  I am trying to create a drawing in a sub report, for that I need to draw lines dynamically while generating the report, I am trying to use Line control for that But I am not able to view the line in the report., Below is the code snippet I am using

  private void DiagramSectionReport_ReportStart(object sender, EventArgs e)
          {
              var line = new Line
              {
                  
                  X1 = 10,
                  Y1 = 100,
                  X2 = 200,
                  Y2 = 100,
                  LineColor = Color.Red,
                  LineWeight = 3
              };
              this.Sections[1].Controls.Add(line);
              this.detail.Controls.Add(line);
  
  
  
              GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReportModel.Label lblCategoryID = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReportModel.Label();
              lblCategoryID.Location = new PointF(0, 0.05F);
              lblCategoryID.Text = "Category ID";
              lblCategoryID.Alignment = TextAlignment.Center;
              lblCategoryID.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 10, FontStyle.Bold);
              this.Sections[0].Controls.Add(lblCategoryID);
              this.Sections[1].Controls.Add(lblCategoryID);
          }
  

  I am able to view the Label but not able to view the line, Am I doing something wrong here?

  I have attached 2 images below to
  
  1 . Design of sub reports showing 3 sections
  
  2. My reports(pdf’s) section showing the output of my sub report.

  Hello,

  The line might be rendered in your report, but to view it in your section, you may want to decrease the coordinate values and use certain other properties as follows:

  var line = new Line
             {
                 Name="line1",
                 X1 = 3.34,
                 Y1 = 0.062,
                 X2 = 4.34,
                 Y2 = 0.062,
     	Height=0,
     	Top=0.104,
     	Left=3.968,
                 LineColor = Color.Red,
                 LineWeight = 3,
     	LineStyle=LineStyle.Solid
             };
             this.Sections[1].Controls.Add(line);
             this.detail.Controls.Add(line);
