Saving PNG to created directory

CoxPorcupine721 — Thu, 12 Dec 2024 17:21:33 GMT

I would like to save "pngs" into my created directory. When I run the script the directory folder is made but the PNGs aren't saved because I'm not sure how to word the pathing. What syntax should I use?

baseDir = "C:\temp\";
dir = baseDir || Substitute(MDYHMS(Today()), "/", "-", ":", ".");

CreateDirectory(dir);

gb=Graph Builder(
	Size( 876, 598 ),
	Show Control Panel( 0 ),
	Variables(
		X( :site ),
		Y( :VBD ),
		Group X( :wfr, Size( 57 ) ),
		Group Y( :size ),
		Color( :size )
	),
	Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 22 ) ) ),
	Local Data Filter(
		Close Outline( 1 ),
		Add Filter(
			columns( :size, :metal ),
			Where( :size == {"861.0x0.18", "863.5x0.18", "1014.0x0.144"} ),
			Where( :metal == {"M1", "M2", "M3"} ),
			Display( :size, N Items( 6 ) )
		)
	),
	SendToReport(
		Dispatch( {}, "", ScaleBox,
			{Min( -0.119090909090909 ), Max( 5.12090909090909 ), Inc( 1 ),
			Minor Ticks( 1 )}
		),
		Dispatch( {}, "400", ScaleBox,
			{Legend Model(
				22,
				Level Name( 0, "Metal 2- 861.0x0.18", Item ID( "861.0x0.18", 1 ) ),
				Level Name( 1, "Metal 3- 863.5x0.18", Item ID( "863.5x0.18", 1 ) ),
				Level Name(
					2,
					"Metal 1- 1014.0x0.144",
					Item ID( "1014.0x0.144", 1 )
				)
			)}
		),
		Dispatch( {}, "graph title", TextEditBox, {Set Text( "Vbd - Narrow" )} ),
		Dispatch( {}, "X title", TextEditBox, {Set Text( "Site" )} ),
		Dispatch( {}, "Y title", TextEditBox, {Set Text( "Volts" )} ),
		Dispatch( {}, "400", LegendBox, {Set Title( "Metals" )} )
	)
);
	
	report(gb)<<save picture( dir || "Vbd-Wide.png", "png" );

The path you are specifying is incorrect.

"C:\temp\12-12-2024 12.04.31 PMVbd-Wide.png"

It contains blanks and there is not a "\" between the directory path and the file name

Thank you!

I also found a different solution by replacing last line with this:

filePath = dir || "\Vbd-Wide.png";
gb << Save Picture(filePath, "png");
