Printing to PDF in good quality

[Andreas_Weiden]

Hi,

i’m trying to “export” my map to pdf. I’ve found an example using the PDFGeoCanvas, but this doesn’t work for me as i use a GeoHatchBrush, which doesn’t seem to be supported in 10.0.

My second approach was to export the map to an image-file and then include that image-file in a pdf. Thats works, but the quality of the image is quite bad. I’ve tried to increase the bitmap-size for the export, but that also increases the extend of the map shown in the image.

Can you help me on this?

Regards,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

I did a quickly test to get bitmap like this:

private void Map_MapClick(object sender, MapClickWpfMapEventArgs e)
{
System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmap = map.GetBitmap((int)map.ActualWidth, (int)map.ActualHeight);
bitmap.Save(“screenshot.jpg”, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
}

And it looks the image keep the same quality like map shows, does you call the same API to print it?

Ethan
