hmRep_REPORT TO SVG ( Area ; Blob)

Introduced in v1.0, Preemptive: yes

Parameter	Type	In/Out	Description
Area	Longint	→	Area reference
Blob	Longint	←	SVG Blob

Description

The command hmRep_REPORT TO SVG outputs the current report area as a SVG picture. The blob contains uncompressed text in UTF-8. With the 4D command BLOB TO PICTURE you can easily convert it into a picture variable.

The command does not print the report into an SVG blob. The command only draws the objects of the report into SVG. The command is the same as hmRep_Report To Picture with the difference, that this command puts the SVG into a blob and not into a picture variable.

Example

The following example exports the current report as SVG:

var $vx_blob : Blob

SET BLOB SIZE($vx_blob; 0)
hmRep_REPORT TO SVG(reparea; $vx_blob)
