toyplot/io module

The toyplot/io module contains functionality for exporting data from the viewer’s browser.

toyplot/io.save_file(mime_type, charset, data, filename)

Save data from the viewer’s browser to a file. For example:

context.require(
    dependencies=["toyplot/tables", "toyplot/io"],
    code="""function(tables, io)
    {
        var data = tables.get_csv("my-graph", "vertices");
        io.save_file("text/csv", "utf-8", data, "my-graph-vertices.csv");
    }""")

Note that the behavior of individual browsers when saving files will vary - they may-or-may not prompt the user to choose an alternate filename, or offer to open the file in some other application instead.

Arguments:

• mime_type – String MIME type of the data to be saved (e.g. “text/csv”).
• charset – String character encoding of the data to be saved (e.g. “utf-8”).
• data – String data to be saved.
• filename – Suggested filename string to use for saving the data to disk.
