Exported Image does not display the chart itself

Wladi

Hi all,

some of my colleagues and I have a issue to export an img as svg or png/jpeg. The chart itself is always missing while the RapidMiner  Studio is still visible. I have 12 dimensions, but only 10 selected.

First picture is the exported picture and the second a screenshot.

thanks in advance

Hi,

Unfortunately those two do not work together for technical reasons.
Technical detail: The visualizations are rendered as a heavyweight component via native OS rendering functions, and it's impossible to paint those using the lighweight Java2D API.
I also know that the export button is not there for Scatter Matrix as that is a matrix of individual charts and the hamburger belongs to an individual chart.
There is a silver lining though: You can export images of all visualizations via the Reporting Extension. I know that this is not a very user-friendly way, but it's right now the only way. There will be better ways to get images out of the visualizations in the future, but that is still a bit away.

Regards,
Marco

Hi @Wladi,

some quick questions to potentially boil down the issue:

What mechanism did you use for exporting the image? The sandwich menu highlighted in your second screen shot?

Does it happen with all mentioned file formats?

What operating system and Studio version are you using?

I'm asking all this, because I tried and failed to reproduce your problem so far.

Best,
David

Hey David,

thank you for you quick answer.

I did File->Print/Export Image and it doesn't work, i also tried today. Yea for all formats and i am using win 10 64bit with RapidMiner Studio Educational 9.6.000

I figured out, that it is working if i use the sandwich menu on a scatter or histogram. But if i want a scatter matrix, the menu isn't visible.

Best regards,

Indeed, the export menu isn't visible for the Scatter matrix.

@Marco_Boeck do you have any ideas, why the regular export could not be working?

Thank you very much @David_A for tagging Marco and thank you @Marco_Boeck for the detailed answer, i think i will find a way to present my solutions, there are a lot of possibilities 

Best regards from germany and stay healthy,
