GetStream() returns empty image

[Simon]

The GetStream() method returns an image with only the legend showing when the chart has EnableAnimation = true set.

This workaround works fine tho:

            Chart.Series[0].EnableAnimation = false;

            Stream stream = Chart.GetStream();

            Chart.Series[0].EnableAnimation = true;

I think this should get fixed.

Hi Simon,

Thanks for using Syncfusion Products.

We would like to inform you that it is an expected behavior in SfChart and while animating, the animated segment alone will be saved and the chart is exported from animated segment.

For Exporting Chart, we suggest you use the SaveAsImage() in SfChart to save the image.

Please let us know, if you need further assistance on this.

Hi, thanks for your response.

Using SaveAsImage() was my first approach, but i had problems getting access to the file on iOS. The documentation said:

"iOS – The image will be saved inside the “Photos/Album” directory."

but i didn't find a way to access this file.

Additionally the image file was just another step to load the image into a MemoryStream and draw it into a pdf. So the GetStream() approach seemed more convenient.

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the update.

Regarding “GetStream() method returns an image with only the legend showing when the chart has EnableAnimation = true”

We will check this internally and as of now you can overcome this using the below code snippet as per your previous update.
 

  

            Chart.Series[0].EnableAnimation = false; 

            Stream stream = Chart.GetStream(); 

            Chart.Series[0].EnableAnimation = true;
