Chart Component

[goodmanrAy]

Has anyone got any advice on a Chart Component I can use.
TChart is not flexible enough, in that I want exact control over where headings/text is placed and where the graph is positioned etc.

Cheers

It is probably impossible to answer your question without knowing precisely what you require.

However, if you need exact control over the presentation of your graph and have the time it is not impossible to write your own in Delphi.

I did this for my last employer and it was an interesting piece of work to do. The graphs were limited to two dimensional bar charts and to pie graphs. I learnt a lot about coping with different canvas sizes (printers and screens).

No doubt others will suggest various components that have proved successful for them. But it can take quite a long time to evaluate packages to ensure that they meet your precise requirements.

In defence of TChart, at first I didn't think it was very flexible but there is quite a bit that you can tinker with. I've been using it quite heavily these past few months so if you tell me the precise things you'd like to do that you don't think TChart will let you do, I'll confirm whether TChart can or can't do it.
