Firefox not able to print Chart

[Masterapiz]

Hi,

 

 

 

I'm aware that Firefox is having problem printing flash and that's including Fusion Chart. I'm also aware that Fusion team is releasing new fix for these. What I don't know is when you will be releasing it as I'm required to have this issue fix asap. I believe the reason that you are not releasing it is because there is some compatibility issue with Adobe Flash ver 10.

 

 

 

While waiting for them, can you suggest a way or a workaround for this as for temporary fix? I see this opensohurce from http://smokescreen.us/ looks promising but I have no idea how to implement it on Fusion Chart. Maybe your experts can help me on this. The objective is simple, to have it print on Firefox without exporting the chart to a new window etc.

 

 

 

Thanks.

Ok. Before I say anything else, I have one thing to show you. :cool: http://www.fusioncharts.com/labs/peek/managed-print/ This solves the printing issue on FireFox and related browsers!!!

 

We are still working on the IE printing issue.

 

 

 

 

 

As for Smokescreen, it uses SVG rendering and as such the present FusionCharts v3 framework is too complex to be loaded in SVG/HTML5 environment. Thus, as a savior, we have put in a silent HTML5 fallback mechanism for iPad/iPhone/iPod and related devices. You can test them from http://www.fusioncharts.com/labs/peek/html5basic/!

 

 

 

We would love to know your feedback/expectations.

Hi,

 

 

 

It seems to be working. I can use this for now. But can you explain the

 

 

 

"Charts are not ready for print." then changed to "Charts are ready for print.". Is this necessary or is just a difference before and after?

 

 

 

Im using .NET for the fusion chart and using only Pie chart. Possible to have a sample code zipped and post here?

 

And I see the title is

 

Print Manager - FusionCharts JavaScript Library 2.0 for FusionCharts v3.2

 

 

 

Ver3.2 not yet released right?

 

 

 

Thanks.

"Charts are not ready for print." then changed to "Charts are ready for print.". Is this necessary or is just a difference before and after?

 

This is very important and necessary.

 

 

 

During the time it says "not ready", it is actually exporting the chart into an image and drawing it in the background. And thus, you get a printable chart in FireFox and related browsers.

 

 

 

Ver 3.2 not yet released right?

 

Yes. 3.2 brings in lots of fixes, new features and pure joy for FusionCharts users and developers alike. As of now it is in pre-beta stage and as such codes are not directly available for download. We will be releasing this soon. Stay tuned.

 

 

 

And oh... do you know that FusionCharts 3.2 has built-in drill-down feature of charts that are fully customizable? And it also supports percentage auto-resize. Have a look at http://www.fusioncharts.com/labs/peek/linked-charts/simple.html and http://www.fusioncharts.com/labs/peek/linked-charts/

I tried out the html5 charts on my iPhone 3gs/ios4 and Firefox 3.6.8 and it looks great.

 

Will this be part of the standard 3.2 release for FC ?

 

tnx

 

 

[shamasis]

Oh yes! it will be.

 

 

 

3.2 will also have interactive legends: http://www.fusioncharts.com/labs/peek/interactive-legend/

 

 

 

And also have a look at DOM Level2 compatible event listeners that are used in the above demo!

Hi,

 

 

 

Im using the Fusion chart v3 currently. What I'm doing currently is to convert my page with the chart into pdf. I'm able to convert image/text but not flash element. Is there possibility to convert the chart into a static image?

 

 

 

Thanks.

Do you have any examples for this, the explanations and implementing it is 2 different things. As my site is generating a dynamic chart for each individu, I cant seem to figure how I need to store the chart image into my server every time a user wants to export to PDF.

 

 

 

My needs are simple, have the chart display as an image rather then flash when is required.

Do you have code for this examples.

When will 3.2 be released? We are in a hurry and need to get the things solved with Firefox printing?

 

 

 

Suggestion.

 

 

 

Fusion Chart should find a way to enable user to choose either using animated chart (flash) or static image chart like below

 

http://aspnetajax.componentart.com/control-specific/chart/Features/ChartTypes/PieDoughnut/Pie/default.aspx

 

 

 

because user sometimes have different goals to achieve and browser compatible issue.

Hi ,

 

 

 

I have downloaded Fusion 3.2 Beta, what are the changes I need to make to have my chart printed in FF. Im using Pie 3D. Thanks

 

 

 

 

 

Because I'm using C# to render the chart

 

FusionCharts.RenderChart("SWF File","","XML Data","Chart ID","width","height", false,false)

 

 

 

Where do I add the line

 

 

 

FusionCharts.setCurrentRenderer('javascript'); and FusionCharts.printManager.enabled(true)

 

 

 

so my chart can function as the example you gave in : http://www.fusioncharts.com/labs/peek/managed-print/

 

 

 

Thanks again.

Hi,

 

 

 

First of all you need to set the registerWithJS to true.

 

 

 

Secondly you need to have new chart swf files and fusioncharts.js

 

 

 

Thierdly, you need to add a single line of JavaScript in your code

 

 

 

FusionCharts.printManager.enabled(true);

[Guest Rajroop]

To add to things ...

 

 

 

You would also have to make the following modifications to your script.

 

 

 

Change - FusionCharts.RenderChart("SWF File","","XML Data","Chart ID","width","height", false,false)

 

 

 

To - FusionCharts.RenderChart("SWF File","","XML Data","Chart ID","width","height", false,true)

 

 

 

Also, could you please refer to the following thread for further discussions on FusionCharts v3.2 BETA?

 

Ref.- http://www.fusioncharts.com/forum/Topic30589-27-1.aspx

 

 

 

I hope this helps.

Hi,

 

Does the managed print functionality on FC 3.2 work with widgets/maps/powercharts (ver 3.1.1)?

Want to make sure before starting to code anything.

Please let me know.

 

Thanks.

[Guest Basundhara Ghosal]

Hi,

 

I am afraid, as of now, it works for FusionCharts v3.2 only.

 

However, we hope to come with the same soon.

 

Happy FusionCharting.

The Flash charts are displayed on a majority of devices and the JavaScript charts on devices that do not support Flash, all of it without writing a line of code.

 

Automatic rendering of JavaScript charts on devices (like iPad and iPhone) where Flash player is not supported.

 

5 new chart types:

 

Heat Map Chart

 

Box and Whisker Chart

 

Step Line Chart

 

Error Line Chart

 

Error Scatter Chart

 

 

* Support for JSON data format.

 

* Support for LinkedCharts, where a single data source controls multiple charts.

 

* Interactive legends in charts allow selective showing/hiding of data series.

 

* Legends now support icons for each data series.

 

* Better management of labels on charts.

 

* Labels now have an auto rendering mode to prevent them from overlapping, the chart selects the best display mode depending on the length of the labels and the width of the chart.

 

* Long labels are truncated, with ellipses appended to the truncated end of each label, and a tooltip bearing the completed label text is displayed when the user hovers over a truncated label.

 

* Support for line breaks and wrapping in all text elements including: caption, sub caption, X-axis title, Y-axis title, Labels and tooltips.

 

* In Line charts, data values can now be positioned either above or below the dataplots. Automatic positioning of data values is also supported.

* Advanced print management using JavaScript.

 

* Additional options for efficient event handling using JavaScript.
