<Chart>.SaveWMF (Function)

In french: <Graphe>.SauveWMF

Saves a chart that was drawn beforehand in WMF format.

Example

// Saves the chart named CHART_MyChart in the "C:\Charts\Chart.WMF" file
CHART_MyChart.SaveWMF("C:\Charts\Chart.WMF")

Syntax

<Result> = <Chart control>.SaveWMF(<WMF file name>)

<Result>: Boolean

True if the chart was saved,
False otherwise.

<Chart control>: Control name

Name of the Chart control to use (found in the window editor, page editor or report editor).

<WMF file name>: Character string (with quotes)

Name and full path of the WMF file to create. The file extension is mandatory. This WMF file is created when <Chart>.SaveWMF is called. The file is overwritten and re-created if it already existed.

Remarks

Saving a chart

To save a chart, the chart must have been drawn beforehand (<Chart>.Draw). The modifications performed since the last call to <Chart>.Draw will be ignored.
The default size of the image is set to 639 x 479. These dimensions are taken into account if the chart was never drawn or if it is not visible.

Backup in WMF format

This file can be read by a tool that recognizes WMF format.
The size of the file is identical to the size of the destination (size of window size, control or file).
We recommend that you preview the chart before it is saved in a file.

Differences between grDestinationWMF and <Chart>.SaveWMF

grDestinationWMF is used to define the destination for the next drawing of the chart. When using <Chart>.Draw, the chart will be drawn in the specified file and all the modifications performed since the last chart drawing will be taken into account.
<Chart>.SaveWMF is used to save the chart in a file in WMF format. The image saved corresponds to the chart during the last call to <Chart>.Draw. The modifications performed on the chart since the last call to <Chart>.Draw will be ignored.
