Graphs do not render captions and labels properly when exporting to Excel, Word, or Powerpoint. The problem appears to be worse using Skia on Linux, but the problem is present with GDI rendering as well. Worth noting that PDF export works properly.
Here is an example report exported to Excel via a Linux Azure Web App and below that is the exact same report from the same environment as PDF:
Here is that same report as a PDF (which mirrors how it looks in the HTML5 viewer):
Hey Dimitar,
So, the problem is that the export from the stand-alone designer does NOT match up to the export from a .NET Core application. And the problem is worse when that .NET Core application is run on Linux.
So, I took the report you shared and I modified it slightly to more closely match my report:
- Added "Titles" on the X and Y axis.
- Modified the data to take in an actual date (rather than a string)
- Modified the grouping on the X axis to group by Month name (like my report does).
When I export that from the stand-alone designer, it looks like it looks on screen (in either Skia or GDI mode). Like this:
However, when I run it through my app (again, an asp.net core app on my Windows 11 development machine, but running via the Skia engine) and export it (via the HTML5 report viewer), then I get output that looks like this:
In this contrived example, I've highlighted in yellow how the side caption (Title) and the X-axis labels get randomly messed up. Again, this is done via my Window 11 development machine in an asp.net core web app exporting to Excel through the HTML5 report viewer interface. If I could deploy this to my Azure App Host (which runs on Linux), I suspect the output would likely be a bit worse.
I've attached my modified report and exports from the stand-alone designer and from the asp.net core app.
