Printing in Chart

[Sammy Desir]

Issue #1
When printing or previewing a chart, the series are always WHITE, even if in the form they show different colors.

Issue #2
When setting the series color through the following line:
series.Style.Interior = new BrushInfo(Color.Red);

Upon printing or previewing, the system generate unrecoverable error.

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in Essential Chart.

Essential Chart checks the PrinterSettings and changes the color scheme of the printed chart to have shades and designs instead of different colors if the printer currently selected does not support color. This is the reason for changing the series color in Print and Print preview. I will put in a feature request to be able to turn off this feature.

I tested with the latest version and the problem with the series.Style.Interior = new BrushInfo(Color.Red); is not occurring. I will send you a patch build with these changes at the earliest.

Thanks,

Davis

Hi,

The patch will be ready within the next hour. I will post a link to download it as soon as it is available.

There is a PrintColorMode (in the patch version) on the ChartControl that needs to be set to Color to print in Color.

Thanks,

Davis

Thanks a lot for your help. Printing seems to be working now. One note for others having this problem...you have to set:
myChart.PrintColorMode = ChartPrintColorMode.Color

in order for the series to appear in grayscale print jobs.

It seems that the descriptions of the modes in the patch are backwards....but it works..so thanks a lot!
