feature request: Exporting svg from chart

[prompteus]

I'm aware of saveToGallery, saveToPath and getDrawBitmap methods, but a vector-based format like svg would be nice.

@PhilJay Any update on this? This would be an incredibly useful feature, e.g. for including the plots from screen in generated pdf reports.

Just in case someone else is looking for solution to a similar problem, I found a work-around. Using android.graphics.pdf, one can store the chart view as a vector-based format in pdf with

fun printView2PDF(content: View, outFile:File){
        // create a new document
        val document = PdfDocument();

        // crate a page description
        val pageInfo = PdfDocument.PageInfo.Builder(
            content.measuredWidth, content.measuredHeight,1)
            .create();

        // start a page
        val page = document.startPage(pageInfo);

        // draw something on the page
        content.draw(page.getCanvas());

        // finish the page
        document.finishPage(page);
        document.writeTo(FileOutputStream(outFile));
        // close the document
        document.close();
    }
