Problem with saving QChartView as vector image file

I using the QChartView to plot two-line series.Attachment 13640

To save this graph, I am using the following code. Although it works fine when I save it as a .png file. However, when I try to save it as .svg format it doesn't do anything.

Can anybody tell me what might be the issue?

Code:

---

QString path = QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(this, tr("Save as image"), "", tr("Image (*.svg *.png);;All Files (*.*);;"));
   if (path.isEmpty()) {
       qDebug() << "USER DID NOT SELECT the PATH!!!!!";
       return;
   }
   QImage img((chartView->size()), QImage::Format_ARGB32);
   QPainter painter;
   painter.begin(&img);
   chartView->render(&painter);
   painter.setRenderHint(QPainter::Antialiasing);
   painter.end();
   img.save(path);

Have you included SVG support in your project? It isn't built-in like PNG.

The procedure for rendering SVG is not the same as rendering a pixmap image. Look at QSvgRenderer and QSvgGenerator and the SVG Generator example.
