Public Property ImageType As SparklineImageType

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
SparklineImageType	Metafile	A SparklineImageType enumeration value, specifying how a sparkline is rendered in a report.

Available values:

Name	Description
Metafile	The control is rendered as a metafile. In this case the quality of the rendered image is always good, but in some cases some details of the control may be lost.
Bitmap	The control is rendered as a bitmap. In this case the quality of the rendered image is sometimes poor, but it allows a control to be drawn more precisely.

Remarks

Use the ImageType property to specify whether a sparkline should be internally rendered as a metafile or bitmap in a report.

• If this property is set to SparklineImageType.Metafile (the default value), the quality of the rendered image is always good, but in particular cases some details of the control can be lost.
• If this property is set to SparklineImageType.Bitmap, the quality of the rendered image is sometimes poor, but it allows a control to be drawn more precisely.
