Hi Experts,

I have a application which uses Nevron Chart with various Chart Types (point, line, bar...) - and it is possible to display multiple charts in rows and / or columns. In general, I process the data in the following way:

// Create Charts
....
// Create Series (create Scale: Lin / log...) and attach them to the Chart
...
// Fill Series with Data (AddRange...)
...

// Recalc layout so that the Chart can be placed manually within the panel so that multiple Charts can be drawn in  rows / columns:
   _NevronChart.document.Calculate();
    _NevronChart.document.RecalcLayout(_NevronChart.View.Context);
    _NevronChart.Refresh();


// apply zoom settings for each Chart - if applicable
...

// allign Charts within the Panel
...
// add events for interactivity
...

This approach has been working quite good so far. But with the last Nevron update only Point-Chart was still working - all other Charts did not show any data.
After investigating the problem, the line:
_NevronChart.document.Calculate();
seemed to be the culprit.

After removing the line, at first glance everything was working as before with the previous Chart Version.So the questions are now:

1) What is the recommended way to force the Chart to recalc its Layout so that I can use the chart values for getting Min/Max Values , updating the used rulers depending on the loaded data values for the axis as well as updating the chart coordinates to place the Chart within a panel for Multi-Chart arrangements ?

2) Is it not adviceable to use _NevronChart.document.Calculate(); before a _NevronChart.document.RecalcLayout(_NevronChart.View.Context); call ?
With previous versions I got the impression that calling RecalcLayout() might even be dangerous since under certain circumstances it can cause a hard crash of the Chart component.

2) When exactly is it adviceable to call _NevronChart.Refresh(); ? Is it a problem when the call happens to often ?

Thanks for your help,
Best regards,
Joern
