| I have to create a chart that fills paper size 17 x 11 inches. I need to print the chart exactly the same as on the form. if the paper margin is 1 inch on each side. so the chart should be 15 inches in width and 9 inches in highth. I tried to create the same size form but I couldn't in VB .Net. Is there a way to do this? Thanks. |

We use the default PageSettings for initializing the printer. If this is not set to 11x17 there may be a problem getting 11 x 17 to print.
Try and use the following PageSetup method and call it instead of the PrinterSetup method in the ChartOfTheWeek01-14-04 demo. Set the 11x17 paper from the PageSetup dialog.
public void PageSetup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
ChartView chartVu = this;
if (chartVu != null)
{
if (printobj == null)
{
printobj = new ChartPrint(chartVu);
}
else
printobj.PrintChartView = chartVu;
PageSetupDialog pgSetupDlg = new PageSetupDialog();
pgSetupDlg.Document = printobj.PrintDoc;
pgSetupDlg.MinMargins = new Margins(25,25,25,25);
pgSetupDlg.PageSettings = printobj.PrintPageSettings;
pgSetupDlg.ShowDialog();
}
}

I tried on ChartOfTheWeek01-14-04. It doesn't work. Right now I can preview and print charts. The problem is that I can not control the size of the chart when preview or print. I tried to set nSizeMode to PRT_MAX, PRT_EXACT, and PRT_RECT but I could get right result. My purpouse is to preview or print chart just the size of paper size 8.5 x 11, 8.5 x 14, and 11 x 17 (inches). Please give me some ideas.
Meanwhile when I create small size chart on the form it looks find. The titles, lables and ticks are good. But when I make the
size of the form bigger then the font size, the line width, and tiltle location changed and looks ugly. For example the footer will overlap the X axis labels. The font size should be 8 but it looks like 16 and so on. I tried to first change the size of form bigger, then redraw the chart, however it still looks ugly. Is there a way to maintain the chart settings. I think if the plot size is bigger but the font size should keep the same whatever the plot size small or big.
Pleaes help. Thanks. |

| We could not reproduce the problem you describe. We have sent you our test program, the modified ChartOfTheWeek01-14-04 example program. |
