[Solved] Create SVG charts on the fly

[Christian]

Hi,
I would like to create SVG charts on the fly without views and controllers... Is it possible?
I started creating "new Chart<Model>(...)" but how to initialize ctor parameters?

I have a service, which creates html based emails. Now I want embed an SVG chart into it.

Any suggestions how to do this?

Thanks.

Hi,

The actual SVG is generated in the browser and not on the server. Therefore the Chart MVC extension is not directly usable in your scenario.

That said, it's not impossible to generate the graphics on the server. You can take the rendered HTML page and use a headless browser to generate an image out of it. We haven't tried this, but the approach is sound in principle.

I hope this helps.

All the best,
