Hi,

I would like to know what is the best way to update a large quantity of NRangeSeries into a graph without freezing the whole application.
Knowing that the graph will be updated every 5 seconds (maybe less)

I thought of 2 options :

1) Disable the graph refresh, clear all values from the graph, add the new values and fillstyles, re-enable the graph refresh
2) As the points will be the same each time but only the colors will change, only update the fill styles


For option 1, I'm a bit lost between all these nevron objects and I don't really know where to look for the refresh disable/enable property (the NChartControl, the NChart or the NRangeSeries object) ?

For option 2, I'm not sure that using the FillStyles is the best thing to do. For each point I would like to be able to define an associated color corresponding to a value not depending on the coordinates. Now each time I add a new point, I do it this way:

        For Each pt As tGraphPoint In ptLst
          fRangeSeries.Values.Add(pt.Z)           'Nevron Y start  - Deepth (Z axis)
          fRangeSeries.Y2Values.Add(pt.Z + 2)     'Nevron Y end    
          fRangeSeries.XValues.Add(pt.X)          'Nevron X start  - Horizontal (X axis)
          fRangeSeries.X2Values.Add(pt.X + 1)     'Nevron X end     
          fRangeSeries.ZValues.Add(pt.Y)          'Nevron Z start  - Vertical (Y axis)
          fRangeSeries.Z2Values.Add(pt.Y + 1)     'Nevron Z end    
          i += 1
          fRangeSeries.FillStyles.Add(i, New NColorFillStyle(GetColorFromValue(pt.Value, plotVariable)))
        Next

But when comes the time to refresh what is the best thing to do ? Clear FillStyles and only add the new ones or is there a way to replace the specific color for a given coordinate ?

Thanks for your help,
Regards,

Joël
