IExAnalyzerExporter.ExportChartAsImage

Syntax

ExportChartAsImage: Boolean;

Description

The ExportChartAsImage property determines parameters of chart export when it is exported to XLS (*.xls) files.

Comments

Available values:

True. Default value. The chart will be exported as an EMF image, one can work with this chart using Microsoft Excel tools.
False. The chart is exported as an object, and it is possible to work with this chart using Microsoft Excel tools. If the table used as the chart data source is hidden in the report while the chart is displayed, the sheet showing data table is hidden in the export file.

When exporting from the series mode of the time series database, the chart that is built for calculated series is exported as an image. These series include:

Series calculated using modeling methods (smoothing, forecast, regression).
Overlapped series.
Series calculated using aggregation methods.

Charts for all other series are exported in accordance with the value of the ExportChartAsImage property.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains an express report with the EXPRESS_REPORT identifier.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    Expr: IEaxAnalyzer;
    ExpExspr: IExAnalyzerExporter;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    Expr := MB.ItemById("EXPRESS_REPORT").Bind As IEaxAnalyzer;
    ExpExspr := New ExAnalyzerExporter.Create;
    ExpExspr.ExAnalyzer := Expr;
    ExpExspr.ExportChartAsImage := False;
    Expr.Grid.Refresh;
    ExpExspr.ExportToFile("C:\Analazer.XLS", "XLS");
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example the express report is exported to the C:\Analazer.XLS file. The chart is exported as a chart and not as an image.
