Pure JavaScript rendering (HTML5) Export Overview |
FusionCharts XT allows Export of JavaScript(HTML5) charts as image/PDF. During export of the pure JavaScript charts, the chart data is sent to FusionCharts servers for processing and converting to image/PDF. User must have an active internet connection for this feature to work. In case you want to process the exported data on your own server, you may setup the chart to send the data to your own server. For this you will require PHP and JAVA (1.3 or above) support at your server. Also you will require FusionCharts PHP export handler and Apache Batik SVG Rasterizer library. The details of how to do the same has been explained later. Please take note of the few limitations regarding customizability and features, when using the pure JavaScript(HTML5) Export method, listed below:
When rendered using JavaScript (HTML5), there is only one mode of export - at Server-side. By default, JavaScript (HTML5) charts use FusionCharts server to get exported image. However you can place the PHP and JAR files on your servers and then over-ride the URL.
