%%chart export to SVG or PNG #783

Open VelizarVESSELINOV opened 8 years ago

It will be nice if the chart generated can be easily stored as SVG or PNG like using the other chart libraries.

At the very least, when you save the notebook it is stored in SVG - but that gets replaced by the dynamic version when you load the notebook again. It is what allows charts to be viewable when viewing Datalab .ipynbs on Github.

Sorry, I meant PNG.

I also found a workaround like to do a screenshot, but it is not something easy to automate. Same for the save notebook to extract a plot as PNG.

I'm going to try to submit a PR for this. I think this feature would be helpful for users that want to build dashboards outside of Datalab.
