exporting report makes graph distorted

edited February 2004 in General
I am using Teechart 6 and reportbuilder 7.03.


I have a 2 graphs on my report. When I use the actual graph component to
export the graph(to emf) at design-time the image is clear and readable.
However if I export the report to EMF using RBexportdevices, the report text
is clear, but the graph and its labels are distorted.

I have set the graphs printmethod to metafile.

Does anyone know why this is.


Thanks
Shaine Gordon

    Hello Shaine,

    This is because charts and metafiles are converted to raster images (BMP,
    JPEG).

    Just to know what kind of options are available for exporting your
    ReportBuilder reports you would want to try out eDocEngine. It renders
    charts and metafiles as vector graphics, retaining the clarity that is in
    the original.

    Here are some features:

    Why eDocEngine is the preferred solution for rendering reports?
    ===============================================================
    * Vector Chart and Metafile rendering ensures sharp scalable
    graphics in the generated PDF, RTF or other supported format. Also
    ensures files are extremely compact and easy to distribute.

    * RichText is rendered as RichText (not image) in all document formats
    ensuring crisp documents that can be text searched and scaled without
    loss of quality.

    * Advanced features for PDF output include, compression, encryption,
    TrueType fonts, font embedding, font sub-setting, international
    characters (European, Chinese, Japanese...), bookmarks, notes
    annotations, form fields, triggers and more.

    * All standard and custom controls are exported, without the
    need for extra coding on your part.

    * Intelligent cell formatting in Excel and all spreadsheet formats
    enables values to be encoded in the correct format, automatically.

    * End-user configuration through *customizable* dialogs.

    * SPEED. All engines of eDocEngine are highly optimized for high-speed
    conversion of reports.

    * Use one product for all your electronic document creation needs -
    Export from any Delphi/C++Builder reporting tool and other VCL
    components, cutting cost and reducing learning curve.

    * Generic engine gives you full control to further enhance the
    created document with additional Textual and graphical content,
    bookmarks, watermarks, form fields (in PDF) and so much more.
