<button id = "image"> export image </button>
<button id = "pdf"> export pdf </button>
<div id="chartdiv"></div>
Now I want to use my own button to export chart as image or pdf using default amcharts functionality , is it possible ?
No problem. You can use the export API.
In your example, just add event listeners and call chart.exporting.export()
in your handlers:
