Company's name/ Logo in the bottom of each printed page

[elektra]

- We have decided to buy ChartFX7 in the next few days and the company's name and logo in the bottom of each page are required, when the chart is printed.That's why I tried the following Code :

void chart1_InternalCommand(object sender, ChartFX.WinForms.CommandUIEventArgs e) {   if (e.CommandId == chart1.Commands[CommandId.PrintDialog].ID) {

  PrintDocument printDoc = new PrintDocument();  

  printDoc.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(pd_PrintPage);

  chart1.Printer.Document = printDoc;

  chart1.Printer.ForceColors = true;

  chart1.Printer.Compress = true;   }   }

 

  void pd_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e) {     e.Graphics.DrawString("Company's name", new Font("Arial", 14, FontStyle.Bold), Brushes.Black, 25, 25, StringFormat.GenericTypographic);   chart1.Paint(e.Graphics, new Rectangle(0,  0, e.MarginBounds.Width, e.MarginBounds.Height), PaintStyles.Print);   }

 

=> Result: I had the following problems:

1) It take a lot of time until the chart is printed

2) the chart is printed, but It looks very strange, HUGE MARKERS, WRONG DATETIME FORMAT, a little bit LEFT ALIGNED

=> I want to have the same default-printed View but with a Company's name and Logo

CAN ANY ONE HELP ME?

thx in advance

Hi, please check and test this code. Let me know if this helped.

 

  public partial class Form1 : Form
  {
  private MemoryStream chartStream;

  public Form1()
  {
  InitializeComponent();
  }

  /// <summary>
  /// Export Chart to a desired DPI resolution.
  /// </summary>
  /// <param name="dpi"></param>
  private void ChartToStream(int dpi)
  {
  // where the chart will be saved.
  chartStream = new MemoryStream();

  // GDI Container for the chart.
  Rectangle r = new Rectangle(0, 0, (chart1.Width * dpi) / 96, (chart1.Height * dpi) / 96); // 96 is the screen resolution
  Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(r.Width, r.Height);

  // Set resolution and initialize graphics object.
  bmp.SetResolution(dpi, dpi);
  Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);

  chart1.Paint(g, r, PaintStyles.Background | PaintStyles.Border | PaintStyles.Print);
  bmp.Save(chartStream, ImageFormat.Jpeg); // Can also use PNG

  // Release resouces.
  g.Dispose();
  bmp.Dispose();
  }

  private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
  ChartToStream(96); //96 DPI

  PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
  pd.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(pd_PrintPage);
  pd.Print();
  }

  void pd_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
  {
  // Include generated image.
  e.Graphics.DrawImage(Image.FromStream(chartStream), e.MarginBounds.Left, e.MarginBounds.Top);
  }
  }

I have realized it with this code, it works:

void chart1_InternalCommand(object sender,ChartFX.WinForms.CommandUIEventArgs e) {   if (e.CommandId == chart1.Commands[CommandId.PrintDialog].ID) {   chart1.Printer.Document.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(pd_PrintPage);  

  chart1.Printer.Margins.Top = 100; // Place where th logo will be printed  

  chart1.Printer.ForceColors = true;  

chart1.Printer.Compress = true;   }   }

void pd_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e) {     e.Graphics.DrawImage( Image.FromFile("logo.bmp"), new Point(e.PageBounds.X , e.PageBounds.Y));   return;}

 

Thank you for the reply we have already ordered ChartFX.
