Third vote for this, I want to be able to convert my interactive LineChart to a static
image. My chart is a Dual-Y axis chart which is not supported by the older Google Charts
API (which allows the generation of static PNG images)

Makes a lot of sense to include this in the Toolbar element (https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/toolbar)

Also looking forward to that. Seems like a must be thing for visualization component.

Unfortunately, this seems to take a very long time to create this. (More than 1,5 years
allready). 

I think this has a higher priority than low because in the previous chart API this
was a feature. Hypothetically, I would call this a bug for taking so long to place
the allready existing feature into this library.

Maybe it's nice to have some feedback whether or not there is being looked at this.

Agreed, it should be a higher priority, but enhancements only get low priority here.
 We do consider the number of stars, so do vote.  I can say we are hoping to give this
issue some time, but we have no specific plans yet.  Also the related issue 85 (saving
as PDF).

This is needed to use google charts on emails, or offline browsing. Without this feature,
google charts api shouldn't be discontinued!

Agreed - you should not be depreciating that charts api without including the ability
to save the chart in the updated version.  We use this feature a ton and really need
the ability.    Thanks.

Thanks for making this time-saving API! Google Charts is the cleanest and easiest to
implement JavaScript Charts API that I've come across. Problem is, I assumed it was
drawing the chart on an HTML5 canvas. I now understand that it instead uses vectors
to draw everything. While this feature has now been on the list for almost two years,
there are third party solutions that temporarily solve this. One is called grChartImg
which claims to convert Google Charts to images. That solution looks nice. 

I haven't tested this but, if you wanted implement your own, use something like XMLSerializer
to convert the SVG DOM object to a string then input that into CanVG to convert the
serialized string to an HTML5 Canvas. Call the canvas.toDataURL() to save it. With
that said, I would much appreciate if this feature were implemented in the API as a
utility function WITHOUT dependencies on third-party libraries!

This is a basic feature, I wonder how google skipped this.
