Namespace: GlobFX.SwiffChartGenerator
Assembly: GlobFX.SwiffChartGenerator (in GlobFX.SwiffChartGenerator.dll)

Generates a Flash movie or an image from a chart and returns the corresponding binary data.

Visual Basic
Public Function ExportAsBinary As Byte()
C#
public byte[] ExportAsBinary();

Return Value

The ExportAsBinary method returns a binary value that contains the generated Flash movie, or JPEG / PNG image, or SVG / PDF document.

Remarks

This method is actually similar to the ExportAsResponse method. However, ExportAsBinary does not write the generated data to the output. The method actually:

The format of the generated content can be specified by the OutputFormat property.

Sample Code

The following code illustrates use of the ExportAsBinary method.

Visual Basic
' Create the chart series
Dim values_1(2) As Integer
Dim values_2(2) As Integer

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.SetSeriesValuesFromArray( 0, values_1 )
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
Dim swf_binary_data As Byte()
swf_binary_data= chart.ExportAsBinary()
C#
// Create the chart series
int[] values_1= new int[3];
int[] values_2= new int[3];

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.SetSeriesValuesFromArray( 0, values_1 );
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
byte[] swf_binary_data= chart.ExportAsBinary();
