Hello Vladimir,

Could you please arrange a simple example project we can run as-is to reproduce the problem here?
Thanks in advance.

This the test

Hi Vladimir,

I've tested this with XE5 and the latest beta version (130911) publicly available here and the actual internal sources we have here. I could reproduce the problem with your application and the beta; however I can't test it with the internal version so I made a Delphi version of the same application. This delphi version seems to reproduce the problem with the beta and not with the actual sources, so I'd expect this to be fixed with the next maintenance release.

Thank you, Yuray, it is actual for me, as I can't use in my application GDI+ with this bug.

Hi, Yeray
There is new bug with the latest TeeChart2013, also exists in beta.
Will try using this example (for GDI & GDI+) to print chart image:
On my HP printer the the printout is not the same as preview, bad annotation tool and very big size of axis fonts,
will check GDI and GDI+ modes, they have different printouts!

I apologize. We are doing our best to get an stable version for all the supported IDEs and publish it asap. This is taking some time, and that's why we publish quite regularly.

We'll be glad to check it if you can tell us a simple way to reproduce it. And even better if you can check it also with that example I posted above compiled with the sources at 24/10, of course.

Hi Yeray
I can reproduce this printout bug with my previous example for CBuilderXE5, (I have not DelphiXE5).
Simply you can press print button on TeeCommander in GDI+ mode, GDI mode has not this bug.
Print Preview is normal, but on paper there is a bug.
I've checked both examples(your and my) using RadStudioXE4, but with TeeChart2013forRadStudioXE4.exe,
its work fine for printout.

Hi Vladimir,

Can you check if with a virtual printer (ie CutePDF) the problem is still reproducible?

[anauta2014]

Hi, Yeray
Yes, sure, CutePDF has this wrong picture

Hi Vladimir,

Thanks for your feedback. I could reproduce the issue here with our current sources and added it to the bug-list to be fixed for future releases.

Hi Narcís
I've tested new maintence release for Builder XE5
Both bugs were fixed, thank you. (difference between GDI & GDI+ rendering and printout problem).

Hi Vladimir,

Excellent, you're welcome. Thanks for your feedback!
