Hello,
I am evaluating BIRT charts for our application, specifically zoom functionality.
1. I wanted to know if zoom in , zoom out is possible without explicitly changing the dataset . Does BIRT handle the dataset refresh if I just change the scale or do I need to update the dataset and pass it to the chart each time I rescale?

2.And how about the dataset refresh for Drill down functionality?

3. Does the chart API have support to
a.export the chart object to PDF
b.Print the chart object
If not what options would I have for Export/Print.

Thanks in advance

Are you using charts as part of a BIRT report or by just the Chart
Engine API. If you are using the api you should be able to rescale and
then re-run the chart. You can also do this in a report that contains a
chart using report parameters (if you need an example let me know). The
chart engine supports rendering to PDF as well. If you use the Birt
Viewer you can export the chart to pdf out of the box.

I am using just the Chart Engine API. Yes would you be able to give me an example? I am using it in SWT.
Would you also have an example to export the chart to PDF using the API?

Thanks

Here is a snippet to use the pdf output for the chart engine api.

Make sure you have this
org.eclipse.birt.chart.device.pdf_2.5.1.v20090625 plugin in your plugins

Did you copy org.eclipse.birt.chart.device.pdf_2.5.1.v20090625 from the
chart engine download to your birt runtime
pf.setBIRTHome("C:/birt/birt-runtime-2_5_1/birt-runtime-2_5_1/ReportEngine ");

Jason,
Yes I did as you mentioned in your previous email.
And set the BIRT home:
pf.setBIRTHome("C:/Program Files/Helios-BIRT/eclipse ");

Does it have any other dependencies which I need to add to my plugins folder?

What are you using as your build path (classpath)?

What I did to get it to work was to copy the plugin
(org.eclipse.birt.chart.device.pdf) from the chart download
(birt-charts-2_5_1\ChartRuntime\eclipse\plugins) to the plugins folder
of my birt runtime and then added one extra lib to my build path.
birt-charts-2_5_1\DeploymentRuntime\ChartEngine\org.apache.x erces_2.9.0.v200909240008.jar
