Printing a chart [SOLVED]
lazarus / 55-TAChart

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I know this subject has come up before but I'm still running into
difficulties. I've written an application which uses TAChart and it
all works. Now I want to send the charts to a printer.

I've installed the latest Lazarus ( 
lazarus-0.9.30.2-fpc-2.4.4-win32.exe )

I've read the TAChart documentation page where it describes "Drawers".
But my Lazarus installation doesn't seem to have IChartDrawer defined
anywhere.

The documentation says that to use the printer I'll need to install
the TAChartPrint package. An internet search didn't bring up any
useful information about where to find this package.

The documentation page also suggests looking at the "print" demo but
once again this seems to be missing from my Lazarus installation.

It seems that I'm missing some vital piece of information here. Could
someone please help?

These features were added in 0.9.31

Thanks for your very quick reply.

I think I understand what has happened. The latest Windows installer (
0.9.30.2 ) was released on the 5th of November 2011. I assumed that it
would include the latest version of TAChart which was documented on
the Lazarus Wiki several months before that. Up to now I've always
used the "release" versions of Lazarus but I can see that I'll need to
use Subversion to get the latest source code.

Thanks again

Malcolm
