The TssResourceAllocationChart uses four classes to represent various components:

  • TssResourceAllocationChart: represents the whole chart.
  • TssResource: represents a single resource that can be allocated.
  • TssResourceAllocation: represents a single allocation of a single resource.
  • TssResourceAllocationChartAppearance: properties the control the appearance of the chart.
  • Various types used by the chart.

TssResourceAllocationChartAppearance

TssResourceAllocationChartAppearance is a helper class that holds properties that determine the appearance of the chart. You can create different instances of this class to, for example, cause printed output to look different from screen output.
Color PropertyPublished TColor
The colour of the outer part of the chart underneath the resource names and date labels..
DateFormat PropertyPublished string
The format used for the date labels. Leave blank to use the default regional setting short date format.
DateLabelBase PropertyPublished TDateTime
DateLabelBase allows the position of the date/time labels to be specified. Use in conjunction with DateLabelInterval to control the exact position of the date/time labels. Set DateLabelBase to 0 to revert to the automatic positioning of the labels.

Note: DateLabelBase and DateLabelInterval are not used if the OnDrawDateLabel event is set.
DateLabelInterval PropertyPublished double
The interval between date/time labels.

Note: DateLabelBase and DateLabelInterval are not used if the OnDrawDateLabel event is set.
DateLineBase PropertyPublished TDateTime
DateLineBase allows the position of the date/time lines to be specified. Use in conjunction with DateLineInterval to control the exact position of the date/time lines. Set DateLineBase to 0 to revert to the automatic positioning of the lines.

Note: DateLineBase and DateLineInterval are not used if the OnDrawDateLine event is set.
DateLineColor PropertyPublished TColor
The colour of the vertical lines drawn at date/time labels.
DateLineInterval PropertyPublished double
The interval between date/time lines. Set it to 0.0 to draw date/time lines at the same location as the date/time labels.

Note: DateLineBase and DateLineInterval are not used if the OnDrawDateLine event is set.

ResourceLineStyle PropertyPublished TPenStyle
The style of the lines drawn behind resources. The lines are not drawn if the style is set to psClear. The style psSolid is always used if the line width is greater than 1.

ResourceTopMarginRows PropertyPublished TssIntegerZeroOrGrearter
The number of "rows" to leave clear at the top of the chart.

RowHeight PropertyPublished TssIntegerZeroOrGrearter
The height of the allocation bars. Set to zero to use a value based on the height of the currently selected font.
ShadowColor PropertyPublished TColor
