Whats the easiest way of creating a watermark on the chart such that it will be visible when using UltraChart1.CopyToClipboard()?
It would be good if I could get it to match the example provided in the thread... http://community.infragistics.com/forums/p/28501/119654.aspx#119654
Thanks
easiest way:
BoxAnnotation anno = new BoxAnnotation(); anno.TextStyle.FontColor = Color.Black; anno.Text = "SEAL OF APPROVAL"; anno.TextStyle.Font = new Font("Arial", 30f, FontStyle.Bold); anno.TextStyle.HorizontalAlign = StringAlignment.Near; anno.TextStyle.VerticalAlign = StringAlignment.Near; anno.Location.Type = LocationType.Percentage; anno.Location.LocationX = anno.Location.LocationY = 50; anno.PE.StrokeOpacity = 0; ch.Annotations.Add(anno);
best way:
void ch_FillSceneGraph(object sender, FillSceneGraphEventArgs e) { Rectangle bounds = e.ChartCore.GetBorderLayer().OuterBound; Path pathPrimitive = new Path(); pathPrimitive.GraphicsPath = new GraphicsPath(); string textString = "SEAL OF APPROVAL"; pathPrimitive.GraphicsPath.AddString(textString, new FontFamily("Arial"), (int)FontStyle.Bold, 30f, new Point(0, 0), StringFormat.GenericDefault); pathPrimitive.PE.ElementType = PaintElementType.Hatch; pathPrimitive.PE.Hatch = FillHatchStyle.Sphere; pathPrimitive.PE.Fill = Color.Red; pathPrimitive.PE.FillStopOpacity = 0; SizeF pathSize = pathPrimitive.GraphicsPath.GetBounds().Size; GraphicsContext translate = new GraphicsContext(); translate.Transform = new Matrix(); translate.Transform.Translate(bounds.Left + bounds.Width / 2f - pathSize.Width / 2f, bounds.Top + bounds.Height / 2f - pathSize.Height / 2f); e.SceneGraph.Add(translate); e.SceneGraph.Add(pathPrimitive); translate = new GraphicsContext(); translate.ResetTransform = true; e.SceneGraph.Add(translate); }
best solution. really appriciated.
