WinChart™ can now be exported to Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) and XML Paper Specification (XPS) file formats using the Infragistics Document Export Engine. All you have to do is create a Report using the DOM of the Infragistics.Documents.Reports class library, then call the new RenderPdfFriendlyGraphics method which renders the scene graph of your chart to this Graphics context object.
An overload of the RenderPdfFriendlyGraphics method is also available which accepts a System.Drawing.Graphics.object as well as a pixel width and height. If your chart’s dimensions are too large to fit into a PDF document’s canvas, then the rendered image will be scaled down based on the specified size to chart size ratio.
You have to create the Report manually because the chart does not automatically include the Infragistics.Documents.Reports assembly, which is required for exporting to PDF/XPS files. You only need to include a reference to the Infragistics4.Documents.Reports.v23.2.dll in your application when you actually need to use this feature.
Transparency and gradient paths are currently not supported in charts exported to PDF or XPS. Linear and radial gradients will be used where appropriate.
