Is it possible to take a print from the Portal

Question

Hello All,
Is it possible to take a print out from the Portal.
Let me be  more clear about the case:
We have designed some charts (Time Scatter) in our WebDynpro projects and displayed it in the Portal. Now, the Team is enquiring if the Print out of the generated charts could be taken from the portal by providing a button. Or else they will have to save the chart as an image and take a print out.
Please let me know how can it be done if possible.
Points will be awarded.

hi....
Follow the code given below !!
The print functionality can be included by writing a Separate PortalComponent and calling the component when the print button is clicked on any page.
In the JSP call the print cmponent By using
<%@ page import="com.sapportals.portal.prt.service.urlgenerator.IUrlGeneratorService"%>
<%@ page import="com.sapportals.portal.prt.service.urlgenerator.specialized.IPortalUrlGenerator"%>
<%@ page import="com.sapportals.portal.prt.service.urlgenerator.specialized.ISpecializedUrlGenerator"%>
For instance :
Include code like this in all your jsps
<%
try {
IUrlGeneratorService urlGen =(IUrlGeneratorService) componentRequest.getService(IUrlGeneratorService.KEY);
// get Specialized Portal Url Generator
IPortalUrlGenerator portalGen = null;
ISpecializedUrlGenerator specUrlGen =urlGen.getSpecializedUrlGenerator(IPortalUrlGenerator.KEY);
if (specUrlGen instanceof IPortalUrlGenerator)
portalGen = (IPortalUrlGenerator) specUrlGen;
printUrl =portalGen.generatePortalComponentUrl(
componentRequest,
"<ProjectName>.<PrintComponent>");// calling the Print Component
} catch (Exception e) {
response.write("EXception---"+e.getMessage());
%>
Hold the bean values in the HttpSession.
