TChart without TppTeeChart - I think

rbuser

I have a TChart on a form and I simply want to print that chart on a
ReportBuilder report. I don't want to have to use a TppTeeChart and try
recalculating the graph. I simply want to take the chart that I already have
print it out. I'm not sure how to do this. Am I able to use a TppTeeChart
and do an assign from one to the other?

Thanks

Hi Jeff,

The easiest way to do this (in my opinion) is to convert the chart to a meta
file using the TeeChart.TeeCreateMetaFile, then loading that image directly
to a TppImage component on a report.

var
lMeta: TMetaFile;
liWidth: Integer;
liHeight: Integer;
begin

liWidth := MyChart.Width;
liHeight := MyChart.Height;

lMeta := MyChart.TeeCreateMetaFile(True, Rect(0, 0, liWidth, liHeight));

ppImage.Picture.Graphic := lMeta;

end;

Sounds fine to me!

Thanks for that.
