TCustomdxOrgChartReportLink.UseMetafile Property

Specifies whether to store a printed chart object as a metafile graphic.

#Declaration

Delphi
property UseMetafile: Boolean read; write; default True;

#Property Value

Type Default
Boolean True

#Remarks

Set the UseMetafile property to True to draw chart object contents as a metafile graphics when printing a report. Unlike a bitmap, a metafile guarantees device independence and higher quality (especially when scaling a report). Note, however, that metafiles are generally drawn slower than bitmaps. If the UseMetafile property is False, chart object contents are drawn as a bitmap.

Note

The TransparentColor property is in effect only when the UseMetafile property is set to False.

The default value of this property is True.
