Export charts at client-side
Enabling charts to export at client side involves a two-step process. First, we need to configure individual charts' export attributes and then we need to include an additional component for saving the exported charts. This additional component is called the FusionCharts Export Component. It is an SWF file, shipped as FCExporter.swf
, whose work is to process the exported charts and display additional controls such as buttons to save the exported chart.
Note
The export component SWF file uses the additional benefits of ActionScript 3.0 to process the exported charts and consequently requires a minimum of the Flash Player version 10 plugin to be available.
You will also require an additional JavaScript file, FusionChartsExportComponent.js
, which is available within the downloadable package inside the Charts
folder, beside the FusionCharts.js
file. This file allows the charts and the export component SWF to communicate with each other.
