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:
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", "../../Charts/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>See it live!
As you can see above, we've specified the various parameters for export component. This is done in the following syntax:
Component_Instance.componentAttributes.Parameter_name = 'Value';
e.g., myExportComponent.componentAttributes.width = '400';
