Exporting Charts as PDF or Images > Client-side export > Component UI

As we've already seen earlier, the Export Component UI has two modes:

  • Compact Mode - For saving single chart, when one export component instance is present for each chart. In this mode, only a button and caption is visible for saving.
  • Full Mode - For saving multiple charts, either individually or as a single file. In this mode, the user can select which chart to save along with the format.

In both modes, you can customize the colors, fonts and titles of export component. Before we get into the attributes that actually does this, let's first quickly look at what the various elements of the Export Component are. The following diagram highlights the important elements:

Configuration attributes

To configure any of the attributes of Export Component, the same needs to be specified in JavaScript (where the Export Component has been initialized). An example code is shown below:


<div id="fcexpDiv" align="center">FusionCharts Export Handler Component</div>
<script type="text/javascript">

   var myExportComponent = new FusionChartsExportObject("fcExporter1", "../../FusionCharts/FCExporter.swf");

   //Customize the component properties
   //Width and height
    myExportComponent.componentAttributes.width = '400';
   myExportComponent.componentAttributes.height = '60';

   //Background color
   myExportComponent.componentAttributes.bgColor = 'ffffdd';

   //Border properties
   myExportComponent.componentAttributes.borderThickness = '2';
   myExportComponent.componentAttributes.borderColor = '0372AB';

   //Font properties
   myExportComponent.componentAttributes.fontFace = 'Arial';
   myExportComponent.componentAttributes.fontColor = '0372AB';
   myExportComponent.componentAttributes.fontSize = '12';

   //Message - caption of export component
   myExportComponent.componentAttributes.showMessage = '1';
   myExportComponent.componentAttributes.message = 'Export the chart first, and then click on this button to save';

   //Button visual configuration
   myExportComponent.componentAttributes.btnWidth = '200';
   myExportComponent.componentAttributes.btnHeight= '25';
   myExportComponent.componentAttributes.btnColor = 'E1f5ff';
   myExportComponent.componentAttributes.btnBorderColor = '0372AB';

   //Button font properties
   myExportComponent.componentAttributes.btnFontFace = 'Verdana';
   myExportComponent.componentAttributes.btnFontColor = '0372AB';
   myExportComponent.componentAttributes.btnFontSize = '15';

   //Title of button
   myExportComponent.componentAttributes.btnsavetitle = 'Save the chart'
   myExportComponent.componentAttributes.btndisabledtitle = 'Waiting for export';

   //Render the exporter SWF in our DIV fcexpDiv
   myExportComponent.Render("fcexpDiv");

</script>

As you can see above, we've specified various parameters for export component. This is done in the following syntax:

Component_Instance.componentAttributes.Parameter_name = 'Value';

e.g., myExportComponent.componentAttributes.width = '400';
