Export diagram to image

[Mithal]

Hi, is there a way via the automation interface to export a diagram to a image.  Basically we are developing an addin to report of our EA database.  In the report we would like to have screen shots of the diagrams.

Thanks

Get Project interface(using Repository.GetProjectInterface()) and
use Project.PutDiagramImageToFile().

see www.sparxsystems.com/uml_tool_guide/sdk_for_enterprise_architect/project_2.htm

This is how I use it to get an Image property from my Diagram wrapper class:

Code: [Select]

public Image image
{
      get
      {
            EA.Project projectInterface = this.model.getWrappedModel().GetProjectInterface();
            string diagramGUID = projectInterface.GUIDtoXML(this.wrappedDiagram.DiagramGUID);
            string filename = System.IO.Path.GetTempPath() + Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + ".png";
            //save diagram image to file (format ".png")
            projectInterface.PutDiagramImageToFile(diagramGUID, filename, 1);
            //load the contents of the file into a memorystream
            MemoryStream imageStream = new MemoryStream(File.ReadAllBytes(filename));
            //then create the image from the memorystream.
            //this allows us to delete the temporary file right after loading it.
            //When using Image.FromFile the file would have been locked for the lifetime of the Image
            Image diagramImage = Image.FromStream(imageStream);
            //delete the temorary file
            System.IO.File.Delete(filename);

            return diagramImage;
      }
}
