I created a screen with several graphics using google Charts, but I need to print/export to pdf, xls, printer, only from everything I searched on the net I haven’t found anything yet, does anyone know somehow how I could do it?

From the most basic example, can anyone give me a light?!

<html>
  <head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["corechart"]});
      google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
      function drawChart() {

        var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
          ['Task', 'Hours per Day'],
          ['Work',     11],
          ['Eat',      2],
          ['Commute',  2],
          ['Watch TV', 2],
          ['Sleep',    7]
        ]);

        var options = {
          title: 'My Daily Activities'
        };

        var chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(document.getElementById('piechart'));

        chart.draw(data, options);
      }
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="piechart" style="width: 900px; height: 500px;"></div>
  </body>
</html>

Do you want to print #piechart only? You’ve tried "@media" and window.print?

I need to print both the #piechart and other elements that have as titles and texts, but in this example that I passed would be only the graphics generated. And I haven’t tried using @media yet, do you have an example for the case? Valew

You say export to "printer", it doesn’t really make sense to me, but I’ll assume you just want to print with Ctrl + P or that the browser print dialog is called directly.

If that’s really it, then you can just call window.print():

google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["corechart"]});
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);

function drawChart() {
    var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
        ['Task', 'Hours per Day'],
        ['Work',     11],
        ['Eat',      2],
        ['Commute',  2],
        ['Watch TV', 2],
        ['Sleep',    7]
    ]);

    var options = {
        title: 'My Daily Activities'
    };

    var chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(document.getElementById('piechart'));

    chart.draw(data, options);
}

document.getElementById("print").onclick = function() {
    window.print();
};

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<div id="piechart" style="width: 900px; height: 500px;"></div>
<button id="print">Imprimir</button>

You can also use the @media to hide all elements (if your Chart is on a page with "several things") and print. It would look something like:

@media print {
    body {
         visibility: hidden;
    }

    #piechart {
         visibility: visible;
    }
}

But I can also assume that maybe you want to say something else like "export to printer", maybe you just really wanted to export with the intention of generating a document as PDF, even in the part you talk about printer, then the solution would be the jsPDF.

To use jsPDF with SVG (your Chart is an SVG :) ) you probably need to use the plugin sillysvgrenderer (is in the repository itself). An example of how to add SVG with the plugin would be:

var doc = new jsPDF();
var chart = document.querySelector("#piechart svg");
var sourcecode = new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(chart);

//Adiciona o SVG
doc.addSVG(sourcecode, 15, 15);

//Download do arquivo
doc.save("sample-file.pdf");
