HTML report : poor / small diagrams generated
« on: September 28, 2019, 12:14:42 am »
Would like to be used that HTML report, for now one problem I have is that the diagram image sizes it generates, for some reason, are too small or not as good as they would be if I just copied to clipboard and pasted do a doc - that quality is great, and I see where/who to adjust that. It also prints good size/quality do a PDF or RTF or MS doc.

But for HTML .. no, it puts small size images, which when you try to magnify in browser, are just . .sorry to say are just way too blurry to  be of use.

So where / how can I adjust this? I would like it to use the same quality images as if I c&p them.

My EA is ver 15.

And another thing,

Is that the only HTML creator available for EA?  I mean , what it generates as I understand requires MS Windows Active X, Explorer, or such support. Which isn't optimal for me, best is something which wouldn't rely on this.

Any options ..?

There are a few places where there are settings related to diagram images.
Anyway, when I do a HTML export the diagram images are large enough and can be zoomed in without getting blurry.

I don't think the HTML export requires anything special. Just make sure to host it on a server. Chrome does not allow you to run Javascript from local html files.
(there is an option to start Chrome with an parameter to allow this as well, but that is not secure)

Ok, which places?

Server, or not :  I examine the size of the actual png files that it generates and puts into the HTML folder with all other report files. Its very small, and, what I was trying to explain, it is different to size when I just copy & paste the same diagram, or , save to file / image.   Those then, - when saved individually - do get proper size, and in fact, that scaling option , from settings, does work.

But , I see no option of how I can increase the quality of those images for the HTML report.  Where ?   If you know, please tell me where.

That is nice, but I need then to fix it in my EA then.

Chrome or not, the story is the same... (i mean, same image files are rendered).  But yes, I do test in Explorer, Edge, and Chrome with the plugin required (there is a plug-in which allows you to render it locally too).

No luck.  So if someone knows where all those settings are -  I refer specifically to ones which affect the image quality for the HTML - please share  / tell me.  I cannot find any that work.

The ones that don't see to do anything is the image scaling settings + max image size - those do only affect my copy& paste image, but NOT for my HTML generated images.

Unfortunatly this topic remained dormend since 2019.

The HTML export function is useless at its current state.
Images with default (font) sizes are NOT readable.
This MUST be an HTML exporter option as it is already when exporting single diagrams manually as images (up to 400%).
Not providing an SVG export is outdated enough, unreadable diagram exports are unacceptable.

Please add this option!
Thank you

The existing HTML export is useful, if you manage to find the correct combination of settings.
A lot of my clients are happy users of the HTML export. They can read the diagrams just fine, and zoom in where needed.

I'm glad you found a solution for this problem.
Would you mind sharing it?
I'd like to hear about any settings affecting the image quality for the HTML export.

I didn't find a solution because I never had the problem in the first place.

I only wanted to inform you that there is a solution, and that there are lots of happy users.

I would suggest to contact sparx support for help with your specific problem.

Halloy.
I dont know what parameters is specifik for HTML publishing, but I have no problem with dizzy Web-pictures

There is several places where "Image" controlls is configured
- Preferences:
-- Image Memory Limit = 512
-- Zoom to best scale
-- Scale saved bitmap to = 150%
-- Image Quality = High
--
- Each diagram settings:
-- Page Setup : Scale to 1 page

I use "Scale diagram to full page", High Image Quality
