Change DPI in exportImg method

wedersoncabrla — Wed, 19 Jul 2023 21:59:32 GMT

Hello!

In the help page we can only choose the format, height and width, but when we export the object as image in the interface we have a propertie to change the DPI.

Can i change the DPI value using the exportImg method in visualization API?

Hi @wedersoncabrla could you please show me where is this property? Anyway, that property is not documented and is not supported. It means that if you are going to use it, you could receive errors in future releases.

Ok this is using another API behind the scene, not available at the moment in the Client Managed version of our product (are you using this version right, not the SaaS one?). So you cannot define the DPI if you are using exportImage method

Yes, i'm using Qlik Sense on Windows.

But if Qlik make a call to this API in my version to generate the image, that means that i can call this API too, right?

I just would need what is the parameters :[

Yes you can make the same API call, but it is not supported in CM version. About parameters, you can see here where there is some information

@alex_colombo Is this going to be changed any time soon? I would really like to change the DPI such that everything scales properly. It should be a very easy change as @peter_noindl pointed out in this question: https://community.qlik.com/t5/Suggest-an-Idea/Api-Resolution-configurable-in-ExportImg/idi-p/1722166

I also tried to reverse engineer the API but I got stuck and now I have no way of exporting to an image correctly

@julianPraktikon don't if this will change sooner. You can change the DPI using Reports APIs (link in one of my last asnwers)
