Image Services

Web API Studio Edition supports image export services for MVC and Wijmo 5 controls. Available as Visual Studio template, C1 Web API enables you to create Web API service on Visual Studio. Client applications then send a request to the Web API service application to export MVC and Wijmo 5 controls as an image. The service supports image export to PNG, JPG, BMP, TIFF, and GIFF formats.

While you are working with the image services for exporting MVC or Wijmo5 controls, you need to add phantomjs.exe file to your service application.
