C# ExportFormat xWidth, yHeight dimensions from MapView.Active.Extent

MikeRatcliffe

I'd like to get the pixel width and height from the MapView.Active.Extent or Camera or Geometry to feed ExportFormat's Height/Width.  I do this so the exported dimensions of the Tiff etc. match the MapView Extent as the user might expect.

Thanks, Charles.  .GetViewSize() is what I needed, but I still had to implement the 'cheat' above to get anything that resembled the actual mapview aspect ratio without truncating it.  (This interface won't let me attach images above 1920x1080.)  I believe this method would ALSO work if the user merely wanted a low-res screenshot--just delete the *3 multipliers from resolution, height, width. Here's where I ended up:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

private async void Xprt_mv_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
await ActMap();

if (File.Exists(GVar.DL + @temp\MapView.tiff))
{
File.Delete(GVar.DL + @temp\MapView.tiff);
}
if (File.Exists(GVar.DL + @temp\MapView.tfw))
{
File.Delete(GVar.DL + @temp\MapView.tfw);
}

await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
MapView activeMapView = MapView.Active;
var mvs = activeMapView.GetViewSize(); //get active mapview size
double mvsh = (mvs.Height)*3; //set height variable *3 for printable resolution
double mvsw = (mvs.Width)*3; //set width variable *3 for printable resolution
int ResoMultiplied = 96 * 3; //native System display resolution 96ppi *3 for printable resolution

if (activeMapView != null)
{
TIFFFormat Tiff = new TIFFFormat()
{
Resolution = ResoMultiplied, //use resolution multiplied
Height = mvsh, //use height variable
Width = mvsw, //use width variable
HasWorldFile = true,
OutputFileName = GVar.DL + @temp\MapView.tiff
};

//Export active map view
if (Tiff.ValidateOutputFilePath())
{
activeMapView.Export(Tiff);
}
try
{
string filepath = GVar.DL + @temp\;
Process.Start(filepath);
}
catch (Exception)
{
MessageBox.Show("Could not open the image's containing folder because it does not exist.", " Missing FilePath",
MessageBoxButtons.OK,
MessageBoxIcon.Warning,
MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1,
MessageBoxOptions.DefaultDesktopOnly);
return;
}
// emf, eps, gif, jpeg, pdf, png, svg, tga, tiff formats also available for export
}
});
}
