Native Browser Save image and Copy Image for chart

[kaushik25]

Hi,

I currently see that when I use browser right click and save image/ copy image for a canvasjs chart, it is just a dot and does not reflect the original chart. Do you have any plans to support this and fix the issue. I do know that Canvasjs supports an explicit exportchart button which can be used to save the chart, but I wanted to see if there is any plan to support native browser Save image by using right click on the chart.

How to reproduce the issue:

Right click on the chart and use Save Image as and save it. Open the image. See that the image is just a dot.

Thank you,
Kaushik.

@kaushik25,

The chart contains multiple Canvas elements, in which the topmost Canvas element is being exported while saving/copying the image using the browser’s right-click. However, you can create a custom contextual menu and add exportChart method to export the chart as an image using right-click.

Kindly take a look at this JSFiddle for an example on the same.
