Export as PNG or JPEG or any image

Hi

this is truly an awesome package.

qq: is there a way to export the generated output to image please? I want to post it to Slack using code, unfortunately, as Text it loses all highlights and formatting.

thanks
Roh

Hi @Roh-codeur

Thanks! I am glad it is being useful :)

Do you mean generate a PNG from the terminal output?

@ronisbr : hey mate, thanks for coming back. yeah indeed, I have a beautiful output generated using PrettyTables.jl. I want to be able to export this output to png, so I can send this to Slack.

ta!

In this case, we need some external tool that renders the escape sequences into a PNG. I did this in the past using a combination of aha, wkhtmltopdf, and convert. However, it was so complicated that the best way is just to take a screenshot of your terminal.

I am closing this bug since this feature should be handled outside PrettyTables.jl.
