Tchart and Table help? 1

[pierrotsc]

The tchart manual is not really great. I googled but could not find an answer to my issue.
I have a table. each records have 42 fields. 21 for X and 21 for Y values.
I have setup a dataset with single record. I am selecting all the Y values. Each X goes from 0 to 255 so does the Y.

When i display the chart, the Y values display fine but on the x axis, it goes from 0 to 20. How can i display the real X values on the X axis? That means values from 0 to 255 stored in the table.

If someone has a link to a tutorial, i would appreciate it.
Thanks.

Here are a few links.

Sometimes, I just find it easier to use the the regular TChart rather than TDBChart by adding the data from my datasource manually. (The first link will show how to add data manually).

I see...Thanks I have been spending hours trying to find out a way. I guess the manual way should work. I will try it tomorrow.
Thanks again for the prompt answer.

again, thank you. the idea of using a regulat tchart instead of tbchart and populating the chart by hand was a terrific idea.
it works great...
Appreciate it.

Glad it helped. Once I figured out how to manually set the data, I found that it does what I want, as opposed to having to live with what it gives me.
