Exporting Chart Image

You can export a chart image by using the RenderTargetBitmap like in the following code:

Visual Basic	Copy Code
Dim bm As New RenderTargetBitmap(CInt(c1Chart1.ActualWidth), CInt(c1Chart1.ActualHeight), 96, 96, PixelFormats.[Default]) bm.Render(c1Chart1) Dim enc As New PngBitmapEncoder() enc.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(bm)) Dim fs As New FileStream("chart.png", FileMode.Create) enc.Save(fs)

Visual Basic

Copy Code

Dim bm As New RenderTargetBitmap(CInt(c1Chart1.ActualWidth), CInt(c1Chart1.ActualHeight), 96, 96, PixelFormats.[Default])
bm.Render(c1Chart1)

Dim enc As New PngBitmapEncoder()
enc.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(bm))

Dim fs As New FileStream("chart.png", FileMode.Create)
enc.Save(fs)

C#	Copy Code
RenderTargetBitmap bm = new RenderTargetBitmap( (int)c1Chart1.ActualWidth,(int)c1Chart1.ActualHeight, 96, 96, PixelFormats.Default); bm.Render(c1Chart1); PngBitmapEncoder enc = new PngBitmapEncoder(); enc.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(bm)); FileStream fs = new FileStream("chart.png", FileMode.Create); enc.Save(fs);

Copy Code

RenderTargetBitmap bm = new RenderTargetBitmap(
      (int)c1Chart1.ActualWidth,(int)c1Chart1.ActualHeight,
        96, 96, PixelFormats.Default);
bm.Render(c1Chart1);

PngBitmapEncoder enc = new PngBitmapEncoder();
enc.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(bm));

FileStream fs = new FileStream("chart.png", FileMode.Create);
enc.Save(fs);
