Generate Chart as Image w/out Browser

[smitchelus]

Hi, we are evaluating Fusion Charts for use in a reporting project we are working on. Everything looks pretty good with the exception of one issue. We need to be able to generate PDF files of our reports (both online and in a scheduled job). To do this we render all of the various components of the report to HTML and then convert that to PDF. This is done on the server side, without a browser. What I really need in this case is the ability to render a Fusion Chart to a JPEG without requiring a browser. Is this possible?

 

 

 

FWIW, we have looked at the FusionChartSave.jsp code example, but it looks like that requires data to be posted to you from the Flash chart in the browser.

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

Scott

This is exactly what I am doing too. Is it possible to render the same chart as an image without having to load up the swf, compress pixel by pixel and finally recompile each pixel to create a jpeg (as FusionChartSave seems to do)?

 

 

 

Thanx

I'm afraid no, as the charts need to be rendered at client side first.
