SaveToFile method

[itz_me_cheyi]

Hi there,

I need to save the chart as image file and i have done this by calling SaveToFile method on the chart. But, sometimes this method returns false value and no image rendered. Could you please tell me what condition will make the image not rendered?

Thank you,

Syarli

Hi Syarli,

Which image extension are you using? Note that emf, wmf and svg are only available in ViewXY, not in Polar or 3D views.

Also if you could tell more specifications of your system: graphics adapter type, Windows version.

Hi,

I am trying to export the ViewXY chart as .JPG file. I am using Intel(R) HD Graphics and Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

Is there any problem with my environment?

We tested with similar system. Worked perfectly.

Only cases where we could reproduce the problem are the following:
- You are using an existing file name
- You are calling SaveToFile from a background thread, and forgot to use Dispatcher.Invoke to synchronize the background thread method call in UI thread.

We have found the cause.
We use background thread to load the graph and the image is not rendered because the graph has not been loaded completely.

Thank you for your help.
