 SVG Outp |

Hi
I have a need to generate the SVG file for the chart data I pass in batch mode i.e. the chart will never be rendered in BROWSER.
The goal is to capture the SVG output and then embed that in a pre-stored HTML report template. This HTML template with some static data along with the chart in <SVG> tag will then be passed to a PDF converter to generate the final report.
Thanks in advance |

Hi Sean,
You can use BaseChart.makeChart to save the chart as SVG. The exact syntax depends on your programming language. For example, in C#, it is like:
c.makeChart("c:pathtoabc.svg");
See:
https://www.advsofteng.com/doc/cdnet.htm#BaseChart.makeChart.htm
Note that the SVG created is a complete SVG image file. It starts with the <?xml ...> tag, followed by <!DOCTYPE ....> tag, and then the <svg ...> tag. It is like:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='no'?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD SVG 20010904//EN' 'http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd'>
<svg .....> .... </svg>
If you embed it in HTML, and you only need to <svg ...> part, you may insert only the part of the file starting from "<svg ".
Best Regards

| Thanks Peter for the quick response (especially on a 3 day holiday weekend). One quick follow up - Can I run your sample code in a microservice by including the necessary modules? (Eg. If microservice is in Java or C#, do I just need to import/include the necessary libraries? If so, is there a sample of those includes?) |
