I'm using the following to export to a csv file:
m_Chart.Export().Data.Text.TextDelimiter = ", "
m_Chart.Export().Data.Text.TextLineSeparator = vbCrLf
m_Chart.Export().Data.Text.IncludeHeader = True
m_Chart.Export().Data.Text.IncludeLabels = True
Dim ms As IO.MemoryStream = New IO.MemoryStream
m_Chart.Export().Data.Text.Series = m_Chart.Series(0)
m_Chart.Export().Data.Text.Save(ms)

And my output is like follows:
Text, Bar1
15, 100
16, 0
17, 0
18, 0
19, 0
20, 0
21, 0
22, 0

My problem is, I want my x and y axes labels to replace the "Text, Bar1" line. In my code above, it looks like IncludeLabels is not doing anything (if I remove, I get the same output). What properties in the series or bar to I have to set in order to have the labels that are displayed on the axes of the graph in the export. I know I could change the name of Bar1 to whatever my y-axis label is, but I have no idea where the "Text" is coming from?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Brock,

My problem is, I want my x and y axes labels to replace the "Text, Bar1" line. In my code above, it looks like IncludeLabels is not doing anything (if I remove, I get the same output). What properties in the series or bar to I have to set in order to have the labels that are displayed on the axes of the graph in the export. I know I could change the name of Bar1 to whatever my y-axis label is, but I have no idea where the "Text" is coming from?

OK. Have a look at the following code (latest available TeeChart for .NET version):

Code: Select all

private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {
	Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Bar bar1 = new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Bar(tChart1.Chart);
	bar1.Title = "MyBarSeries";
	Random rnd = new Random();
	for(double i=0;i<10;++i) {
		bar1.Add(i,rnd.Next(100), "string" + i.ToString(), Color.Red);
	}
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {
	tChart1.Export.Data.Text.Series = tChart1[0];
	tChart1.Export.Data.Text.IncludeHeader = true;
	tChart1.Export.Data.Text.IncludeIndex = true;
	tChart1.Export.Data.Text.IncludeLabels = true;
	tChart1.Export.Data.Text.TextLineSeparator = ";";
	tChart1.Export.Data.Text.Save(@"C:\TEMP\exptxt.txt");
}

The output from this code is the following:

Index Text MyBarSeries;
0 string0 49;
1 string1 40;
2 string2 9;
3 string3 33;
4 string4 91;
5 string5 33;
6 string6 51;
7 string7 54;
8 string8 72;
9 string9 42;

Here, the Text field is coming from the string text argument of the Add() overloads which contain it.

Thanks for the reply Chris...

I can change the Bar1.Title = "Uptime %", but what I also need to do is change the "Text" header for the x-axis label (which in this particular case represents "Hour") to "Hour" which is what is actually the text displayed on my x-axis.

Is this possible or will "Text" (for the column header) always be displayed no matter what. If that is the case, I will need to write my own export routine to go through the values and display the x/y-axis as the column header. Not really a problem, but I was hoping to use the built-in export functionality.

Thanks.

Hi.

The label header name can also be changed. See the following code:

Code: Select all

      bar1.YValues.Name = "MyBarSeries";
      Steema.TeeChart.Texts.Text = "Hour"; // << Export filter uses Texts.Text as label header
      Random rnd = new Random(); 
      for(double i=0;i<10;++i) 
      { 
        bar1.Add(i,rnd.Next(100), "string" + i.ToString(), Color.Red); 
      }

Export filter uses Texts.Text string as label header. Since it's not a constant string, you can change it to whatever you like.
