How to export/import chart properties only

sungard · Post by **sungard** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 8:29 pm

Is there any way to export / import only the chart properties excluding series values?

I want to save only the design information and draw a chart with the same design with different series data values later.

Thanks

Hi sungard,

Yes, this is possible. You can export TeeChart to a native template file (.tee) or a memory stream as told in Tutorial 12 - Exporting and Importing Charts. When exporting a TeeChart template you can choose whether you want to include series data on it or not.

Thanks for the reply.
By the way, I'm using the 'TeeChartPro v6 ActiveX Control', and the tutorial doesn't seem to have the information.

It has the information about how to export/import 'Tee' files, but doesn't have information how to exclude the series data.

Is this supported in v6 or above?

Thanks again

Hi sungard,

Yes, this is supported in v6 and method's help file description is this:

procedure SaveToFile(Const FileName: WideString; IncludeData: WordBool);

Description
This method will save the current chart as a native TeeChart 'tee' template to the specified File Name. Use the IncludeData boolean property to include or exclude data from the tee file.
