I have a huge flow and would like to print it out but not sure how to do it. I currently have to take screen shots, but my flow is a few pages long.

Example:

Thanks again!

That's the best option available.

Somewhere on the to do list is a tool to take a flow config and return a static rendering (ie a png)... but that isn't going to get done any time very soon.

Ok, I figured that was the case but cool to hear it's on the weather map.

As the config is all in a JSON file, you could always write a utility node.js script to turn it into something printable ;)

A "little" project for the weeked?!

Hi,

Any update on this feature ?

- When I try to print (to PDF) in Chrome the layout is all broken

- Taking screenshot is a little bit hard with large flows

- Parsing JSON File is a good idea but a really hard work to layout it correctly. And the export could be done into a MindMapping tool too but as a developer said, Node-RED is already a good mind mapping tool :-)

No updates - not something that is actively looked at. It is a long-standing wish list item.
