SharpPlot.RenderSvg Method

Return completed chart rendered through SVG engine.

Example

string mysvg = sp.RenderSvg(SvgMode.FixedAspect);

Return Value

The result of this call is a string representation of an SVG document. This may be written to file as text for inclusion in a webpage, or returned via HTTP with content type “image/svg+xml”. It requires the free SVG plugin from Adobe for display in IE, but will display native in Firefox.

Overloads

• public string RenderSvg();
• public string RenderSvg(SvgMode mode);
• public string RenderSvg(SvgMode mode,string headerText);

Working with SVG

Typically, you would return the SVG directly to the browser, but you may save a stand-alone text file with a simple fragment of C# code such as:

   // Render to SVG file as ASCII
    StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("Simple.svg",false,System.Text.Encoding.ASCII);
    string chart = sp.RenderSvg(SvgMode.FixedAspect);
    sw.Write(chart);
    sw.Close();

This file will open in FireFox or Internet Explorer (with the Adobe plugin) and the graphic will scale to give you the best fit in the browser window.
