Hi Everyone,
Iยดm trying out the snapshot() expression for a chart but the image is not complete and is cutting off the X axis completely:

We adjust some of the css when generating snapshots to remove some of the appearance of the appview. There were some changes to css elsewhere which were conflicting with this. This was corrected, andI I missed updating you.
SNAPSHOT() is busted, theyโre working on replacing it, but it wonโt be soonโฆ
FYI @Grant_Stead We have updated the functionality few months ago so it should give you a correct result.
Well, my last contact with Joshua via Support for SNAPSHOT was Aug 20. And Iโm supposed to be on early beta for the new versionโฆ That ticket was established in June, and weโre leaving it open as a reminderโฆ So yes, in June Joshua was working on it, but the final conclusion was to replace not repairโฆ
I mean, I could be way off hereโฆ
Gotcha. My assumption was that your were talking about the beta version which we launched years ago. Sorry, I misunderstood your post.
@Nicolas_Feldman Would you please send a support ticket with details to support@appsheet.com. Thanks.
The only real piece of advice that I have to @Nicolas_Feldman the OP is to either, shoot in a support ticket, and also wait. Or roll your own.
Iโm currently doing this to replace a link to filtered view snapshot expression.
Web hook a loaded Google chart HTML packet to integromat, pass it to https://htmlcsstoimage.com/ then get the URL response from integromat api back to appsheet, then run a collection and trigger your template report from there after collating the images of the charts you needโฆ
The upside is that youโll actually have an image of your chart that you can include in fun places throughout your app! Also, once you get good at this, you can build things that appsheet doesnโt support, like Gantt charts.
Currently, itโs about 6 steps in Appsheet, 3 in integromat, and each image can take a few seconds to make the loopโฆ I would share the video, but itโs client work.
Thanks so Much @Grant_Stead and @Aleksi for your answers! I appreciate it.
I will try both options: support ticket, and the option Grant mentioned, which Iยดve never done before. But seems like a nice challenge.
Do any of you know if there is a Post or Sample App to learn how to do this?
If you need maybe a more simple solutionโฆ https://quickchart.io/
I always forget about quick chart!
