Azure Maps Image Exporter module

A module for the Azure Maps Web SDK that generates screenshots of the map.

Important

In order for this module to work, the maps preserveDrawingBuffer must be set to true when the map is initally loaded and can't be set afterwards.

Note that the screenshot is only of the rendered map canvas, other HTML elements, such as HTML markers and controls are not rendered on the image. Native rendering layers such as BubbleLayer, SymbolLayer, LineLayer, PolygonLayer, ImageLayer, and TileLayer are supported.
