Very bad quality of metafiles copied to clipboard ?

Hi,

with following code I copied the metafile:

Code: Select all

       ActChildForm.Chart1.Export.Image.Metafile.EMFFormat = System.Drawing.Imaging.EmfType.EmfPlusOnly
       ActChildForm.Chart1.Export.Image.Metafile.CopyToClipboard()
This is Figure 1 in the attached document (emf.doc in the emf.zip)

Figure 2 looks OK and is the png-Export of the same chart (or the chart exported as metafile to file and then loaded into Word).

Interestingly, the chart editor does not allow "copy" for metafile export.

What is the reason for the bad quality?

Regards

Uli

Hello Uli,

We have seen your example image and we have noticed that text quality is the most significant difference between image exported in Metafile format and png format. Metafile is a vector format and may treat text differently. We don't think we can offer you a solution for it in the near term.

Thanks,
