Miguel Gaspar

Miguel Gaspar started working at Webdetails about 3 years ago, some time before the acquisition of Webdetails by Pentaho. He was a consultant in the Implementation team and his work involved developing dashboard solutions as part of services. He is now acting as the technical owner of some of the Implementations projects as part of the Webdetails team in Pentaho. He likes to be as professional as possible, but in an informal way. One of his favorite hobbies is learning and his particular areas of interest are: business analytics, predictive analysis and big data, augmented reality, and cloud computing. He likes to play and is a huge martial arts fan and also one of the worst soccer players ever. He is married and a parent of two young and lovely daughters, who would like to spend more time playing like crazies with him. He also likes to spend time with friends or just having a drink and a good talk with someone else, if possible with his family at his side. He really hates liars.

CGG – Community Graphics Generator


CGG is a plugin that allows you to export CCC charts in CDE dashboards as images. CGG will generate the image on the server side, and that's the reason why you will see some JavaScript files related to the charts to be exported. Every time you set a chart to be exportable, it will be provided with a URL that you can use to export the image. This means you can see the generated images of the charts you can embed inside any other dashboard/report/page.

When editing a CDE dashboard, you can press Shift + G, which is a shortcut to get to a dialog with a list of charts in the dashboard. By selecting a chart, you will be enabling the option to export the chart using CGG. You can see this in the following image:

The previous image also shows the URL button, which you can click to get the link to use for the export. For example, for one of the examples provided with the book, the link to the chart will be: http://<server>:<port>/pentaho/plugin/cgg/api...
