Hi,

Is there a way I can take an NChartControl and export it to a BitMap or any sort of image file?

Thank you,

Teddy

Hi Teddy,

Yes the both the WinForm and WebForms controls can be used to dynamically generate an image, without being added to a form. The following code shows how to create a simple bar chart and render it as 400x300 png image:

using Nevron.GraphicsCore;
using Nevron.Chart;
using Nevron.Chart.WinForm;

...

using (NChartControl chartControl = new NChartControl())
{
 // configure chart
 NChart chart = chartControl.Charts[0];

 NBarSeries bar = new NBarSeries();
 bar.Values.Add(10);
 bar.Values.Add(20);
 bar.Values.Add(30);

 chart.Series.Add(bar);
 
 chartControl.ImageExporter.SaveToFile("c:\\temp\\test.png", new NSize(400, 300), NResolution.ScreenResolution, new NPngImageFormat());
}

the control supports JPEG, PNG, BITMAP, TIFF, GIF, Flash, Silverlight and PDF output. You can also save images in memory streams - just use the SaveToStream method of the image exporter.

Hope this helps - questions or comments - please feel free...
