[Feature] Set Dimensions for Downloaded Images in saveAsImage

[fzoboli]

What problem does this feature solve?

The current saveAsImage function in Apache ECharts allows users to download charts as images, but the dimensions are based on the chart's display size in the browser. This can lead to suboptimal image quality, especially on different screen resolutions.

I propose adding options to specify the width and height for the downloaded image. This would ensure images are always in an optimal format for printing or sharing.

Benefits:

1. More control over image quality and dimensions.
2. Consistent representation of charts regardless of display size.
3. Enhanced usability for presentations and reports.

What does the proposed API look like?

Example Usage:

saveAsImage({ type: 'png', // Image type width: 800, // Desired width pixelRatio: 1 // Image resolution });

adding options to specify the width and height for the downloaded image

Isn't pixelRatio supposed to handle that - Demo.

Hi Helgasoft!
using pixelRatio I can only update ratio between height and width, not define the exact dimension. E.g., 1800x450.

Is it my understanding correct?

Thanks for help!

Allowing exact dimensions could lead to warped ratio of original image. I doubt this is a valuable feature for a charting library.
OTOH, saved image could be post-processed to any size with external tools.
