Hello
Since i have updated to the Version 2014 last week, i have the problem with my printouts of my Charts.
I useing Fastreport for my Reportgenerator:
Follow is the line where i print it out:
Code: Select all
PROCEDURE TfrmVis_Grafik.frxReportChartBeforePrint(Sender: TfrxReportComponent);
BEGIN
IF Sender.Name = 'Picture1' THEN BEGIN
TfrxPictureView(Sender).Picture.Assign(Chart.TeeCreateMetafile(False, Rect(0, 0, Round(Sender.Width), Round(Sender.Height))));
END;
END;
See attached Files what is printed:
"Aufnahme6.jpg" ist the Preview of the Chart in my Form
"Aufnahme7.jpg" is the Preview in Fastreport (Take a look to the legend)
"gktext.wmf" is the filesave of the Method TeeCreateMetafile, is also wrong!!
I think, there is a bug in the Method TeeCreateMetafile!!
Kind Regards
Gregor

Hello Yeray
Thanks for the answer, but i found an other issue!
It's not only the checkboxes, it's also the legend itself, because it's overlaped at the left and right border see attachmend.
Kind Regards
Gregor

Do you agree it sounds similar to this?

Since you are a source code customer, I'll send you a beta version to check if it works as you expected.
Please, tell us if any issue mentioned above are still reproducible for you with that beta.
If so, please try to arrange a simple example project we can run as-is to reproduce the problem here.

Hello,
I've just revised it for the next maintenance release.
Since you have the sources, you can remove these lines in DrawBox method in Chart.pas:
Code: Select all
{$IFNDEF FMX}
{$IFNDEF LCL}
// Fix for a strange problem that worked fine in previous versions.
// GDI+ canvas displaces the checkbox vertically up, when drawing onto a Metafile canvas.
if (ParentChart.Canvas.ReferenceCanvas is TMetafileCanvas) and ParentChart.Canvas.SupportsAlpha then
Inc(tmpY,13);
{$ENDIF}
{$ENDIF}
Don't forget to run TeeRecompile after modifying the sources to compile and install the packages in your IDE.
