Output Chart as Image via API

Recommended Posts

Is it possible to change the chart output to a PNG, instead of an interactive SVG?

 

I have used FusionCharts to create an awesome chart, however some implementations (including in a PDF or email for example) require that the chart be a static image, ideally a PNG file.  I know that the user can have an option to export their chart as an image manually, but I need the website to create the image automatically and then save it to my server.  Is there a way to output an entire chart as a simple image in these scenarios?

 

Thanks in advance :)

Hi,

 

Welcome to FusionCharts Forum.

 

You can try setting the attribute "exportAction":"save" in the chart element of your XML/JSON data.

 

And as a suggestion, the scenario you have mentioned can be done via  Inkscape and ImageMagick in PHP. 

 

You can set up a private export server in PHP. Refer this link for the same: http://docs.fusioncharts.com/tutorial-interactivity-exporting-as-image-and-pdf-setup-private-export-server-php.html

 

Also, please confirm if you are using ASP.NET for rendering and exporting of charts.

 

Awaiting response.
