[CLOSED] Pie Charts on PDF Compound Reports

I have a general question - which methed will yield the best results when creating a pie-chart on a PDF compound report on WF 7.1.3?

I used the Graph Assistant to create the initial pie chart, which is created and held as a GIF image, which is then placed on the PDF.

It's not looking as sharp as I want, and I wanted to size the pie to be much smaller, but when I do, the legend text becomes unreadable. I'd like to make the pie chart very small, but keep the legend larger for readability.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thank you.

Andy, the best option is to use SVG, as this is vector based.

Andy,

A good suggestion from Waz to which I would add, obtain a copy of the Graphics manual and keep it close to hand. There are many possible customising options that can change font size, face, colour etc. but you will need to identify the precise items to which you want to effect a change. The engine that is used for graphing is the one written by ThreeD Graphics modified for IB so add this link to your favorites.
