User (Legacy) Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 First I had an aliasing problem with ActiveReport. The Charts with Curved Lines looked ugly. But it occured not only with ActiveReport. Also the Export or when I embed OCX of ChartFX to another Applications do have the same effect. When I print the chart directly it looks perfect. But I need the Chart on a Report as an Image or an embeded OCX. I think, I've found a problem! At least when exporting to a Metafile. ChartFX is making to many nodes(points) concatenated with straight lines in the metafile! And this looks like an aliasing. I reduced the number of nodes with a graphic tool and set the lines to Curved Segment and then the chart looked alright in any resolution. Is it possible to reduce the number of points with ChartFX? And setting the line segments from straight to curved? Maybe setting the line segment to curved would be enought. I attached a sample metafile, produced with VB and ChartFX chartFx.Export CHART_METAFILE, "Sample.emf" Thanks a lot for ANY Help!

Software FX Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 For compatibility with all operating system, we don't use curve lines in our API. We do this in our new Chart FX for .NET version as it works with GDI+ which is guaranteed to be installed with the .NET framework. -- FP Software FX, Inc.

Software FX Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 Generating a very big picture (weather a bitmap or a metafile) and then scaling it down will result in a crisper image. -- FP Software FX, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
