Render Highcharts canvas as a PNG on the page
Here's a hack if you have your heart set on using HighCharts. It uses canvg to parse the SVG into a canvas and then converts the canvas to a PNG.
chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container'
},
title: {
text: ''
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']
},
series: [{
data: [29.9, 71.5, 106.4, 129.2, 144.0, 176.0, 135.6, 148.5, 216.4, 194.1, 95.6, 54.4]
}],
navigation: {
buttonOptions: {
align: 'center'
}
}
});
canvg(document.getElementById('canvas'), chart.getSVG())
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var img = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
document.write('<img src="'+img+'"/>');
I know this is now an old question, but since it came up #1 for me in a Google search result, I think it's worth mentioning that Highcharts now natively supports a server-side image generation script and it works great.
