TChart and importing current charts

rbuser

Hi,

I can see a TChart component in the ReportBuilder report. However, I have
some charts already defined in a standard Delphi form. Can I somehow use
these charts so that I do not have to recreate the charts from scratch for
the purpose of displaying and printing within ReporBuilder?

Regards

Yes, and I actually prefer that method. Look at my historic posts with
'TChart' in them. I have included some code snippets as well.

Thanks Ed, found some good info, just a quickie (hopefully)

I notice you mentioned you prefer copying to WMF and then displaying WMF
instead, as opposed to copying contents of one chart to another. Why is
this your preference? Does it have any effect on multiple page printing of
wide graphs?

When I started I was not aware that one chart could be assigned to another.
The method has been successful enough that I have had no need to implement
it differently.


If you use the TppImage's OnPrint event (I have not done this way, all of my
charts only print once per report) I don't think there would be any issues.
Or maybe I don't understand your question.
