Two questions

1. When a line is drawn with style small dot it prints like a solid line with a very small line width (<1). When setting a lineseries (solid line) width of 1 (=minimum) it looks great on screen (1 pixel), but when printing the line is about 1 mm thick. Why doesn't it print like it looks on screen ?
It is possible like the small dots line proofs. Simular is applicable to a dots line with witdh of 1.

2. When printing a chart with a color bar that has the transparancy set (to say 50%) it prints like a solid bar. Why ?

Hi Jack,

1. When a line is drawn with style small dot it prints like a solid line with a very small line width (<1).

Yes, this is by default. To get a big dots you can use "psDots" instead and set the Width greater than 1.

When setting a lineseries (solid line) width of 1 (=minimum) it looks great on screen (1 pixel), but when printing the line is about 1 mm thick. Why doesn't it print like it looks on screen ?

Using the follwowing code prints like in the screen here :
With TChart1
.AddSeries scLine
.Series(0).FillSampleValues (10)
.Aspect.View3D = False
.Series(0).asLine.LinePen.Width = 1
.Series(0).asLine.LinePen.Style = psSolid
End With

2. When printing a chart with a color bar that has the transparancy set (to say 50%) it prints like a solid bar. Why ?

This is as designed. For the moment Transparency colors cannot be printed.
