rbuser

I would like use Grafics (Chart) in my reports and how can do?

There are others component?s then Tee Chart?

what is version of teeChart that run with Report Builder? Just the
Professional (Tee Chart Pro)?

digitalmetaphors

TeeChart support (as documented in the RB online help) is summarized below.

If you have an image (such as a bitmap, GIF or JPEG) then you can certainly
use the TppImage component...

An important update to the following information: as of RB 7.0 (any
edition), a registered version of TeeChart is NOT required for printing and
previewing TeeChart. A registered version of TeeChart is ONLY required when
you intend to pass along the TeeChart UI as part of the end-user solution.

---------------------------------
TeeChart Support for Delphi 6

The ReportBuilder installation program can automatically detect which
version of TeeChart you are using and install the appropriate support units
and packages. If you have installed TeeChart after ReportBuilder is already
installed, you can simply re-run the ReportBuilder installation program, and
the appropriate TeeChart support will be installed. The following
information is provided to help you manually install TeeChart support if the
normal installation has failed.

If you are getting an 'IEdiSeri' or 'IEdiCha' error message when you try to
compile a project that contains TeeChart functionality, then TeeChart is
probably installed correctly. In order to get around these error messages
you must either compile your project with packages or purchase the
registered version of TeeChart from www.teemach.com.

ReportBuilder didnt work well with TeeChart because the resolution of the
resulting charts (simple piecharts) is realy bad. Digital Metaphors are not
interested in solving this problem. The DM solution: See the next release.
Fine way to sell.

After some years of using RB and getting no solution over month we searching
for an other reporting tool.

TeeChart components print clean and crisp for me - and that's because they
print as WMF images (not GIFs, JPEGs or bitmaps.) TeeChart components have
always printed this way - which is why the quality has always been
excellent. Try this:

1. Open the example project in RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports
2. At the top of the main form, remove the 'x' from the {x$DEFINE
ppTeeChart}compiler directive
3. Select View | Project Manager
4. Right-click Demo.exe and select Options...
5. Click the Build with Packages check box and delete everything from the
edit box
6. Check Build with Packages off then back on
7. Wait for one or two seconds while the package list is automatically
rebuilt
8. Run the project and preview report 92
9. Print report 92: the chart should come out clean and crisp...

Huh? I never suggested an upgrade - simply pointed out that a long-time
sticking point with regard to RB & TeeChart compilation had been resolved in
7.0. This a compilation fix: it has nothing to do with the printing of
TeeCharts.

I also copied just the 'high-level' information from the on-line help.
Three pages of compatibility information covering six different versions of
TeeChart. The help also contains six more pages of low-level TeeChart
related information. We most definitely do take TeeChart very seriously -
and we exert a tremendous amount of development effort to support it too.

Huh? Looks like our last response to your question was this:

"There are a few options here. By default RB renders the chart as a
metafile.
You can try changing the PrintMethod to pmBitmap to see if that will improve
the results. If that doesn't give satisfactory results then you can use a
regular teechart component (not TppChart), render offscreen to a file, and
load that into a TppImage."

To which you never responded. If you stop communicating we assume you
resolved the problem. Obviously that's not the case. So let's work the
actual problem: Pie chart, even when rendered as a metafile, doesn't print
the way you want it too. That's something we can research...

I've attached an example of a Pie Chart in an RB report. Prints fine (as a
WMF) to an HP LJ 5.

I'm using Win2K Professional, Delphi 6 (SP 2), and RB 6.03...
