I have at most ten of sciChart in an layout which populated by programming. I want to screenshot by programming that layout with each chart zoom or change view by user. However, the screenshot doesn’t show graphs rather than black rectangle. Is there any option to show graph on screenshot.

Hello, we are developing a finance application that contains sciChart. Our main chart and optionally RSI, MACD etc. There are indicators. I want the user to screenshot and share the graph and the indicators, but I’m having trouble doing this. Although I tried more than one way for this, I encountered different problems in all of them.
First of all, I take a screenshot with the createBitmap and Canvas method of the Layout where my graphics are located, but the graphic contents are not visible in the screenshot content.
As the second method, I tried the exportToBitmap method in sciChart, but here I only take a screenshot of 1 chart, I cannot take a screenshot of a graph + RSI + MACD at the same time. As another problem, the opening, closing, high, etc. of the parity on the chart. The texts containing the data are not visible in the screenshot.

Below I will share the screenshots I took with both the first method and the second method, the image on the phone at that moment, and the codes I used.
What I wanted to use was to take a screenshot of more than one graph and the data on it at the same time as in the first method. How can I do that?

Method 1

Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(view.getWidth(),
            view.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
    view.draw(canvas);

Method 2

surface.exportToBitmap()

Do you have any examples for printing and screenshots when using a multi-pane chart using a SciChartGroup? Our application uses multi-pane charts and needs to be able to print and create screen captures of these as a single unit.

Hello again. We have an application that has many tabs with scichart surface. Our goal is creating a report: screenshots of all scichart surfaces in tabs. But we found out, when scichartsurface was not active, all tick labels didn’t render on screenshots.
Here is our code snippet for creating screenshot:

double actualHeight = source.RenderSize.Height;
            double actualWidth = source.RenderSize.Width;
            double renderHeight = actualHeight * scale;
            double renderWidth = actualWidth * scale;

            RenderTargetBitmap renderTarget = new RenderTargetBitmap((int)renderWidth, (int)renderHeight, 96, 96, PixelFormats.Pbgra32);
            VisualBrush sourceBrush = new VisualBrush(source);
            DrawingVisual drawingVisual = new DrawingVisual();

            using (var drawingContext = drawingVisual.RenderOpen())
            {
                drawingContext.PushTransform(new ScaleTransform(scale, scale));
                drawingContext.DrawRectangle(sourceBrush, null, new Rect(new Point(0, 0), new Point(actualWidth, actualHeight)));
            }
            renderTarget.Render(drawingVisual);
            JpegBitmapEncoder jpgEncoder = new JpegBitmapEncoder();
            jpgEncoder.QualityLevel = quality;
            jpgEncoder.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(renderTarget));

            Byte[] _imageArray;
            using (MemoryStream outputStream = new MemoryStream())
            {
                jpgEncoder.Save(outputStream);
                _imageArray = outputStream.ToArray();
            }
            return _imageArray;

How can we fix it?

Thanks in advance

Is there a way to make a screenshot from a chart without drawing the chart on screen?

I am making an application that will send an E-mail with alot of extra info, one of the attachements is a chart.
The application is running in a Windows service, so showing the chart to take a screenshot is not the way to go.

When I am sending the email I want to take the following steps:

  1. Get the data
  2. Render the data in memory (not on screen).
  3. Create an image of the chart.
  4. Include this image in my E-mail.

Can someone tell me if this is a possibility and how I can do this?
