    Public Property OutputFormat As OutputFormat

C#

    public OutputFormat OutputFormat { get; set; }

#### Property Value

An OutputFormat enum value that specifies the format of the generated chart.

#### Remarks

The methods GetOutputLocation, ExportAsFile, ExportAsBinary, GetHTMLTag and GetOutputLocation generate the final chart as an image or a Flash movie. The output format of the generated chart is specified by the OutputFormat property.

If not specified, the default output format is OutputFormat.Swf (i.e. Adobe Flash movie)

The output format is defined by the OutputFormat enumeration defined as follows:

Enum Value | Definition
--- | ---
OutputFormat.Svg | SVG Image (Scalable Vector Graphics)
OutputFormat.Jpeg | JPEG Image
OutputFormat.Png | PNG Image (Portable Network Graphics)
OutputFormat.Flash | Flash Movie (Adobe Flash)
OutputFormat.Pdf | PDF Document (Adobe Acrobat)

#### Sample Code

The following code illustrates use of the OutputFormat property.

Visual Basic

    ' Create the chart series
    Dim categories(2) As String
    Dim values(2) As Integer

    categories(0) = "Jan"
    categories(1) = "Feb"
    categories(2) = "Mar"

    values(0) = 10
    values(1) = 20
    values(2) = 30

    chart.SetCategoriesFromArray( categories )

    chart.SetSeriesValuesFromArray( 0, values )

    ' Set the chart title
    chart.Title= "My Chart"

    ' Set the graphics settings from a style file
    chart.LoadStyle( "C:\\myStyle.scs" )

    ' The chart is complete, we can now generate the chart as a JPEG image
    chart.OutputFormat= OutputFormat.Jpeg

C#

    // Create the chart series
    string[] categories= new string[3];
    int[] values= new int[3];

    categories[0] = "Jan";
    categories[1] = "Feb";
    categories[2] = "Mar";

    values[0] = 10;
    values[1] = 20;
    values[2] = 30;

    chart.SetCategoriesFromArray( categories );

    chart.SetSeriesValuesFromArray( 0, values );

    // Set the chart title
    chart.Title= "My Chart";

    // Set the graphics settings from a style file
    chart.LoadStyle( "C:\\myStyle.scs" );

    // The chart is complete, we can now generate the chart as a JPEG image
    chart.OutputFormat= OutputFormat.Jpeg;
