Feature request : create data URIs to get charts as PNG images

Opened this issue · 1 comments

Hi,
Most of the google charts have a getImageURI() method that allows the retrieval of a PNG image encoded as data:image/ URI. See https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/printing

It would be nice if the tags in the taglib could have an attribute like "data-uri=true" that would produce the URI string instead of generating the graph itself.

That would allow for example to embed a graph in an email. Sorry if the plugin already does this but I didn't find anything mentioning it in the documentation.

I will have a look when I have the time. BTW PRs are welcome! :-)
