We would like to write a javascript code to save a map (with layers) as an image file. We do not have desktop, but have an AGOL account. The help community points at utility.arcgis.com (printing - Setting up ArcGIS Print service for ArcGIS Online account? - Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange). Can anyone give us more pointers on how to exactly use the utility.arcgis.com's print service? Thank you
Shawn,
Sampleserver6 is a publicly accessible server. You do not need your own.
Thanks but I do not have the server installed. I have to try replacing " 'http://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Utilities/PrintingTools/GPServer/Export Web Map Task'" with the utility.arcgis.com link.
You can create an image client-side using HTML canvas. See this project: GitHub - WSDOT-GIS/arcgis-map-thumbnail-builder: Exports an image of an ArcGIS API for JavaScript map.
Here is some code snippet I use for that:
