Save Chart Without Button?

[MartinS]

I have been asked to see if, after selecting one of the export options from the right-click menu, i.e. Save as JPG, Save as PNG etc... whether there is a way for it to automatically show a Save As dialog once the chart image has been generated?

The examples all seem to show a Save button or some sort of user interaction for this to work. If I right-click and Save as JPG, it captures data, then does nothing.

Thanks

Hi Martin,

 

Please try calling the export function on calling the FCRender() function.

 

Ref.- <script type="text/javascript">

function FC_Rendered(DOMId) {

if (FusionCharts(DOMId).exportChart) {

// you can change the value of exportFormat to 'PNG' or 'PDF'

FusionCharts(DOMId).exportChart({ "exportFormat": 'JPG' });

}

}

 

</script>

 

I hope this helps.

Hi

No, sorry, doesn't seem to work. I just get 'waiting' after the image has been created.

This is the code I have in my page:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
       //This event is raised when the chart has finished capture phase and passed the data to
       //Export Component for further processing
       function FC_ExportReady(DOMId) {
           // create export object...       
           var myExportComponent = new FusionChartsExportObject("fcExporter1", "FusionCharts/FCExporter.swf");
           // render the exporter SWF in dummy DIV...
           myExportComponent.Render("fcExportDiv");
       }

       function FC_Rendered(DOMId) 
       {
           if (FusionCharts(DOMId).exportChart) {
               // you can change the value of exportFormat to 'PNG' or 'PDF'
               FusionCharts(DOMId).exportChart({ "exportFormat": 'JPG' });
           }
       }
   </script>

I right click on the chart and select 'Save as JPEG Image', it shows the Capturing data dialog, and at 100%, I get a greyed out 'waiting' area where I inserted my fcExportDiv div.

Thanks

And even with the ExportReady removed, it now doesn't show the Waiting, but still does nothing.

Do I need to set anything else, say in the chart attributes, to show the dialog?

Thanks

Hi Martin,

 

Could you please confirm the following:-

 

1) Whether you wish your chart to save directly as image/PDF as soon as it renders on the browser page?

 

2) The name of the server-side scripting language, in case you are using one.

 

Awaiting your reply.

Hi

Yes, that was my logic - they do not want the user to have to click a buton after 'Save as JPEG', only a save button on a Save As dialog.

This is a C# web application (.net 3.5), so apart from the calls to the js files, there is no other scripting language. I am using an AJAX updatepanel around the chart.

Thanks

Martin

Hi Martin,

 

Please refer to the "Export" folder of the FusionCharts latest pack(v 3.2) for the same.

 

Ref.- FusionCharts_Pack --> Code --> CS --> Export

 

I hope this helps.
