How to save svg canvas to local filesystem

Question

Is there a way to allow a user, after he has created a vector graph on a javascript svg canvas using a browser, to download this file to their local filesystem?

SVG

Answer 1

Yes is it possible. Use jquery.svg http://keith-wood.name/svgRef.html and post the svg xml data using the function svg.toSVG() (writing into a hidden field on submit). Have the php save and convert to raster using imagemagick (convert image.svg image.png) then force the file to download using header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream") and readfile the image.
