Printing from FrameChart

The FrameChart class, used to build most of the examples in this manual, includes a print option under the file menu. This option prints the chart as large as possible, without distortion, and centered on the page.

Printable Interface

Class Chart implements the .NET PrintPage interface, which is used to print a single page. It is implemented by the class Chart. The following code fragment shows how to print a chart using its PrinterDocument class and its PrinterPage event.

public void Print() {
      PrintDocument printJob = new PrintDocument();
      printJob.PrintPage +=
          new PrintPageEventHandler(Chart.PrintGraphics);
      PrintDialog printDialog = new PrintDialog();
      if (printDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) {
          printJob.Print()
      }
}
