Line graph

[Mehul Trivedi]

We are trying to create a line graph using OWC 9. The
resulting GIF in the asp file is not smooth. Instead of
one continuos line you usually see in printout for Excel
graph, it shows jagged lines. I tried using the logic of
crating big GIF file (such as 2400x2000) and then using
IMG tag width and legth attributes of 600x500 to increase
the resoution but that has adverse effects on colors and
outline lines of the stacked bar on the same graph. And
the line still prints jagged not smooth like Excel. Any
ideas on how to immitate what excel does?

Thanks.

To my knowledge whenever you increase or decrease a
picture you always loose some picture quality. Why don't
you just create/export the chart picture of the exact
size?

We tried that as the first thing. It didn't help. Here is
the exact problem we are trying to solve...when we create
a chart using the OWC the lines in the line graph and
characters in key values, legend and other places in
graph look fuzzy and jagged. Basically printout of the
gif created from the chart control doesn't have the same
sharpness as one from the excel. Even if I create a
picture of the excel and then print it, it still looks
more sharp then the gif from the web component. I tried
to use the logic of creating a big picture and then
compressing it but that didn't help either. Even on the
same web page where I am adding this gif, the characters
in the chart GIF are fuzzy as compared to the characters
on the rest of the asp page...please let me know if you
guys are not experiencing this difference and if there is
any way to make both look same...

Thanks,
