Can we have two charts in the same canvas?

[brian]

Hi All,

I would like to draw the second chart at the top right corner of the first chart's canvas, and then print out this combined chart layout. Can we do it ? Thank you very much for your support.

Bye,

Hi brian

Yes, you can do it. You have to print the form, you can do something similiar as below code:

Code: Select all

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument document = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument();

            document.PrintController = new System.Drawing.Printing.StandardPrintController();
            document.PrintPage += new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventHandler(document_PrintPage);

            document.Print();
        }

        void document_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
        {
            Rectangle r1 = new Rectangle(0, 0 , tChart1.Chart.Width , tChart1.Chart.Height );
            Rectangle r2 = new Rectangle(tChart2.Left - tChart1.Left, 0, tChart2.Chart.Width , tChart2.Chart.Height);

            System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile m = tChart1.Chart.Metafile(tChart1.Chart, r1.Width , r1.Height);
            System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile m2 = tChart1.Chart.Metafile(tChart2.Chart, r2.Width, r2.Height);

            e.Graphics.DrawImage(m, r1, tChart1.Chart.ChartBounds, GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
            e.Graphics.DrawImage(m2, r2, tChart2.Chart.ChartBounds, GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
        }

We are currently working in v3 and it will include SubChart tool which will make what you request much easier as you will just need to print the parent chart.
