We wish to lay emphasis on one point again - Whenever a map needs to export as image/PDF (either server-side or client-side), it first necessarily needs to render itself in browser. Once it has rendered in the browser, you can then invoke the JavaScript API to automatically start the export process, without needing any user action.
While the list looks scary at the first sight, let us assure you that setting up all these things is just a matter of minutes, involving just copying-pasting some files here and there, and configuring your XML for export related parameters. You do NOT need to write any of your own code to handle any of this - we've done the hard work so that you can relish it!
With that assurance, let's first quickly learn the various terminologies associated with FusionMaps Export process for once and for all! |
