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

Generates the chart in the requested format and returns the corresponding binary data.

Visual Basic

Public Function ExportAsBinary As Byte()

public byte[] ExportAsBinary();

Return Value

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

generates the content (SVG, PNG, JPG, SWF or PDF data) from the chart object,
returns the data (movie, image or document) in binary form.

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()

// 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();
