I have more than one chart in my UI, and they are on separate tabs. As soon as I call .ExportToBitmapSource() for one of the charts that is not shown (it’s tab is not selected) an exception is thrown… UIElement.Measure(availableSize) cannot be called with NaN size. Is there a way around this?

I saw yesterday in the documentation that it appears the product doesn’t support this. That would be a big bummer.

Hi Chris,

In WPF, when a tab is hidden, the View is actually garbage collected and destroyed – it no longer exists! So yes, we don’t support this…

SciChart however does have some mechanisms to export an image while off-screen. Again WPF doesn’t support this, so we had to do a high level of hacks and magic to make it happen. You can learn about the API to export off-screen here.

Export to BitmapSource at Specific Size

SciChart supports exporting to BitmapSource (in-memory bitmap) at a specific resolution and size….

There are also a number of caveats for exporting off-screen. We have to take a clone or copy of the entire chart in memory to achieve it. Sometimes things like styling is lost. You can read about caveats here.

Best regards,
Andrew

    Yeah, that’s not going to work. :( It’s the “caveats” that got me. I’m trying a separate method that I’ll mention in another thread.
