Hello, can you provide details? What should be exported?

[djouallah]

Data and visualisations, for an example see kepler.gl

Hi @djouallah - This seems like 2 feature requests. Let's look at each:

• Data export - We provide 2 sample datasets. Other than that, it's your own data. Not sure why SandDance would be exporting that which you already have? Are you looking to export the filtered data?
• Visualization export - Is a screenshot good enough? Are you looking for a higher resolution image?

[djouallah]

sorry, was not clear

I meant export an HTML that include the visuals and the data inline, basically a standalone self contained HTML.

screenshots is not enough as it is not interactive.

I use python altair to generate self contained HTML file, if I manage to use Sandance to do the same, it will be great.

the good example is https://charticulator.com/app/index.html which export HTML too.

Is offline access required? If not, you might be able to use the snapshot feature:

This lets you create a deep link to a filtered chart, like this

[djouallah]

ok, so how this works with my own data, where my data is saved ?

[danmarshall]

Easiest is if your data is accessible via url. Can you run a local web server?
For example https://www.npmjs.com/package/local-web-server

If not, then much more machinery would be involved.

[djouallah]

unfortunately no, no web server and the data is private, hence the standalone HTML

cheers Mate

Hi @djouallah - I'm looking at Altair's export to HTML feature and the example chart, which is a somewhat static chart.

Are you looking for just the SandDance chart, or are you looking for the full explorer with all the chrome?

[djouallah]

the full explorer with the data inline, the user interact with the visyals and filter and do stuff, but not necessary upload new data.

for altair, here is an example I made, it is fully interactive

Seems the data is online, in a gist:

here is the same example with inline data

Linking this to #36 as it seems related

Thanks for the feature request. This is now live at https://sanddance.js.org/app/

find the export button at the bottom of the Data Browser tab:

Then, choose HTML as your file format.

[djouallah]

Hi, why don't I have this button?

[danmarshall]

@Timaos123 this capability is part of our web app but is not built in to the sanddance-explorer or sanddance-embed components (as not all contexts allow “downloads”). Where/how are you using SandDance?
