Get canvas pixel color

Post by Peter Carr » Fri Mar 10, 2017 12:35 am

I am trying to obtain a pixel color in the OnAfterDraw event with

Code: Select all

X := Chart1.BottomAxis.CalcPosValue(XCoord);
Y :=Chart1.LeftAxis.CalcPosValue(YCoord);
AColor:=Chart1.Canvas.Pixels[X,Y];
But this always returns claWhite even though I have applied color fill with the Series Region Tool during the plotting.

Hello,

We can't map the pixels as we are drawing elements directly in the canvas.
If you activate UseBuffer to use an internal bitmap, then it should work:

Code: Select all

Chart1.Canvas.UseBuffer:=True;
