telerik reporting chart plotarea bigger then chart size

[FvLent]

I have a problem with Reporting since I upgraded to 2012Q1.
In the designer I see my chart correct, but in the browser it shows the chart's plotarea expanded and clipped.
Also the chart looks like it is zoomed-in
See attached pictures to see what I mean.
Can anyone tell me what to do to get the size of the chart correct?
Regards

Hi Frank,

Please try the following:

1. Set the ImageFormat of the chart to PNG. You cannot do this in the property grid, so you have to write it in the constructor, after the InitializeComponent():
   
   Copy Code

   chart1.ImageFormat = System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png;
   chart1.BitmapResolution = 96;

2. Test the report with Chart's DPI set to 96.

Setting the format to PNG and the resolution to 96 should fix the issue. This problem occurs as you most likely have magnified the display settings (Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display) to a bigger value e.g. 125%. A setting of 100% will render the chart images correctly, so if this issue occurs on your server, we recommend resetting the display settings to 100%.

All the best,

Steve, thank you!
I never would have found this myself.
I didn't change settings in ControlPanel but I had IE initially to zoom to 125% before I run the reports, but after I changed it back to 100% this problem still stayed.
Is there any documentation of the ImageFormat and BitmapResulation settings available?
Regards!

Hello Frank,

There are no designated help articles if that is what you ask for, as the properties are pretty self explanatory. Here are links to the Report API:

• BitmapResolution Property 
• ImageFormat Property

Kind regards,
