3 years ago Using a print CSS for this is not a comprehensive solution, since the print CSS will not be able to handle corner-cases that arise for different screen breakpoints when using ui.layout().
We should design this properly as part of ui.layout() e.g. have a breakpoint-agnostic print layout mode.
This is not a priority right now - let's tackle this after we have prebuilt templates in place (#38).
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
H2O Wave is a great tool for building beautiful, browser-based applications and dashboards. It would be very useful to have an option to generate a PDF version of any of the wave app screens. Providing support for printing via the browser by capturing the wave components is a good option. Currently, print capture only the visible part of the page. With this users can capture the client-side state changes without a hassle. (ex: changes made to the interactive plots on the client-side)
Describe the solution you'd like
Support printing via the browser. This can be achieved by introducing appropriate CSS rules to @media print section.
