Print

The rendered Maps can be printed directly from the browser by calling the print method. To use the print functionality, Print module must be injected into the Maps using provide section and set the allowPrint property to true. The following code snippet demonstrates injecting the Print module into the Maps component.

<template>
    <ejs-maps id='maps'></ejs-maps>
</template>
<script>
export default ({
    data() {
        return{ };
    },
provide: {
    maps: [Print]
}
</script>
});
<template>
    <div id="app">
        <button id="print" @click="clickPrint">Print</button>
        <ejs-maps id='container' :allowPrint='allowPrint' ref="maps" height='450px' width='500px'>
            <e-layers>
                <e-layer :shapeData='shapeData' :dataLabelSettings='dataLabelSettings' :shapeSettings='shapeSettings' :tooltipSettings='tooltipSettings' ></e-layer>
            </e-layers>
        </ejs-maps>
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { MapsPlugin, MapsTooltip, DataLabel, Print } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-maps';
import { usMap } from './usa.js';
import { ButtonPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons';
Vue.use(MapsPlugin,ButtonPlugin);
export default {
data () {
    return {
        dataLabelSettings: {
            visible: true,
            labelPath: 'name',
            smartLabelMode: 'Trim'
        },
        shapeData: usMap,
        shapeSettings: {
            autofill: true
        },
        tooltipSettings: {
            visible: true,
            valuePath: 'name'
        },
        allowPrint: true
    }
},
provide: {
    maps: [MapsTooltip, DataLabel, Print]
},
methods: {
    clickPrint: function(args) {
        let map=document.getElementById('container');
        map.ej2_instances[0].print();
    }
}
}
</script>

Image Export

To use the image export functionality in Maps, ImageExport module must be injected into the Maps using provide section and set the allowImageExport property to true.

<template>
    <ejs-maps id='maps'></ejs-maps>
</template>
<script>
export default ({
    data() {
        return{ };
    },
provide: {
    maps: [ImageExport]
}
</script>
});

The rendered Maps can be exported as an image using the export method. The method requires two parameters: image type and file name. The Maps can be exported as an image in the following formats.

  • JPEG
  • PNG
  • SVG
<template>
    <div id="app">
        <button id="export" @click="clickExport">Export</button>
        <ejs-maps  id='container' :allowImageExport='allowImageExport' ref='maps' height='450px' width='500px'>

            </e-layers>
        </ejs-maps>
    </div>
</template>

<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { MapsPlugin, MapsTooltip, Marker, ImageExport} from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-maps';
import { world_map } from './world-map.js';
Vue.use( MapsPlugin );
export default {
data () {
    return {
        shapeData: world_map,
        shapeSettings: { fill: 'lightgrey', border: { color: 'black', width: 0.1 } },
        allowImageExport: true,
        markerSettings: [
            {
                animationDuration: 0,
                visible: true,
                dataSource: [

                    { longitude: -43.2104872, latitude: -22.951916, name: 'Christ Redeemer, Rio de janeiro, Brazil'}
                ],
                shape: 'Balloon',
                fill: '#E13E40',
                height: 20,
                width: 15,
                tooltipSettings: {
                    visible: true,
                    valuePath: 'name'
                }
            }
        ]
    }
},
provide: {
    maps: [Marker, MapsTooltip, ImageExport]
},
methods: {
     clickExport: function(args) {
        let map = document.getElementById('container');
        map.ej2_instances[0].export("PNG", "Maps");
    }
}
};
</script>

Exporting Maps as base 64 string of the file

The image can be exported as base64 string for the JPEG and PNG formats. The rendered Maps can be exported to image as a base64 string using the export method. There are four parameters required: image type, file name, orientation of the exported PDF document which must be set as null for image export and finally allowDownload which should be set as false to return base64 string.

            document.getElementById('data').innerHTML = data;
        });

PDF Export

To use the PDF export functionality in Maps, PdfExport module must be injected into the Maps using provide section and set the allowPdfExport property to true.

<template>
    <ejs-maps id='maps'></ejs-maps>
</template>
<script>
export default ({
    data() {
        return{ };
    },
provide: {
    maps: [PdfExport]
}
</script>
});

The rendered Maps can be exported as PDF using the export method. The export method requires three parameters: file type, file name and orientation of the PDF document. The orientation setting is optional and 0 indicates portrait and 1 indicates landscape.

<template>
    <div id="app">
        <button id="export" @click="clickExport">export</button>

import { world_map } from './world-map.js';
Vue.use( MapsPlugin );
export default {
data () {
    return {
        shapeData: world_map,
        shapeSettings: { fill: 'lightgrey', border: { color: 'black', width: 0.1 } },
        allowPdfExport: true,
        markerSettings: [
            {
                animationDuration: 0,
                visible: true,
                dataSource: [
                    { longitude: 116.5703749, latitude: 40.4319077, name: 'The Great Wall of China, China ' },

                fill: '#E13E40',
                height: 20,
                width: 15,
                tooltipSettings: {
                    visible: true,
                    valuePath: 'name'
                }
            }
        ]
    }

provide: {
    maps: [Marker, MapsTooltip, PdfExport]

methods: {
     clickExport: function(args) {
        let map=document.getElementById('container');
        map.ej2_instances[0].export("PDF", "Maps", 0);
    }
}
}
</script>

The exporting of the Maps as base64 string is not supported for the PDF export.

Export the tile Maps

The rendered Maps with providers such as OSM, Bing and Google static Maps can be exported using the export method. It supports the following export formats.

  • JPEG
  • PNG
  • PDF
