Color band in PDF export

[Raymond]

Hi,

I have color band on my chart. However, when I export to PDF, the color band does not get drawn. Is there a workaround?

Hi Raymond,

There is a bug already in the wish list that says that the patterns for this tool aren't exported fine to pdf (TV52011702). The colorband is drawn but in white. Is that what you mean?

Hi,
Yea, I suppose the color band is not being drawn at all because if I change the backwall color, the export shows the backwall color.

Hi Raymond,

Are you using the v8.0.0.7 that is the latest version available? Here the following code gives the same result: A ColorBand in white.

Code: Select all

Private Sub Form_Load()
  TChart1.Aspect.View3D = False

  TChart1.AddSeries scPoint
  TChart1.Series(0).FillSampleValues 25
  
  TChart1.Tools.Add tcColorband
  TChart1.Tools.Items(0).asColorband.Axis = TChart1.Axis.Bottom
  TChart1.Tools.Items(0).asColorband.StartValue = 10
  TChart1.Tools.Items(0).asColorband.EndValue = 15
  
  TChart1.Export.asPDF.SaveToFile "C:\tmp\ColorBand.pdf"
  
  TChart1.Tools.Items(0).asColorband.Brush.Style = bsBDiagonal
  
  TChart1.Export.asPDF.SaveToFile "C:\tmp\ColorBandBrush.pdf"
End Sub
