Sample Chart Snipping Tool

The following explains how to use the Chart Snipping Tool within the Scope Control Integration.

In this sample the programming language C# is used.

Sample Chart Snipping Tool 1:

The button for the snipping tool triggers the event 

CopyToClipboard

of the class

TwinCAT.Measurement.Scope.API.Model.Chart

and provides the required parameters for further processing.

Subsequently, the static method

TwinCAT.Measurement.Reporting.Model.ReportingProject.ShowReportingProject(EVENT_PARAMATER, BACKGROUND_COLOR, SCOPE_PROJECT);

can be called with the corresponding parameters.

The snipping tool is then called and displays the chart that triggered the event in the configuration interface.

For more information on using the snipping tool, see the article Chart Snipping Tool.

For use without the toolbar button, you can configure the necessary parameters yourself.

This requires the creation of instances of the class

TwinCAT.Measurement.Scope.API.CopyClipboardStartupArgs

which must provide the respective chart, the size as rectangle, and the axis scaling as parameters.

The call is then made via the same static method as the call via the click event.
