mpolly Report post Posted November 20, 2007 I have a FusionGadget gantt chart that is dynmically generated off a database. The chart ends up being very long on the page (161 rows which we've sized the swf to 4000 pixels). When printing (right-click, then select Print), it displays the entire image on one page, which shrinks it down to being impossible to read. Is there a way to get the print to split across multiple pages? Also, when printing from the browser (File Print) the swf image does not show - everything else on the page does. Same thing when printing to PDF using CutePDF Writer. I'm using Firefox and checking the option to print background (images/colors). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pallav Report post Posted November 23, 2007 Hi, Can you try printing using the context menu > Print Chart? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mpolly Report post Posted December 4, 2007 Sorry, I was side tracked on another project and forgot to check the forum. I am able to print the chart using the context menu. However, when the chart prints, it auto-sizes it to fit on one page, which shrinks the text down to an unreadable size. Its like taking a picture that is looks good at 16x20, then shrinking it down to a thumbnail - its there but you can't really see any detail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricowarrior Report post Posted June 25, 2009 Hi Guys, Is there any response to this. If you print a gantt chart that has multiple rows, it should span the print across multiple pages and maintain the appearance as is. Rgds, Ritchie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Rajroop Report post Posted June 25, 2009 Hello Ritchie, I am afraid this feature is not available, as of now. However, we have made a note of it. We have put this issue on our wishlist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricowarrior Report post Posted June 25, 2009 Hi Rajroop, Many thanks for the swift reply.....the problem with the Gantt chart compared to the others is that it required different dimensions based on the number of rows required to set the overall chart height/width. What I'm finding is that the printout looks nothing like the flash object rendered in a web browser. Its small and cramped....I think a bit of work needs to be done on this. What I also find is that if I set the width of the chart div to something like 900 pixels, when I print this, it only covers half the width of the print page, leaving a lot of white space on the right. Would there be a way to fill up all the empty whitespace on a printout regardless of what size it is rendered in a browser aswell as spanning it over multiple pages. My only solution at the moment, is to set the chart div width to something like 2000px and make all the fonts rather large. Another issue is that if the names in the process list on rather detailed and contain a lot of characters, they get truncated and removed from the view which is definitely not ideal. They should be wrapped and on display. Many thanks, Ritchie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricowarrior Report post Posted June 25, 2009 Hi Rajroop, After a little more testing, I found that if I just have a couple of gantt lines in a chart, the printout works fine but once the number of lines increased to a rate whereby the chart need to be spanned over multiple pages, it cramps the chat into the one page which makes the chart width smaller and the font unreadable. Can you make this a priority bug as the print process for gantt charts, with multiple rows, is not viewable. Many thanks, Ritchie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ricowarrior Report post Posted June 29, 2009 Hi Rajroop, Do you have any timescale as to when this issue will be looked at. I am currently developing an application which my users are requesting to be able to print a readable gantt chart view. I have looked at a similar product at http://www.anychart.com/products/anygantt/overview/ which supports the multi-page print out requirement. I need to make a decision on what to do, as its a priority with my current users. I have purchased a license for the fusionwidgets on the basis that the print capability was there, but in the circumstances above it falls short. Can you let me know asap. Many thanks, Ritchie.

Guest Rajroop Report post Posted June 29, 2009 Hello Ritchie, The Gnatt chart does not have the multi page print functionality that you are seeking, as of now. However, come FusionCharts v4, this issue will be taken care of. There is no set approximate time of the v4 release as yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
