vTrendlines don't work with multi-series 2D line charts

[lolek]

Are vertical trend lines not supported in line charts? I found the functionality in bubble and scattered charts, but nowhere else. I would very much like to use them in line charts so as to draw vertical zones on the chart. I've seen there is a vLine that can be used in similar way, but vLine, with huge thicknesses shows nasty beveling on the corners of lines which stand out of the chart:/

 

How can I mark vertical zones in 2D line charts?

Hi,

I am afraid, the Bevel effect that extends out of the chart cannot be removed when the thickness of the vLInes is increased, as of now.

Please try setting the value of the attribute "alpha" to "50" in the <vLine> element to give the chart a visual effect of a "Vertical Zone".

Ref.- <vLine color='000000' thickness='50' alpha='50' /> 

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the workaround you proposed doesn't work as the beveling is still there.

 

Or maybe I'm doing something wrong..?

 

This what I put to XML:

Sorry, the code didn't paste. Here it is:

 

 

 

vLine color="000000" thickness="50" alpha="50" linePosition="0.1" labelPosition="0" labelHAlign="right"  showLabelBorder="0" />

Hi,

You are welcome.

The XML you have posted is completely correct.

Just a minor change. The attribute linePosition="0.1" that you mentioned can only have the value of either "0" or "1".

Ref.-   <vLine color="000000" thickness="50" alpha="50" linePosition="0.1" labelPosition="0" labelHAlign="right" showLabelBorder="0" />

I am afraid, the Bevel effect that extends out of the chart cannot be removed when the thickness of the vLInes is increased, as of now, as I have already mentioned earlier.

Please feel free to revert in case you have any further queries.

Thank you for correction.

 

 

 

So - in other words - there is no way to make vertical zones in charts other than Bubble and Scattered?

Hi,

You are always welcome.

I am afraid, there are no solutions to this issue, as of now.
