How to export a page as an image in TIBCO Spotfire using IronPython scripting.

[Maria Khmelnitskaya]

Dear all

Is there a way to export a page from the report as an image

I have found a way to export a vizualisation:https://community.spotfire.com/wiki/how-export-visualization-image-tibco-sp..., but I need a snapshot of the entire page. In the example in the link a Render attribute of the vizualisation is used, but it is not availible for the page.

P.S. I need that to export the report with custom styles, and this option is unavailble in Tibco 7.8.

Thanks!

It is now possible with Spotfire 7.12 and above to render page as an image. Check the below wiki article,

Thank you! this helps. Just in case there is luck on my side today,  I see no harm in asking...

 

Do you know if there is an example of this code that loops through the dxp document pages and inserts into a new or open powerpoint I have searched long and far for this to address my original use case. 

 

My use case for this ask: counter default behavior/output of Spotfire webplayer's "export to PowerPoint" and the effects of this behavior rendering any meaningful spotfire library analyses' visualization unintelligible due to its default 4:3 slide dimensions. The bulky aspect ratio is primary painpoint and is further compounded by slides' meager size/area serving to pronoune underdesired skew by constraining images ability to handle font size and visualization elements . 

 

Thanks again! I will post back here if I find the solution I am looking for.
