How can I save my Diagram as a bitmap?
The following code sample shows how you can export your diagram as an image such as a bitmap:
[C#]
// Cache the view's current origin and size PointF vieworigin = this.diagram1.View.Origin; Size viewsize = this.diagram1.View.Size;
// Set the view''s origin and size to // encompass the whole diagram this.diagram1.View.Origin = new PointF(0, 0); this.diagram1.View.Size = new Size((int)this.diagram1.Model.Width, (int)this.diagram1.Model.Height);
// Create a Bitmap equal to the model // dimensions and create a Graphics object // from the image Bitmap diagramimage = new Bitmap((int)this.diagram1.Model.Width, (int)this.diagram1.Model.Height); Graphics bmpgrfx = Graphics.FromImage(diagramimage);
// Draw the Diagram.View''s contents onto // the Image Graphics object this.diagram1.View.Draw(bmpgrfx); bmpgrfx.Dispose();
// The diagramimage is now a full rendering // of the Diagram contents and can be used // in any format diagramimage.Save("C:\\mydiagram.bmp", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp);
// Restore the View''s origin and size this.diagram1.View.Origin = vieworigin; this.diagram1.View.Size = viewsize;
[VB.NET]
' Cache the view's current origin and size Dim vieworigin As PointF = Me.diagram1.View.Origin Dim viewsize As Size = Me.diagram1.View.Size ' Set the view''s origin and size to ' encompass the whole diagram Me.diagram1.View.Origin = New PointF(0, 0) Me.diagram1.View.Size = New Size(CType(Me.diagram1.Model.Width, CType(Me.diagram1.Model.Height, int, Integer))) ' Create a Bitmap equal to the model ' dimensions and create a Graphics object ' from the image Dim diagramimage As Bitmap = New Bitmap(CType(Me.diagram1.Model.Width,CType(Me.diagram1.Model.Height, int, Integer))) Dim bmpgrfx As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(diagramimage) ' Draw the Diagram.View''s contents onto ' the Image Graphics object Me.diagram1.View.Draw(bmpgrfx) bmpgrfx.Dispose() ' The diagramimage is now a full rendering ' of the Diagram contents and can be used ' in any format diagramimage.Save("C:\\mydiagram.bmp", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp) ' Restore the View''s origin and size Me.diagram1.View.Origin = vieworigin Me.diagram1.View.Size = viewsize
