How would I adapt @ghettovoice JSFiddle that saves a map to PDF to save the map to a JPEG or PNG? I have no idea how to attempt this problem so ideally if you know hoe to do it you can explain the logic behind it.
exportMap: function () {
var map = this.$refs.map
map.once('rendercomplete', function () {
var mapCanvas = document.createElement('canvas');
var size = map.getSize();
mapCanvas.width = size[0];
mapCanvas.height = size[1];
var mapContext = mapCanvas.getContext('2d');
Array.prototype.forEach.call(
document.querySelectorAll('.ol-layer canvas'),
function (canvas) {
if (canvas.width > 0) {
var opacity = canvas.parentNode.style.opacity;
mapContext.globalAlpha = opacity === '' ? 1 : Number(opacity);
var transform = canvas.style.transform;
// Get the transform parameters from the style's transform matrix
var matrix = transform
.match(/^matrix\(([^(]*)\)$/)[1]
.split(',')
.map(Number);
// Apply the transform to the export map context
CanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype.setTransform.apply(
mapContext,
matrix
);
mapContext.drawImage(canvas, 0, 0);
}
}
);
if (navigator.msSaveBlob) {
// link download attribuute does not work on MS browsers
navigator.msSaveBlob(mapCanvas.msToBlob(), 'map.png');
} else {
var link = document.getElementById('image-download');
link.href = mapCanvas.toDataURL();
link.click();
}
});
map.renderSync();
}
The problem was a combination of missing dependencies (namely FileSaver.js and fakerator.js) and a cross origin server block (CORS block) (Browsers automatically prevent httpRequests to a different domain name unless the server allows it). The first one is fixed by installing the packages while the second one is resolved by setting the crossOrigin Attribute of the ImageWMSLayer to
null
in my case but possibly to 'Anonymous' for other sources. Hope this helped someone else :)
