I´m using a Chart Generator to create pie and bar charts, and I need to insert them into an email created with Emailer inside the proper HTML syntaxis.

I tried to write the charts into a png writer but I cannot link it to a parameter so it can be there.

I also tried to set the image into a sharepoint (corporate) and use the url to link the image but it still do not work.

 

Any thoughts?

Hi @armando_amador​,

You can write the chart as a PNG using the FeatureWriter, then embed the PNG into HTML using the HTMLReportGenerator:

The folder will be deleted once the workspace finishes, but the image will have been embedded into the HTML by then. This removes the need for any manual cleanup.

I am attaching a workspace snippet to illustrate the process.
