1) Where does CREATEOBJECT("gdiplus") come from? What does your class do, and how does it take care of itself (what kind of Destroy/Release code)?

I don't even see you setting it explicitly to NULL here. Yes I see it's LOCAL, but you still should, IMHO, so you can control when the cleanup code runs.

2) More importantly, where is your ELSE with a DODEFAULT(...) in the Render method, so that objects that are *not* Chart can be rendered properly ?
