Customizing wall borders.

Hi
I am trying to design nicer borders for my chart.
our graphics gave as an image of what they would like

I tried to play around with the Walls (The Back wall mainly), Bevel , BorderRound etc but didnt see any effect of these properties. I couldnt see any change in the borders. The only things that seem to have an effect are the Pen and Color of the Walls
I would like to give the chart walls a shadow and also to have a kind of double border just like in the picture (white and gray). I also want rounded corners.
What options are available to get as close as possible to such effects. If not then what options can I play with to try and fine tune the borders.
thanks.

Hi qcrnd,

Yes, the border walls don't allow too much modifications. I'm afraid that they don't support shadows, border rounding nor double borders.

I think that you could play with axes positions (displacing them a pixel or two away) to have achieve a double border effect or you could also draw lines directly to the canvas to do it.

Finally let me suggest you to take a look at the demo:
All Featues\Welcome !\Miscellaneous\Panel\Round Borders
You should find examples, demos, help and tutorials at TeeChart programs group.

Hi
I had a look at the demo. its not what I need. I need the chart itself (the walls) to have a rounded look with shadow.
So all the properties in teh Walls (Bevel etc) have no effect at all , or is something for the future ?
Thanks

Hi,

Yes you are right. I've added it to the wish list to be implemented in future releases (TF02014166).
