Automating Chart Export

[Steve L]

Hi,

I am using FusionCharts XT v3.12.2

I am creating my charts via the php wrapper.  What I would like to accomplish is automatically downloading the chart after it is rendered on the page without clicking on the FusionCharts export button.  Basically I want this to happen without a user needing to perform any action.

All suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks for your help.

Hello,

Thanks for the query.

Your requirement is achievable using the FusionCharts API methods like hasRendered() and exportChart().

We have created one sample for you where the chart is getting exported automatically when it has been rendered.

Please refer the sample link given below for the implementation.

Your solution (and example) is fantastic.  Thank you very much.

I tried using this one base on the sample provided but why is it that when the chart was saved as an image it doesnt contain the chart?

Hey,

Thanks for the response.

We can help you in exporting the chart and saving it at your end but the attachment part using TCPDF needs to be done at your end.

How about writing the actual chart on the PDF? because i saw an article saying that is not pssible.

Hello,

To render chart using FusionCharts, a browser is needed.

You can render the chart using a browser and then you can export the chart into the desired format. e.g. PNG, JPG, PDF, SVG, and XLS.

You can attach the exported image to your pdf file. Attaching the exported image need to be done at your end.
