where the gradient
destination color will be in the shape
New Properties
"GradientPosition" - Numeric, a value from 0 through 1 that specifies where, alo
ng any radial from the center of the path to the path's boundary, the center col
or will be at its highest intensity. A value of 1 (the default) places the highe
st intensity at the center of the path.
"GradientType" - Integer,
0 = SigmaBell - gradient brush that changes color starting from the center
of the path outward to the path's boundary. The transition from one color to an
other is based on a bell-shaped curve. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/b
s92fkt6.aspx
1 = Triangular - gradient with a center color and a linear falloff to each
surrounding color. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c5yfy1y0(VS.80).aspx
"GradientInvertColors" - Logical, determines if the gradient start and destinati
on colors will be inverted.
The center point of the gradient color of an ellipse can be easilly changed too.
This brings the possibility to control exactly where the gradient will get the
destination color. Just setting the 2 new properties below:
"PieGradCenterAngle" - Numeric, the angle that the desired Center Point for the
gradient brush will be applied (0-360). Use together with "PieGradCenterDistance
"
"PieGradCenterDistance" - Numeric, the distance from the center that the desired
Center Point for the gradient brush will be applied (-2, +2). Use togethe
r with "PieGradCenterAngle"
The sample "ChartsSample_New" was adapted to use these new properties.
Select the colors tab, and play with the spinners
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
New property
"ShapeMousePointer" - Numeric, Specifies the shape of the mouse pointer when the
mouse is over a shape of the chart at run time
"GradientShapeDirection" - Integer, (0-3) determines the gradient direction for
gradient brush charts: 0 - horizontal; 1 - vertical; 2 - diagonal1 ; 3 - diagona
l 2
Improved "ChartsSample_New.scx" in order to show the new properties working, and
also allowing to change colors interactively
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
Properties "aColors" and "SingleData" have been renamed in order to become for p
ublic use.
"aColors" - ReadOnly, Array that contains information about the current colors f
or the chart. Useful when working with random colors.
"SimgleData" - Logical, ReadOnly, tells if the current chart is based on single
data, eg. Pie, Doughnut, Single Bars
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
New "SaveToFile" method
PARAMETERS:
tcFile - character, the destination file name. Make sure to add the extension, o
therwise the chart will be saved in PNG format.
tnQuality - numeric, determines the image quality to be used when a JPEG file is
saved. From 0 (low quality) to 100 (best quality).
Saves the current chart to a file in the image format compatible with Gdi+: Bmp,
Png, Jpeg, Gif, Tiff and Emf.
Just send the file name as a parameter, and FoxCharts will save the current char
t based on the file extension.
Usege:
Thisform.FoxCharts1.SaveToFile("c:\MyChart.Png") && Png image file
Thisform.FoxCharts1.SaveToFile("c:\MyChart.Jpg", 50) && 50% quality Jpg.
For full control while saving, or for using some specific encoders, you can acce
ss the "oBmp" property of FoxCharts and use the GdiPlusX commands available for
the bitmap object.

3 - Property descriptions and PEM Editor 4
Added new DOPEs in properties
All the property descriptions have been revised, and from now on, the usage of P
EM Editor 4 is strongly and enthusiastically recommended in order to provide the
best user experience for FoxCharts, allowing the developer to better visualize
what each property does, as well as the possible values accepted for each proper
ty.
4 - Getting chart properties enhancements
Jim Nelson tweaked some methods as well, in order to provide new possibilities f
or saving properties,
and a fix for Scales calculation.
GetChartProperties now takes another parameter to indicate whether property desc
riptions should be included. (This only works from within the IDE, not in APP o
r EXE). In my pageframe, I've added a checkbox for this on the 'Properties' tab
.
SaveChartProperties now takes a parameter that allows you to skip saving altoget
her if already saved.
5 - Scale calculation tweaks
For calculating scale values, the method _CalculateScale was fixed. It corrects
two problems encountered
The problems had to do with some instances where the scales were set odd, and al
so problems when setting the minimum value to something other than zero.
6 - Tooltips
Tooltips will obbey their parent configuration, allowing to have different toolt
ips formatting when having more than one FoxCHarts object available in the curre
nt form.
Tooltips will be shown even if the form does not have the focus
7 - Samples
