InfoMaker 11.5 adds 3D rendering to display the 3D graphs (Pie3D, Bar3D, Column3D, Line3D, and Area3D) with a more sophisticated look. The new graph styles let you use data item translucency instead of the overlays used by original 3D graph styles. However, you can still use the 3D graphs with the original rendering style if you want.
The new graph rendering style are supported for standalone graph controls and for graph controls in an InfoMaker report.
The new 3D rendering depends on the DirectX runtime, which will be installed the first time the user selects the feature. After the Render3D check box is initially selected, the DirectX installer will launch. If the check box is selected for an unsupported style, nothing happens until one of the supported 3D graphs is selected. If you opt out of the installation, the Render 3D property is ignored.
The following properties are not supported in the new 3D graph styles.
Axis: ShadeBackEdge, MajorTic, MajorGridLine, DropLines, MinorDivisions, MinorTic, MinorGridLine, PrimaryLine, SecondaryLine, OriginLine, Frame
Text: Underline and Alignment for axis labels and text.
