Export Charts to SVG with React

January 10, 2024
Provide flexibility for users by giving your applications the ability to export charts to SVG format.

Exporting charts to SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format is vital for maintaining high-quality visuals in digital formats. SVGs are resolution-independent, meaning they retain their quality at any size, which is crucial for presentations or reports that might be viewed on different devices. This feature allows users to share their charts outside the chart creation tool while ensuring visual fidelity and sharpness.

Several React chart controls offer support for exporting to SVG including:

  • Highcharts Core is a lightweight, pure JavaScript library for interactive charts with extensive SVG export options.
  • KendoReact Chart provides declarative React charts with data-driven API and built-in SVG export for seamless integration in any React project.

PEERNET Image Printer products gain OCR functionality, facilitating easy conversion of scanned PDFs and images into searchable and editable files.

PEERNET offers a trio of powerful virtual printer drivers for Windows: Raster Image Printer, PDF Image Printer, and TIFF Image Printer. These drivers bypass physical printing, seamlessly converting virtually any file format into high-fidelity images or PDFs. All three integrate seamlessly into existing workflows, accessible via standard printing routines. Simply select the desired driver during your usual printing process, and your files will be transformed into the chosen format.

The recent v12.0.020 release of all three virtual printers has added OCR (Optical Character Recognition) functionality. This is a major advancement and allows you to effortlessly transform your printed and scanned document images into searchable and editable files. When you print a scanned PDF file to the PDF Image Printer, OCR will add the text on the pages as an invisible layer you can search and copy. When creating TIFF, PNG, JPEG, and other images using the TIFF Image Printer and Raster Image Printer, you use the optical character recognition feature to extract the text to digital hOCR, text, and ALTO files.
