How to save D3 graphs as images in django website?

I am new to Django and D3 . I have created a Django website that can create more than one dynamic d3 graph . I want to add a functionality where user can save the graphs as images so that they can use it for their reporting purposes .

I am using the following link as tutorials Also find my codes for reference

});


    </script>
</body>

From both save as buttons I am able to save first image only . I think I am not able to select d3/svg element properly .

Thanks

In your d3.select("#save1").on("click", your svg selector is wrong. This:

 var html = d3.select("svg")
   ...

will always select the first svg element on the page. You need something like:

var html = d3.select("#area2>svg")
  ...

Which will select the svg that's a child of your div with id of area2.

EDITS FOR COMMENTS

To set a background you need to "draw" it onto the canvas:

var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas2"),
  context.strokeStyle = "black";
context.rect(0,0,w,h);
context.fill();

Run the snippet above, I've added this to it.
