• All Series Series marks can display symbols next to each mark. The symbol color is the same as the chart legend
• TeeListBox Radio buttons - The listbox control can now display series with "radio" buttons instead of check-boxes. This can be useful in cases where only a single series needs to be visible. OnChangeActive event - This event is called when the end user clicks the checkbox or radio icon to show or hide a Series. The event includes the Series
• Chart Themes "Themes" provide an easy single-click way to alter many of the Chart formatting and color properties. Included themes are TeeChart, Microsoft Excel®, Business, Classic and Web. End users can change the selected "theme" at runtime either using the chart editor dialog new Themes tab. Themes can also be selected programatically
• TColorBand tool New OnClick event, and Clicked and BoundsRect functions. The color band object now provides an OnClick event, Clicked function and BoundsRect function that returns the color band rectangle in pixels
• TCommander Editor and Previewer - The commander control adds two new properties to show customized chart editor and print preview dialogs, using your preferred TChartEditor and TChartPreviewer components: TeeCommander1.Editor = TeeEditor1, TeeCommander1.Previewer = TeePreviewer1, TeeEditor1.EditorTitle = "My custom Editor Dialog", TeePreviewer1.PreviewTitle = "My custom Preview Dialog"
• Custom Chart Color Palettes The default color palette is now a dynamic array that can be replaced by code. Several predefined palettes are available at runtime
• Chart Legend Radio groups - Legend can now display "radio" buttons alongside series to let the user choose a single visible series
• Scrollbar tool New tool to add scrollbar facilities to Chart Legend. The scrollbar editor dialog provides many formatting properties like colors, sizes, etc.
• Legend Title The Chart Legend provides a new property "Title" of class TTeeShape. Legend Title text and formatting can be fully customized
• Miscellaneous New LastValue (Integer) read-only public property. Returns the value index of the last visible item in legend. This complements the already existing FirstValue property

Legend - When the legend is behind the chart (using Legend HorizMargin or VertMargin properties), TChart1.OnClickSeries was not working correctly

TeeChart Pro ActiveX is a 32-bit COM Control suitable for all ActiveX enabled environments. TeeChart Pro ActiveX charting component library offers hundreds of Graph styles in 2D and 3D, 33 mathematical and statistical Functions for you to choose from together with an unlimited number of axes and 14 toolbox components. You can also use TeeChart ActiveX to create dashboards.

TeeChart ActiveX includes Server and Client components
Use the full power of the TeeChart ActiveX Control on the server: Database enabled and with all export formats for use in your ASP, ISAPI, CGI or MTS application. Direct stream output as a browser independent format or the lightweight ActiveX client control for ActiveX aware Browsers, with a fully navigable, event driven Chart to work interactively with server sourced data.

TeeChart ActiveX ASP/IIS Support
TeeChart ActiveX offers a now even stronger support for ASP and ASPX. Export formats include: JPEG, GIF, PNG, EPS, PDF, Native Tee, BMP, WMF, EMF and, of course, live Charts on the browser with the tab. Charts may be streamed directly to the browser to avoid maintenance of temporary files. TeeChart ActiveX includes extensive code examples to guide the way.

TeeChart ActiveX ADO Support
Inbuilt support for Microsoft's ActiveX Data Objects. Plug in to external Recordsets or create them with the Chart Editor.

TeeChart ActiveX Output formats
TeeChart renders in most popular Graphics formats including JPEG, PNG and WMF/EMF and also generates Flex compiled code for on-the-fly Flash image generation, live with inline animations.

TeeChart ActiveX offers Fast speed and small memory size consumption.
TeeChart graphical code speaks directly to Windows GDI API. Data is stored in dynamic arrays that are very closely mapped to memory which makes access and modifying the arrays almost as fast as the computer processor. The code is streamlined as much as possible to increase internal speed, especially when re-drawing.

TeeChart ActiveX is Easy to use at design and run-time.
TeeChart includes powerful and complete editor dialogs, for almost every component and sub-component. These editors are available at design-time and also at run-time. The TeeCommander component (a toolbar with charting specific buttons) provides one-click access to TeeChart editors and common features.

Huge documentation and examples
The help file and documentation include a reference guide, a user guide, tutorials with detailed "how to" explanations, end-user help and a comprehensive example project (with complete sources) that contains nearly 400 forms. Pressing F1 gives context help for almost all screens and source code elements.

Translations into several languages and Unicode support.
TeeChart offers 25 Editor languages and is Unicode compliant for multi-characterset support, including double-byte languages, for true global application development.
