Title
Is there an api for exporting pictures from charts?
Description
Can charts be directly converted into high definition images and saved? Is there a relevant API?
Solution
You have two ways to save a chart as an image:
Right-click directly on the chart to save or copy
- If you need to get pictures in a software project, we have different interfaces for different code environments
getDataURL
asynchronous methodReturns a data URI that contains the image display.
getDataURL: () => Promise<any>;
exportImg
asynchronous method Export chart images, only support browser side, and parameters at the same time name Pictures can be named.
/** * **Asynchronous method** Export chart pictures, only supports browser side. * @param name the saved image name * @returns */
exportImg: (name?: string) => Promise<void>;
exportCanvas
Exporting canvas with chart content is only supported on the browser side. You can use this canvas for secondary processing, such as adding watermarks, etc.
/** * Export the canvas with the chart content drawn * @returns HTMLCanvasElement * @since 1.5.2 */
exportCanvas: () => HTMLCanvasElement | undefined;
getImageBuffer
Currently only the node environment is supported for node-side image export.
getImageBuffer: () => void;
Code Example
const spec = { type: 'line', data: { values: [ { time: '2:00', value: 8 }, { time: '4:00', value: 9 }, { time: '6:00', value: 11 }, { time: '8:00', value: 14 }, { time: '10:00', value: 16 }, { time: '12:00', value: 17 }, { time: '14:00', value: 17 }, { time: '16:00', value: 16 }, { time: '18:00', value: 15 } ] }, xField: 'time', yField: 'value'
}; const vchart = new VChart(spec, { dom: CONTAINER_ID });
vchart.renderSync(); // After waiting for the animation to execute or after closing the animation, exportImg
setTimeout(() => { vchart.exportImg('vchart')
}, 1000) // Just for the convenience of console debugging, DO NOT COPY!
window['vchart'] = vchart;
