Export SVG code

[Robert Kosara]

Is it possible to get the SVG protovis creates out of the canvas element and into a file? It's not a problem if this requires some code, it's for my own use.

There are a couple of tricks here:

Yup, two methods have been mentioned recently:

1/ A bit of PHP code and an ajax request - http://groups.google.com/group/protovis/browse_thread/thread/81efbb03ee7fd17e/a5793e4a07d9445a?lnk=gst&q=php#a5793e4a07d9445a
2/ Use Rhino server side. The archives have a demo/test by me that writes out a protovis generated SVG file to disk - zip of code that shows this is here: http://groups.google.com/group/protovis/attach/8a70b0e274255b36/rhinotest.zip?part=4

or if you're wanting to do it manually, you can just view the generated SVG XML using FireFox and copy/paste.

Thanks, Mike and Jamie. That's exactly what I was looking for.
