Important

Note that, exporting to raster and vector images is implemented by the Chart and does not require any library.

The chart can be previewed, printed and exported to other formats only if the Printing library is available. Make sure you add a reference to the DevExpress.XtraPrinting.v18.2 assembly.

Also note that chart export to PDF requires the DevExpress.Pdf.Core library to be available.
