Export PNG image for publishing #110

Open mikekucera opened 2 years ago

mikekucera commented 2 years ago

Description of new feature

Motivation for new feature

So users can add a network image to their publication. PDF is especially useful because it allows the network to be further annotated in 3rd party software such as Illustrator.

Is there a way to generate a PNG or any kind of thumbnail on the server in headless mode?

maxkfranz commented 2 years ago

Server: cytosnap

Client: cy.png()

If the user is just downloading the image, client-side image generation has some benefits over server-side image generation (speed, lower server usage, etc.).

Changed this issue to be just for PNG export. PDF/SVG export is now part of a larger discussion.

Assuming requirement of 300 dpi figures within PDF papers of letter size (8.5” x 11”) :

That should work within the browser limitations for local image export size.
