Setting print margins right

Hi

When a user hits print on my Chart form, I present a TPageSetupDialog allowing the user to select printer, paper, orientation and margins.
The margins returned from TPageSetupDialog are measured in 1/100 milimeters.
How do I translate that into Chart.PrintMargins (measured in pixels)

I use the approach of rescaling my chart before print to fit the printer dimensions and set PrintProportional := False.

Best regards

Søren

Hi Søren,

You can try using what Pep suggested here. You may also be interested reading the article I posted about printing.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you Narcís.

I decided to go for the Chart.TeeCreateMetafile(..) solution and position things myself.
