Print multiple charts on multiple pages including preview???

[Alex]

Dear Support,

How can I print two Tcharts, each on a new page (Tchart1 on page 1, Tchart2 on page 2).
Is there a way to catch the print event using a handler, and placing the chart output manually on the page?
e.g. idea like this:

Code: Select all

select case page
case 0
   tchart1.print(e)
   e.graphics. ...
       .....adding a lot of additional objects
   e.hasmorepages=true
case1
   tchart2.print(e)
   e.graphics. ...
        .....adding a lot of different additional objects
end select
page +=1

The result should be a way to place e.g. 4 charts on page 1, 10 charts on page 2, and so on... (including user defined graphic objects, depending on the actual page number).

Thanks in advance!

Regards

Alex

Hi, Alex.

One way to print multiple charts per page is to use the following code:

Code: Select all

Steema.TeeChart.Printer pt = new Steema.TeeChart.Printer(tChart1.Chart);
pt.BeginPrint();
pt.Print(tChart1.Chart,new Rectangle(0,0,1000,500));
pt.Print(tChart2.Chart,new Rectangle(0,500,1000,1000));
pt.EndPrint();

There are other methods which you could use, some of them will be added for next major TeeChart .Net release.

Hi Marjan,

thanks for the fast answer. I know this method, but don't know how to print on multiple pages using this method. And also I don't know how to print preview these multiple pages using this method.
Like I described the usual way to do is using the printdocument in combination with the e.hasmorepages=true. But how to add the tchart graphic to the graphics object?

Is there a way to do this, or is the actual Tchart.NET version limited to print multiple charts on a single page?

What other methods do exist?

Thanks!

Hi Alex,

this feature (print the Chart in multiple pages ) still not available in the latest maintenance release available. However it will be added in one of the next releases.

Hi Pep, hi all!

if someone needs to do printing on multiple pages, the solution is in the thread "print axv7 using print document" -> streaming the chart image.
Pep gave me a hint in that thread.

Best regards

Alex
