Hello,

If I have created a Chart and used the CopyToClipboardMetaFile(True) procedure, after that I paste it into for example powerpoint. When I look at the picture in the preview the for example label text is sometimes "skewed" in some direction, even if the width and the Height is the same as it was before i copied it. Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this problem?

Best Regards,

Johan Ingemansson

Hi.

Strange problem. Teechart doesn't do anything special with metafile so if this turns out to be a bug, it's mostl likely buried somewhere in Delphi canvas/metafile implementation. Is the problem platform specific (XP, W2k, W2003) ? Also, it's application specific (meaning does it only happen with some applications) ?

Hi,

It seems that it only happens with PowerPoint when you look in the slide show, but if I increase the font size from 8 to example 10 the problem disappears! This is good enought for me so problem solved!
