Generates a Flash movie, a JPEG image or a PNG image from a chart and returns the corresponding binary data.
object->ExportAsBinary( )
The ExportAsBinary method returns a binary value that contains the generated Flash movie, the JPEG image or the PNG image.
This method is actually similar to the ExportAsResponse method. However, ExportAsBinary does not write the response to the output. The method actually:
The format of the generated file (i.e. Flash movie, JPEG image or PNG image) is defined by the method SetOutputFormat.
The following PHP code illustrates use of the ExportAsBinary method.
//Create the chart series $values_1= array(); $values_2= array(); $values_1[0] = 10; $values_1[1] = 20; $values_1[2] = 30; $values_2[0] = 100; $values_2[1] = 200; $values_2[2] = 300; $chart->AddSeries(); $chart->SetSeriesValuesFromArray( 0, $values_1 ); $chart->AddSeries(); $chart->SetSeriesValuesFromArray( 1, $values_2 ); // Set the graphics settings from a style file $chart->LoadStyle( "C:\\myStyle.scs" ); // The chart is complete, we can now generate the movie $bin_swf= $chart->ExportAsBinary(); // Once generated, we simply write the image to the output Header("Content-Type: application/x-shockwave-flash"); Header("Expires: 0"); echo $bin_swf;
