IChartSerie.MasterSerieIdx

Syntax

MasterSerieIdx: Integer;

Description

The MasterSerieIdx property determines index of the additional series that is an extension of the main series.

Comments

Default value : -1, main series is not extended. If the value is different than -1, the secondary series is displayed as extension of the main series.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains a regular report with the REGULAR_REPORT_MSIDX identifier. This report must contain only linear chart with five series.

Add links to the Chart, Metabase, Report, Tab system assemblies.

Sub Userproc;
Var
    mb: IMetaBase;
    regrep: IPrxReport;
    chart: IChart;
    sheet: IPrxSheet;
    table: ITabSheet;
    objects: ITabObjects;
Begin
    // Open a regular report for edit
    mb := MetabaseClass.Active;
    regrep := mb.ItemById("Regular_Report_MSIDX").Edit As IPrxReport;
    // Get chart from regular report
    sheet := regrep.Activesheet;
    table := sheet.Table;
    objects := table.Objects;
    chart := objects.Item(0).Extension As IChart;
    // For the first, third, fifth series extend the main series
    chart.Series.Item(0).MasterSerieIdx := 1;
    chart.Series.Item(2).MasterSerieIdx := 3;
    chart.Series.Item(4).MasterSerieIdx := 5;
    // Save changes
    (regrep As IMetabaseObject).Save;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example the first, third and fifth chart series are merged with the fourth and sixth ones.
