RE: [amibroker] jScripts to produce and save PNG plots.

that was an interesting conversation "we" had...
 
Now that you've RTFM   I'm sorry to report that I know of no easy way to do what you want via a script.
 
What is the end goal for the image? If its to display for someone you could:
 
send the image along with an html that will resize it before it displays.  Something like this:
 
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0">
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60">
</head>
<Body>
<BODY TEXT="#FFFFFF" LINK="#0000FF" VLINK="#800080" ALINK="#C000C0" BGCOLOR="#000000">
<div align="center"><img src=""http://files.wtoc.com/weather/radar/dopplermax.jpg">http://files.wtoc.com/weather/radar/dopplermax.jpg" width="546" height="385">
The last line has the path for the image (could be a diskfile) and the width and height thingys give the resultant image dimensions.

For those of you bored with this trail, sorry, hit delete.  The method does save the image but still need
image size adjustments.
 
Apologize for not testing it first before asking questions, but any help would be appreciated/
 
  AB.ActiveWindow.ExportImage("Test.png");    
 
Best regards

Hi Dingo - Before you say RTFM, (;>  I found your slide show script with what looks like to be all the
elements of doing what I want, except to save the image.  I need to find the source of the documentation
on the ActiveWindow object.

Ah! I found a clue to how I might be able to do this. (it was in my own Infoselect database) but could use additional help

in how to manage the image size if possible.  

Best regards

Joe

 

 

Example script:

AB = new ActiveXObject("Broker.Application");

AB.ActiveWindow.ExportImage("Test.png");

Subject: [amibroker] jScripts to produce and save PNG plots.

Hi Gents: (Fred, Dingo, Dan)
 
I'd like to produce 5 plots produced from 5 equity composites for a web site.
I'm tracking "guru" stock pickers on a web site and I'd like to automate the production of the image
display of their record on a weekly basis.
 
Being a real "code monkey", I know how to string batch steps using jScript to produce these equity curves(ATCs),
but I'd like to automate and produce, save the PNG images in order that I could post them and display them on the web site.
I know this was discussed several months ago when it came to controlling the shape/size of the png image but I can't find the
discussion nor the object/method in the COM model that will give me the hooks to do this.  (I promise, I 
googled it on purebytes and couldn't find it but maybe it's more recent than that).  Fred in IO is able to drive this function
to produce the backtest version of the equity plot, but my requirement is more simple than that.
 
I guess if the image had an Amibroker watermark/attribution it would be all the better for the author and community. (;>
 
Thanks in advance
JOE
