Dashboard not printing correctly.

Post by OSNick » Tue Aug 23, 2016 3:59 pm

I'm using D2007 with TeeChart Pro v2016.18 .160504 32bit VCL. Running on Windows 10.

I have created a Tdashboard form with a ChartPreviewer connected and a print button that just does ChartPreviewer1.Execute;

The chart looks fine in the previewer but when I print it renders the dashboard into a small square top left of the paper.

Is there a fix for this please?

Hello,

Using a virtual pdf printer I get this result with TeeChart v2016.18 that seems to be what you are reporting:

However, with the current sources I get this:

Which is not perfect because the gradients aren't supported in the export to pdf, but it works much better.

So the next maintenance release should fix this issue.

Hello Nick,

Since you are a source code customer I can send you the affected units so you can extract them to your "Sources" folder overriding the v2016.18 units and rebuild the packages with TeeRecompile.
I'll send you a mail with the patch.

Thank you - the dashboard charts now print correctly BUT there are no titles either for the charts or the dashboard.

Hello,

I see your titles use a white font. Note the printing routine sets a white background. So try changing your font color.
