To export only the canvas as an image in JavaScript, you can use the built-in toDataURL() method of the <canvas> element. Here's an example code snippet:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
// Get the canvas element
var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
// Get the data URL of the canvas
var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
// Create a new image element
var img = new Image();
// Set the src attribute of the image element to the data URL
img.src = dataURL;
// Create a new window to display the image
var win = window.open();
win.document.write('<img src="' + img.src + '" />');

In the above code snippet, replace 'myCanvas' with the ID of your canvas element. This code will create a new image with the contents of the canvas and display it in a new window. You can also save the data URL to a file or use it in any other way you like.
