SetRange

Declaration:

ChartBook.Charts[].SetRange (Layer: integer; xLo, yLo, xHi, yHi: double);

The method SetRange sets the size of a layer and redraws it using the new scaling of the layer addressed by the parameter Layer. If Layer is zero, all layers are affected by the method, setting all axes to the specified range. The parameters xLo, yLo, xHi, and yHi specify the ranges of the x- and the y-axis. This method is of importance for cases where the range of a chart should be adjusted dynamically (e.g. following the movement of the mouse) because of avoiding any unnecessary calculation of the scales. In case of invalid parameters (e.g. negative values with logarithmic scales) SetRange is not executed at all (no exception is generated). If any of the axes has no extent (i.e. xLo =xHi, or yLo =yHi ), the range of the axis is automatically set to +/-ScalePropsX[].MinRange/2 and ScalePropsY[].MinRange/2, respectively, of the mid value. Hint: In order to set the ranges in a way that all graphics elements are visible, the method AutoRange can be used.
