	Convert HTML5 ~~canvas to image~~		How to Convert & Download HTML5 Canvas as Image

	~~<pre>~~		== Steps to convert HTML5 Canvas to Image ==
			1. Visit any webpage containing HTML5 Canvas elements (Example: [https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_canvas.asp HTML Canvas tutorial on W3Schools])

	~~var~~ canvas = ~~document~~.~~getElementById('dom_id'),~~		2. Find canvas id in browser inspector:
	~~dataUrl =~~ canvas.~~toDataURL()~~,		<pre lang="html">
	~~imageFoo = document~~.~~createElement~~(~~'img'~~);		<canvas id="myCanvas" width="270" height="160" style=" ... ">
			Your browser does not support the canvas element.
	~~imageFoo.src = dataUrl;~~		</canvas>
			</pre>

			In this example, the canvas element has an id of "myCanvas"

			3. Open Developer Tools (e.g. [https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/open Open Chrome DevTools] on {{Chrome}})

			3-1 Switch to Console

	~~// Style your~~ image ~~here~~		3-2 Paste this JavaScript code:
	~~imageFoo~~.style.width = '~~800px~~';		<pre lang="javascript">
	~~imageFoo~~.style.height = '~~600px~~';		function downloadCanvas(canvasId, filename = 'canvas-image.png') {
			const canvas = document.getElementById(canvasId);
			const dataUrl = canvas.toDataURL();
			const image = document.createElement('img');

			image.src = dataUrl;
			image.style.width = canvas.width + 'px';
			image.style.height = canvas.height + 'px';

	// ~~After you are done styling it, append it to the BODY element~~		const downloadUrl = dataUrl.replace('image/png', 'application/octet-stream');
	// document.~~body~~.~~appendChild~~(~~imageFoo~~);		const link = document.createElement('a');
			link.download = filename;
			link.href = downloadUrl;
			link.click();

			return image;
			}
			</pre>

	~~var url~~ = '~~data:application/octet~~-~~stream~~' ~~+ dataUrl;~~		3-2 Execute download function:
	~~window.open(url~~);		<pre lang="javascript">
			downloadCanvas('myCanvas', 'my-image.png');
	</pre>		</pre>

	~~Testing result~~:		Notes:
	* ~~Recommend using [https~~:~~//www~~.~~mozilla~~.~~org/zh-TW/firefox/ Firefox Quantum] not~~ Chrome		* Function name: Keep downloadCanvas unchanged unless you're comfortable with JavaScript
			* Parameters:
			** canvasId: Must match the canvas id in HTML (e.g. 'myCanvas')
			** filename: Optional, customize the download filename

			== Tested browser version ==
			* Google {{Chrome}} v. 132.0.6834.160
			* Microsoft {{Edge}} v. 132.0.2957.140
