Quick Export to .JPG Widget

AlexSanders1 — Wed, 26 Jul 2017 20:08:04 GMT

I am trying to find a widget for the WAB that is similar to what Robert's export map widget from the flex viewers. http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=12430e982e534fdabe15635828405e45

Thanks for any assistance!

Alex,

The JS API does not do this like the Flex API did. There is no ability to capture the map without using some canvas methods that are not well supported yet or using the PrintTask. I use the PrintTask in my parcel reports since it works well for capturing an image of the map. I have not developed a widget for this though. There is one out there that goes down the Canvas method route but I have not been able to get it working well.

Thank you for the reply Robert, that is what I was thinking with the js apps is that it is not going to work the same way. I'll check back on the message boards to see if any enhancements are made to Kevin's screen shot widget to get it to work in the 2.x versions of WAB.
