Hi Nicholas,

Here is how you could do it:

Code: Select all

        private void InitializeChart()
        {            
            int MyWidth = 400;
            int MyHeight = 300;
            
            tChart1 = new Steema.TeeChart.TChart();
            this.Controls.Add(tChart1);
            tChart1.Top = 100;
            tChart1.Width = MyWidth;
            tChart1.Height = MyHeight;
            new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Line(tChart1.Chart);
            tChart1[0].FillSampleValues();

            tChart2 = new Steema.TeeChart.TChart();
            this.Controls.Add(tChart2);
            tChart2.Left = MyWidth;
            tChart2.Top = 100;
            tChart2.Width = MyWidth;
            tChart2.Height = MyHeight;
            new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Line(tChart2.Chart);
            tChart2[0].FillSampleValues();
            
            System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument document = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument();
            document.PrintController = new System.Drawing.Printing.StandardPrintController();
            document.PrintPage += new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventHandler(document_PrintPage);

            tChart1.Draw();
            tChart2.Draw();

            document.Print();
        }

        void document_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
        {
            Rectangle r1 = new Rectangle(0, 0, tChart1.Chart.Width, tChart1.Chart.Height);
            Rectangle r2 = new Rectangle(0, tChart1.Chart.Height, tChart2.Chart.Width, tChart2.Chart.Height);

            System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile m = tChart1.Chart.Metafile(tChart1.Chart, r1.Width, r1.Height);
            System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile m2 = tChart1.Chart.Metafile(tChart2.Chart, r2.Width, r2.Height);

            e.Graphics.DrawImage(m, r1, tChart1.Chart.ChartBounds, GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
            e.Graphics.DrawImage(m2, r2, tChart2.Chart.ChartBounds, GraphicsUnit.Pixel);

            Font myFont = new Font("Arial", 15, FontStyle.Bold);                        
            e.Graphics.DrawString("My charts", myFont, Brushes.Black, 20, tChart1.Chart.Height + tChart2.Chart.Height + 10);
        }

Hi Yeray,

Thank you. How about print preview? From print preview, there is a print button. Once i click on print button, it will print without my topic. How can i do that?

Hi Nicholas,

You could try something like this.

I also strongly recommend you to read Tutorial14 - Printing Charts, specially the Print previewing several Charts on one page and Mixing printed Chart output with other print output sections. You'll find the tutorials at TeeChart's program group.

Hope this helps!
