export to metafile/printing

Hi guys,

my requirements are that I deliver a chart that takes up a certain space in mm e.g. when inserting it in Word or when saving it as WMF. Yes, I know WMF I can drag as I want, it is vector-oriented. However, my problem is that the axes etc. are supposed to be drawn as if the chart would have been drawn on that size with those proportions.

How would I e.g. print a chart that takes up 3/4 of a page that is in the printer and add a custom header gfx? I know the approach to overwrite the "AfterDraw" event of the PreviewPanel from the samples, but I have a chart with series on screen already and want to print it.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks. That all was very helpful. The key is to use the CreateMetafile stuff with Rect to get the result I desire.
