Misleading information

Open TorsteinHonsi opened this issue 9 years ago • 6 comments

First of all, thank you for contributing to the Highcharts eco system!

According to your readme:

You may need to export a chart you made using HighCharts to an image or a PDF. It has an exporting module but it relies on an export server, which by default is http://export.highcharts.com/ and you also –unlucky you– have one or more of the following [...]

This is no longer true, since we launched our own offline export module in June. It would be greatly appreciated if you update the information in your readme.

@TorsteinHonsi does the new offline export have option to export multiple charts as one png/pdf? If so any examples?

Currently we don't have an option for that (with the online export we have this hack), but we should be able to do it with a little modification. We just have to get the SVG of all charts and add it to groups.

Couldn't find options for exporting to JPEG, PDF, XLS and CSV. Will they be supported with the new offline export?

@TorsteinHonsi any guidance you can provide would be helpful. I did it all manually before by looping through all available charts, grabbing svg, and basically compiling one big svg. It was quite hackish and the results weren't always great.

Please discuss it your issues somewhere else, thanks.

PS: @ChartHeaven, you will not be able to export CSV/XLS using the official plugin, at least last time I checked. PS2: @ragefuljoe, you could use the provided trick by @TorsteinHonsi or, which would be much easier, canvg the various SVG one under the other.

@ChartHaven, @A-- Yes, the official export-csv plugin does offline export of XLS and CSV. It falls back to online export for non-supportive browsers.
