It would be great if the chart component would have an export to xaml.
you want the Windows Forms chart to export to XAML? Does that mean it exports the XamChart markup, or would it be acceptable to export XAML graphics, i.e. a Canvas filled with Path objects?
ultrachart -> export -> xaml -> xamlToys-tool -> emf
My final goal is to convert this xaml to emf, whitch works perfect with this tool: http://www.codeplex.com/XamlToys.
I'm not really sure, if "XAML graphics, i.e. a Canvas filled with Path objects" fits the needs of this converstion tool.
It uses a System.Windows.Media.Drawing object from a xaml-markup file, and it would fit perfrectly if ultrachart would also export to such an object. If not possible, xaml markup would be perfect also, then this conversion could be taken by xamlToys also.
then xamlToys converts this object to emf. The results are good!
Perhaps if you (Infragistics) integrate such a pipeline into your code yourself this would be a long awaited feature to export to emf. And if not - I would be happy to have xaml and do the rest for myself.
have you considered using the (WPF) XamChart instead of the (Windows Forms) UltraChart?
well, I thought thats not so easy as we have a classic windows forms application. Is it possible to just change the component without any extra adaptions ?
not really; the object models are different in many ways. maybe exporting the WinChart to SVG or PDF and converting that to EMF would be a better approach.
i am just throwing out suggestions without much knowledge of the EMF format or whether such a conversion can be done, though; sorry I can't be more helpful on this one.
