DPI and TeeCreateBitmap

Post by Test Always » Tue Apr 11, 2017 12:03 am

I use TChart.TeeCreateBitmap to create bitmaps for reports, but I sure would like to have more DPI when I do as the print outs do not look as good as my mock ups I create from Excel. (I need bitmaps as WMF does not render the transparent items properly).

Is there anyway to control the DPI when printing? (I tried changing the aDPI setting of the call, which I do not have any documentation for, but it didn't appear to change the quality of the printout).

Hello Ed,

I'd suggest you to read the "printing better" article here.

This article talks about printing to the printer and specifically working with WMF/EMF images.

I create a BMP that I put in a (ReportBuilder) report image. I need higher DPI settings, which I didn't see in the article. (I did read it twice, and searched for DPI after reading it. Am I embarrassing myself by missing it?

Hello Ed,

You can't control the DPIs directly, but you can create a bigger bitmap to have a bigger resolution.
