How to customize header and footer in Vue Diagram printing?

This article explains how to customize the header and footer in Vue Diagram printing. Headers and footers, located in the top and bottom margins of each page, respectively, are essential elements in document formatting. When the header and footer option is enabled in the print dialog box, these sections become visible.

The Vue Diagram offers the capability to export its content, with the client-side method exportDiagram facilitating this process.

Customizing the header and footer involves adding personalized content, including elements like time, date, or even adjusting the position of the content within the header and footer. This customization occurs in the print window. Refer to the code snippet below to understand how to achieve custom printing while exporting the diagram using exportDiagram.

Note:
To use Print and Export, you need to inject PrintAndExport into the diagram.

function toolbarClick(args: ClickEventArgs): void {
if (args.item.text === 'Print') {
var image;
var options: IExportOptions = {};
options.mode = 'Data';
options.region = 'Content';
options.pageOrientation = 'Portrait';
options.multiplePage = false;
image = diagram.exportDiagram(options);
printImages(image, options);
   }
}


function printImages(url: any, options: any) {
var _this: any = diagram.printandExportModule;
var attr = {
id: diagram.element.id + '_printImage',
src: url
   };
options.margin = { top: 0, bottom: 0, right: 0, left: 0 };
var img = createHtmlElement('img', attr);
img.onload = function() {
var div = _this.getMultipleImage(img, options);
var printWind = window.open('');
if (printWind != null) {
if (div instanceof HTMLElement) {
printWind.document.write(
'
// Customised header
<div class="upper">Syncfusion Diagram control</div>
// Customised Footer
<div class="absolute">Page No: 1</div>'
         );
printWind.document.write(
''
         );
printWind.document.write('<center>' + div.innerHTML + '</center>');
printWind.document.close();
       }
     }
   };
 }
​

The default date and page number can be prevented by adding the following content in CSS or in Style

<style>

@page { size: auto;  margin: 0mm; }

</style>
