I'm writting a code which shows two different Google Charts in one XHTML page. I need to put a button that export both graphs to the same PNG file, one above the other as they are shown.
To export one single chart is easy and is already done; Google documentation teaches that in here with only minor adjustments needed to show the button (done). The question now is how do I pick the information of both charts and print in the same PNG file.
I've considered a solution similar to the one shown in this link: pick the underlying canvas behind both images and tell to print that instead of the graphs per se. Problem is I have no idea how to do that and if that is even possible, even though a thread here in SO suggested something similar, suggesting it's possible, without going into the details on how to do it.
So how could I do that? I'm completely new to this web programming, so I'd be grateful for complete answers.

Is it possible to export a view as more than 1 image? in any kind of split.
When exporting the view as an Image I want to keep the scaling consistent and Revit will not allow export an image with more than 15000 pixels. So on big Models I want to split the image to keep the meter per pixel consistent.
Any other suggestions are welcome.
I am not aware of any such possibility.
Please be aware of the following rule of thumb:
In general, if a feature is not available in the Revit product manually through the user interface, then the Revit API will not provide it either.
You should therefore research the optimal workflow and best practices to address your task at hand manually through the Revit user interface first.
To do so, please discuss and analyse it with an experienced application engineer, product usage expert, or product support.
Once you have got that part sorted out, it is time to step up into the programming environment.
I hope this clarifies.
I was able to do it by cropping different parts of the view and hiding everything outside the crop before the export. As the image export only export the visible elements.
I've encountered a different issue now, there are different visible objects outside of the actual model that interfere with the image export, sometimes those are elevation markers, site internal origin, other hidden annotations and many more.
Is there a way to hide absolutely everything outside the crop? do I need to go over every instance of a list of possible visible objects and hide them?
Thank you for sharing your solution to the original question on exporting several images displaying different elements by toggling their visibilities.
Regarding your second, new, question, on interfering elements such as 'elevation markers, site internal origin, other hidden annotations and many more':
Yes, indeed, I would suggest hiding those as well, just as you successfully handled the other 'standard' BIM elements, e.g., using the HideElements method, HideElementsTemporary, or, maybe better still for such special element types, hiding their entire categories using HideCategoriesTemporary.
I have been researching and studying various HTML code with similar questions but wanted to try something a little different: (And please forgive me for my silly sounding questions here. I am still quite new with this kinds of things so still experimenting with a lot)
1) I want to know if it's possible to write code in HTML that will allow the display of an image at a certain time. Like let's say for example, the image will only appear at midnight local time from wherever someone is searching.
2) If this is possible, how to I first display one image on a website and then at a specified time have that image replaced by a different image and then after let's say one minute everything will revert back to the original image on the website?
3) How do I "store" the image I want to have displayed at a certain time of the day? I mean, how do I program in HTML to show that new image but obviously not make it possible to be known in the source code?
4) Last, is it possible to prevent proxy servers from being used or other means that could potentially manipulate the time.
Thank you much!
After browsing for a while for available solutions, it is really hard to choose the most appropriate tool for creating dashboard & populating it with plots. I would want to have an html page with multiple plots and tables depicted. I'm thinking to have data input stored in csv files, appropriately formatted.
The requirements are:
plot coordinates are showing on mouse hover
ability to show coordinates of points on a plotted line (points in
scatter plot or bar values for bar chart) 'sticking' to the nearest
lines on hover, with appropriate handling of multiple lines (show several y values for same x)
ability to interactively switch plotted data on/off
easily embeddable into html page, doesn't require additional plugins installed
a good variety of plot types
not too slow to load and stable, there could be ~50 plots on one page
(this is for internal use only, so quickness is not that important)
does it all with minimal effort
So far I checked out (by no means a final opinion, correct me if I'm wrong):
gnuplot+canvas - looks good, but samples on their page fail to work
well for me, not always getting mouse clicks right
python+matplotlib+mplh5canvas - feels a bit raw, as I understand
some of the stuff above I'd need to implement in Python myself
RGraph looks awesome at first glance, not sure if it is good since never heard of
it and don't have any experience in js, hard to customize(?)
some other random stuff which seemed bad enough
Suggestions?
RGraph looks awesome, and is awesome. It's not difficult to use and there are a lot of examples online.
Rgraph Example page
They've got 22types of graphs, correct me if I'm wrong, and as I already said, easy to use.
Documentation about possibilities and stuff for each type of graph is also available on the website.
I end up using Highcharts because of its very advance features and ready-to-use templates (in addition to the things mentioned in the question).
I'm looking for a tool/solution that would allow me to convert a power point presentation into a fully html5 website. I've seen solutions like iSpring and html5point which just make each slide as an img or iSpring whihc is good for simple slides. In my case the slides contain graphics and shapes (no animation or video though). Any adivce ?
I don't know of any of the solutions you mention, but the last time I had to do this I found it easiest to export (Save As ...) the .ppt as a single webpage and then copy and paste chunks of it into a template I had created previously.
Some of my users will be creating flowcharts..The idea is that at certain steps, the charts will allow the user to click on the text to go to another chart, or a manual or something.
My task will be to get these charts online.
The idea of hand coding these inside HTML seems crazy, so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?
Ideally, I would allow the users a tool to design the charts how they wish, and they could export it to something I could import into my page...They could either create linkable content inside the software, or if the html generated was neat enough I could do this bit myself.
Has anyone else come across a problem like this?
I've used Graphviz (link) to create flowcharts in HTML (an example of usage in real world: google wave used it to draw flowcharts in the waves). In the generated flowchart you can include links associated with nodes, edges, titles, etc. When a user clicks on a link, your software can re-render an image with the data of the new flowchart. Can be exported to png, svg, etc so is kind of easy to include it.
