Image Creator

Post by dpatch » Tue Jul 03, 2007 7:48 pm

Your image creator works great. However, it looks like it can only create AVI files. These files are very big.

Is there a way to create other file types like MPEG, MPEG2 or WMV files?

Thanks in advance

Hi dpatch,

Not for now but you can use the compression features included with this tool. Please have a look at the compression properties and the tool editor at the chart editor.

Yes I looked at the compression. Still seconds of AVI turns into 7+ megs of file. A windows or MPEG is a few hundred K.

Are you planning to add additional formats?

Thanks

Hi,

I've added this on our wish list to be considered for further TeeChart Pro releases.

Also, is there a way to capture the whole window the chart is displayed in? I write other information on the status bar which is relevent to the video created.

It would be great if we could capture the entire window.

Another question...When I add a crosshair cursor to the chart, why doesn't the image creator capture/record the cursor. This too is relevent in the avi. The x and y values from the cursor are being displayed on the status bar (see last post).

The easiest way would be that you displayed that information in the chart's title, using custom text drawing or using annotation tools. Then just record the video.

I've added your request to our wish-list to be considered for inclusion in future releases.
