How to export Diagram into image and Word document?
Essential® Diagram allows exporting the diagram to a Word document and an image.
- Exporting as Image can be achieved by using Diagram.ExportDiagramAsImage() and saving as Image.
- Exporting into Word document can be achieved by saving the diagram in standard image formats such as bitmaps, enhanced metafiles , SVG format files and these images can be exported to word document using Essential® DocIO. For this it is neccessary to have Essential® DocIO to be installed.
Exporting as Image
C#
ImageFormat imgformat = ImageFormat.Bmp;
Image img = this.diagram1.View.ExportDiagramAsImage(true);
img.Save("MyDiagram.bmp", imgformat);
VB
Dim imgformat As ImageFormat = ImageFormat.Bmp
Dim img As Image = Me.diagram1.View.ExportDiagramAsImage(True)
img.Save("MyDiagram.bmp", imgformat)
Exporting into Word Document
C#
System.Drawing.Image diagramimage = new Bitmap(1, 1, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);
Graphics grfx = Graphics.FromImage(diagramimage);
IntPtr hdc = grfx.GetHdc();
Metafile emf = new Metafile(hdc, EmfType.EmfOnly);
Graphics emfgrfx = Graphics.FromImage(emf);
this.diagram1.View.ExportDiagramToGraphics(emfgrfx,true);
grfx.ReleaseHdc(hdc);
grfx.Dispose();
emfgrfx.Dispose();
diagramimage.Dispose();
WordDocument document = new WordDocument();
// Adding a new section to the document.
IWSection section = document.AddSection();
// Adding a paragraph to the section
IWParagraph paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
WPicture mImage = (WPicture)paragraph.AppendPicture(emf);
document.Save("Sample.doc", Syncfusion.DocIO.FormatType.Doc);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Sample.doc");
VB
Dim diagramimage As System.Drawing.Image = New Bitmap(1, 1, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb)
Dim grfx As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(diagramimage)
Dim hdc As IntPtr = grfx.GetHdc()
Dim emf As Metafile = New Metafile(hdc, EmfType.EmfOnly)
Dim emfgrfx As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(emf)
Me.diagram1.View.ExportDiagramToGraphics(emfgrfx,True)
grfx.ReleaseHdc(hdc)
grfx.Dispose()
emfgrfx.Dispose()
diagramimage.Dispose()
Dim document As WordDocument = New WordDocument()
'Adding a new section to the document.
Dim section As IWSection = document.AddSection()
'Adding a paragraph to the section
Dim paragraph As IWParagraph = section.AddParagraph()
Dim mImage As WPicture = CType(paragraph.AppendPicture(emf), WPicture)
document.Save("Sample.doc", Syncfusion.DocIO.FormatType.Doc)
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Sample.doc")
