Printing 2 charts on one page

[realsol]

Regarding the layout, I see two options:
- You can create two charts. One on the top with two TBarSeries, and one on the bottom with a TPieSeries.
- You can create a chart with a TSubChartTool. The main chart could contain the two TBarSeries and the Chart in the SubChartTool could contain the TPieSeries.

I have the Std Version and have used two charts on the screen for the user. 1 bar chart with 2 series and a pie chart with 1 series. Is there a way to have both charts print on one page?

Hello,

Have you tried to follow the "Print previewing several Charts on one page" instructions in the "Tutorial 14 - Printing Charts" in the online documentation?

Not as easy as that, but extracting part of the code from the Pro unit "PreviewPanel":

Code: Select all

uses FMX.Printer, FMXTee.Canvas;

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var PaperRect: TRect;
    PaperColor: TColor;

  Procedure CalcPaperRectangles;
  var
    PrinterWidth  : TCoordinate;
    PrinterHeight : TCoordinate;

    procedure SetScreenSize;
    var P : TPoint;
    begin
      P:=TeeGetScreenSize;
      PrinterWidth:=P.X;
      PrinterHeight:=P.Y;
    end;

  Const Margin=5;
  Var tmpClientWidth,
      tmpClientHeight,
      tmpWidth,
      tmpHeight : TCoordinate;
  begin
    Printer.Orientation:=TPrinterOrientation.poPortrait;

    {$IFDEF ANDROID}
    SetScreenSize;
    {$ELSE}
    try
      PrinterWidth :=Printer.PageWidth;
      PrinterHeight:=Printer.PageHeight;
    except
      on EPrinter do
         SetScreenSize;
    end;
    {$ENDIF}

    tmpClientWidth:=Width;
    tmpClientHeight:=Height;

    if (tmpClientWidth*PrinterHeight)>(tmpClientHeight*PrinterWidth) then
    Begin
      tmpHeight:=tmpClientHeight-Round(tmpClientHeight/Margin);
      PaperRect.Top:=Round(tmpClientHeight/(2*Margin));
      PaperRect.Bottom:=PaperRect.Top+tmpHeight;

      if PrinterHeight>0 then
        tmpWidth:=(tmpHeight*PrinterWidth / PrinterHeight)
      else
        tmpWidth:=tmpClientWidth;

      PaperRect.Left:=(tmpClientWidth-tmpWidth)*0.5;
      PaperRect.Right:=PaperRect.Left+tmpWidth;

Thanks for this code. But my double chart will show only one chart when either chart is clicked or drilled-down.

• If a user clicks on the bar chart, I am going to set the Bar chart and the splitter visible := false and use only the pie chart.

• In some cases if a user clicks on the Pie chart I will do the same thing, leaving only the pie chart

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
Chart1.PrintProportional:=False;
Chart2.PrintProportional:=False;

Chart1.PrintMargins:=Rect(2,2,2,50);
Chart2.PrintMargins:=Rect(2,50,2,2);
end;

What would I need to alter when printing just the pie chart?

[Yeray]

Hello

What would I need to alter when printing just the pie chart?

To print only one chart you can just:

Code: Select all

Chart2.Print;

[realsol]

I knew it was a simple answer. I'll move the code from the OnCreate to my printer button and use it only if I am printing 2 reports and use Chart.Print when printing one.

Thanks.
