Excel chart.getImage() still works, but now ignores resizing parameters

[AndrewHallAP]

chart.getImage() has worked fine for several years. But just recently, it started to ignore the optional parameters, so the image can no longer be re-sized. chart.getImage() without the parameters still works fine. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/excel/excel.chart?view=excel-js-preview#excel-excel-chart-getimage-member(2)

Your Environment

• Platform: PC desktop
• Host: Excel
• Office version number: 16.0.17029.20108
• Operating System: Windows 10 or 11

Expected behavior

I expect the optional parameters to re-size the image (as it previously did).

Current behavior

It now ignores the optional parameters.

Steps to reproduce

1. Add a chart/graph to Excel
2. Paste the Script and HTML below into Script Lab
3. Click run. Notice the 2 displayed PNG charts are the same size.

Link to live example(s)

$("#run").click(() => tryCatch(setup));
async function setup() {
  await Excel.run(async (context) => {
    let chart = context.workbook.worksheets.getActiveWorksheet().charts.getItemAt(0);
    let image1 = chart.getImage();
    let image2 = chart.getImage(50,50,null);  //it ignores the optional width, height, fit parameters (any combination). The parameters worked great for several years, until recently.
    await context.sync();
    var srcImage1 = "data:image/png;base64, " + image1.value;
    var srcImage2 = "data:image/png;base64, " + image2.value;
    $("#image1").attr("src", srcImage1);
    $("#image2").attr("src", srcImage2);
  });
}
async function tryCatch(callback) {
  try {
    await callback();
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

<p class="ms-font-m">Shows the 2 chart images below</p>
<button id="run" class="ms-Button">
    <span class="ms-Button-label">Run</span>
</button><br/>
<img id="image1" src="" alt="" />
<img id="image2" src="" alt="" />

Context

Many customers use the getImage() to transfer chart images from Excel to Word or PowerPoint using the Excel-to-Word Document Automation Add-in. And some want to be able to re-size the images (improve resolution).

Thanks @AndrewHallAP for reporting this. I could reproduce, and created internal task 8653788 to track. Will update here for progress.

Some of our customers still complain that this isn't working and it is not working yet for me. Has the fix been released to production or do you know when it will be?
