Hello !

Someone can advise me to tell me how i can fill a ScatterLineChart without animation ? I don't find how to do !

All the examples are with animation, and i don't need animation my goal is to print the chart.

Other question, in wich control should i put my chart to print it correctly ? Page ? Canvas ?

Thank you so much to ask me.

Stéphanie

Stéphanie,

If you want to use chart just for printing, the chart has to be created using C# or VB code:

XAML:

<Grid Name="Test" Visibility="Hidden" />

C#:

using Infragistics.Windows.Chart;
XamChart chart = new XamChart();void NormalPrintOnClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs args)
{

chart.Width = 400;

chart.Height= 400;

chart.Series.Add(new Series());chart.Series[0].ChartType = ChartType.ScatterLine;
AddPoint(chart.Series[0], 5, 115);

AddPoint(chart.Series[0], 7, 123);

AddPoint(chart.Series[0], 15, 198);

AddPoint(chart.Series[0], 16, 150);

this.Test.Children.Add(chart);

PrintDialog printDlg = new PrintDialog();
printDlg.ShowDialog();
printDlg.PrintVisual(chart, "Printing");
}

private void AddPoint(Series series, double x, double y)
{
DataPoint point = new DataPoint();
point.ChartParameters.Add(ChartParameterType.ValueX, x);
point.ChartParameters.Add(ChartParameterType.ValueY, y);
series.DataPoints.Add(point);

}

Thanks,

Hello !
Thank you so much for your help, it was very helpfully !
I have an other question, always in the subject "Print".
Is it possible to print a chart without rendering it ? I don't need to see it before my printing ! Until now we succeed to print a chart only if we render it !
Thank you !

Hello Stéphanie,

Thank you for using Infragistics WPF Chart. This is the sample which shows how to use Scatter line chart without animation:

<igCA:XamChart Name="ScatterLineChart3D" View3D="False" >
      
      <igCA:XamChart.Series>
        <igCA:Series Stroke="Black" ChartType="ScatterLine">
          <igCA:Series.DataPoints>
            <igCA:DataPoint>
              <igCA:DataPoint.ChartParameters>
                <igCA:ChartParameter Type="ValueX" Value="2/5/63"/>
                <igCA:ChartParameter Type="ValueY" Value="8"/>
               </igCA:DataPoint.ChartParameters>
            </igCA:DataPoint>
            <igCA:DataPoint>
              <igCA:DataPoint.ChartParameters>
                <igCA:ChartParameter Type="ValueX" Value="2/6/63"/>
                <igCA:ChartParameter Type="ValueY" Value="3"/>
                <igCA:ChartParameter Type="ValueZ" Value="10"/>
              </igCA:DataPoint.ChartParameters>
            </igCA:DataPoint>
            <igCA:DataPoint>
              <igCA:DataPoint.ChartParameters>
                <igCA:ChartParameter Type="ValueX" Value="2/7/63"/>
                <igCA:ChartParameter Type="ValueY" Value="9"/>
               </igCA:DataPoint.ChartParameters>
            </igCA:DataPoint>
            <igCA:DataPoint>
              <igCA:DataPoint.ChartParameters>
                <igCA:ChartParameter Type="ValueX" Value="2/10/63"/>
                <igCA:ChartParameter Type="ValueY" Value="6"/>
               </igCA:DataPoint.ChartParameters>
            </igCA:DataPoint>
            <igCA:DataPoint>
              <igCA:DataPoint.ChartParameters>
                <igCA:ChartParameter Type="ValueX" Value="2/11/63"/>
                <igCA:ChartParameter Type="ValueY" Value="7"/>
              </igCA:DataPoint.ChartParameters>
            </igCA:DataPoint>
            <igCA:DataPoint>
              <igCA:DataPoint.ChartParameters>
                <igCA:ChartParameter Type="ValueX" Value="2/11/63"/>
                <igCA:ChartParameter Type="ValueY" Value="3"/>
               </igCA:DataPoint.ChartParameters>
            </igCA:DataPoint>
          </igCA:Series.DataPoints>

        </igCA:Series>
      </igCA:XamChart.Series>
    </igCA:XamChart>

If you want to use printing there are to ways: Normal printing and Hi-res printing. Before we use printing lets first create a chart in xaml:
<igCA:XamChart Name="chart3d" Width="400" Height="400" View3D="True">
<igCA:XamChart.Series>
<igCA:Series ChartType="Pie">
<igCA:Series.DataPoints>
<igCA:DataPoint Value="4"/>
<igCA:DataPoint Value="7"/>
<igCA:DataPoint Value="8"/>
<igCA:DataPoint Value="3"/>
</igCA:Series.DataPoints>
<igCA:Series.Marker>
<igCA:Marker Fill="#FFCCC5C5" Foreground="#FFFBFBFB"/>
</igCA:Series.Marker>
</igCA:Series>
</igCA:XamChart.Series>
<igCA:XamChart.Transform3D>
<Transform3DGroup>
<TranslateTransform3D OffsetX="0" OffsetY="0" OffsetZ="0"/>
<ScaleTransform3D ScaleX="1" ScaleY="1" ScaleZ="1"/>
<RotateTransform3D >
<RotateTransform3D.Rotation>
<AxisAngleRotation3D Angle="27" Axis="-0.879,0.469,-0.082"/>
</RotateTransform3D.Rotation>
</RotateTransform3D>
<TranslateTransform3D OffsetX="0" OffsetY="0" OffsetZ="0"/>
<TranslateTransform3D OffsetX="0" OffsetY="0" OffsetZ="0"/>
</Transform3DGroup>
</igCA:XamChart.Transform3D>
</igCA:XamChart>

1. For normal printing you need this code:

PrintDialog printDlg = new PrintDialog();
printDlg.ShowDialog();

printDlg.PrintVisual(chart3d, "Printing");

2. This is a sample for hi-res printing:
Rect printRect = new Rect(0, 0, 500, 500);
int width = (int)(500.0 / 96.0 * printRect.Width);
int height = (int)(500.0 / 96.0 * printRect.Width);RenderTargetBitmap bitmap = new RenderTargetBitmap(width, height, 500, 500, PixelFormats.Default);
bitmap.Render(chart3d);

Image printImage = new Image();
PrintDialog printDlg = new PrintDialog();
printDlg.ShowDialog();
printImage.Measure(new Size(printDlg.PrintableAreaWidth, printDlg.PrintableAreaHeight));
printImage.Source = bitmap;
printImage.Stretch = Stretch.None;
printImage.Arrange(new Rect(new Point(0, 0), printImage.DesiredSize));
printDlg.PrintVisual(printImage, "Printing");
