Output
======
pygal can generate multiple output formats.
SVG
---
String
~~~~~~
The obvious output is the vectorial output in svg format:
.. code-block:: python
chart = pygal.Line()
...
chart.render() # Return the svg as bytes
It can be rendered as unicode when specifying ``is_unicode=True`` or when ``disable_xml_declaration`` is used
.. code-block:: python
chart = pygal.Line()
...
chart.render(is_unicode=True) # Return the svg as a unicode string
File
~~~~
You can also write the chart to a file using ``render_to_file``:
.. code-block:: python
chart = pygal.Line()
...
chart.render_to_file('/tmp/chart.svg') # Write the chart in the specified file
PNG
---
With cairosvg installed you can directly get the png file using ``render_to_png``:
.. code-block:: python
chart = pygal.Line()
...
chart.render_to_png('/tmp/chart.png') # Write the chart in the specified file
Etree
-----
It is possible to get the xml etree root element of the chart (or lxml etree node if lxml is installed) by calling the ``render_tree`` method:
.. code-block:: python
chart = pygal.Line()
...
chart.render_tree() # Return the svg root etree node
Browser
-------
With lxml installed you can use the ``render_in_browser`` method to magically make your chart appear in you default browser.
.. code-block:: python
chart = pygal.Line()
...
chart.render_in_browser()
PyQuery
-------
If pyquery is installed you can get the pyquery object wrapping the chart by calling ``render_pyquery``:
(This is mainly used for testing)
.. code-block:: python
chart = pygal.Line()
...
chart.render_pyquery() # Return pyquery object
Flask response
--------------
If you are using pygal in a flask app the ``render_response`` may come in handy:
.. code-block:: python
@app.route('/charts/line.svg')
def line_route():
chart = pygal.Line()
...
return chart.render_response()
Django response
---------------
Same thing for django with ``render_django_response``.
