In the attached demo, the image created from the has a slight bevel/shadow line on the bottom and left of the chart:
This did not occur in the previous version.
One thing we have done in code to create the image is to use a TTeeCanvas3D (verses the TGDIPlusCanvas). The WMF images created from the GDI Plus canvas created significant problems with our report engine.

Re: Image crated from a TChart Shows Line on Bottom and Left
Hello Ed,
If I comment out this line at the beginning of your AssignChartToGraphic procedure:
And I add this line inside the loop in the same procedure:
Both issues disappear, isn't it?
If I comment out this line at the beginning of your AssignChartToGraphic procedure:
Code: Select all
//aChart.Canvas := TTeeCanvas3D.Create;
Code: Select all
TPieSeries(aChart.Series[I]).Shadow.Visible:=false;

Re: Image crated from a TChart Shows Line on Bottom and Left
But like I said at the bottom of the original post, if I use the default canvas (TGDIPlusCanvas), the images typically[1] do not show up in my report engine (ReportBuilder) when I save to a PDF. So that is not an option--I have to use the TTeeCanvas3D.
[1] It is a very strange problem. I spent hours trying to produce a demo for Digital Metaphors to work with but could not get it to occur. It is better than it was a month ago, but no charts showing up isn't a good problem.

Hello Ed,
I've found an alternative workaround to hide the bevel. You can set this at your Create override:TestAlways wrote:But like I said at the bottom of the original post, if I use the default canvas (TGDIPlusCanvas), the images typically[1] do not show up in my report engine (ReportBuilder) when I save to a PDF.

Thank you. I will try it.
Note that this problem did not occur in previous versions of TChart.

Re: Image crated from a TChart Shows Line on Bottom and Left
We use the charts in our reports, and the reports may have a water mark. Setting the color to clWhite hides the watermark. So while this solution fixes the problem, it creates another.
Is this something that will be fixed soon?
Thank you for your responsiveness.
