Description

Remove Plotly.Snapshot.toImage and its implementation in src/snapshot/toimage.js.

Why should this change be made?

  • Plotly.toImage replaced it in 2016 (642ddba)
  • The old function has no caller under src/ and no test coverage

Scope

  • Delete src/snapshot/toimage.js
  • Update/remove the existing references (src/snapshot/index.js:11, devtools/test_dashboard/devtools.js:86, src/snapshot/svgtoimg.js)

Notes

  • This is a breaking change, so save it for the next major release
  • This removes a public API through exports.Snapshot in src/core.js
  • We could add a deprecation notice first
