As I am inside a corporate network, I do not want to use any third party website to take screenshot, so I wanted to take screenshot using program(PHP).

I wanted to take a screenshot of a D3 C3 chart which are generated under iFrame.

I tried html2canvas to take screenshot, but sadly its not capturing the iFrame, After a research I found html2canvas can not take screenshot for iFrames.

Requirement: 1. Chart.php - generates charts using D3, C3. 2. Capture.php - should take screenshot of Chart.php's charts & save it.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
