thanks very much for the reply.

Question can this be used with sections?

Currently I have; Dim section1 As ISection = report.AddSection()

then I add a Header and Footer section and set the page number section

I export a wingrid to Section 1 using the griddocexporter.

Then for the charts I do;

Dim canvas As ICanvas = section1.AddCanvas
canvas.Width = New FixedWidth(2000)
canvas.Height = New FixedHeight(500)
Dim g As Drawing.Graphics = canvas.CreateGraphics()
uwCht_HidChartView.RenderPdfFriendlyGraphics(g)

and the 2nd chart gets:

Dim canvas2 As ICanvas = section1.AddCanvas
canvas2.Width = New FixedWidth(2000)
canvas2.Height = New FixedHeight(500)
Dim g2 As Drawing.Graphics = canvas2.CreateGraphics()
uwCht_HidChartView.RenderPdfFriendlyGraphics(g2)

Guess how does that page object work with the sections?

I may have come at this from wrong direction and missed something.

Hi!

Hello Deasun,

Try this version of the sample. I've marked all my changes with //TODO: CDS so you can quickly find the changes in the Task window. There are quite a few changes, but the main one regarding the stretching of the grid was due to the exported size of the grid being smaller than the default TargetPageSize of the exporter. As such, the method that attempts to figure out the grid's Size was returning the wrong value.

Figuring out the size of the charts was a bit of a task. The easy part was to make sure the width was being calculated based on the proper extent (ie. the Height when using landscape mode). The harder part dealt with determining the proper height for the chart. There is no way to know the exported grid height, so the sample had to estimate it based on the number of rows and their height.

Finally, the positioning of the chart area within each chart can be controlled using the Extent property on each Axis.

Hope this helps.

Another quick ?

On the Chart control, there appears to be a lot of space between the barchart and the legend at the bottom.

Anyway to decrease that spacing? Would like to increase the size of the barchart itself and leave the legend at the size its at.

Thanks

Heres the PDF results docs!

Morning,

I rewrote the example project.
Too many edits wanted a clean version.
In this version I am supplying 4 pages.
2 with 2 charts and 2 with 3 charts on it.
Each having 1 grid.

I have also changed the DB table values to show what happens with different
values in the last two pages grids.

I am also including 2 PDFs.
1 with the outcome using just your code. InfragisticsCode_exampleresults_RunBy_THRUD.pdf
And the other with code changes I made. MyCode_exampleresults_RunBy_THRUD.pdf

Maybe I missed something in all the edits but the grid on the pages of the PDF
using the, .Width = Basic_GetExportSize(uwGrid_HiddenObj),
doesn't seem to have expanded to the page margins.

In my code example I am finding the Max cell width and then adding a figure
I calculated by hitnmiss reviewing the reports. Not something I want to do!
You will also see on the last 2 pages that this value has to change because of the data in the cells/grid.

I need a much better way to keep the grids margin to margin on each page no matter the values in the girds.

Also Have a question on the Chart, Is it possible to center or left/right justify the actual
chart part between the chart controls borders?
Mgt would like it in the center.

Thanks
Deasun
