Export graphics #120

Open esheehan-gsl opened 2 years ago

Problem

Visualizations need to be included in presentations, papers, etc.

Solution

Support export of graphics to PNG.

Exported graphics will need to include information about the model, initialization time, etc. These fields are not included in the charts in the application, because it is applied to the UI as a whole.

No Gos

Describe any features or behaviors that have been considered and rejected as out of scope for this project.

Rabbit Holes

Image size. The charts in the UI change dimensions based on the viewport size. How do we give control over the final graphic to the users?

If we're creating visualizations for use in presentations, papers, & etc... it might be worthwhile to explore supporting CITATION.cff files at the same time so our software can be properly cited.
