Exporting Images in JPG, PNG and SVG

Starting from v0.2.0, you can now export your cytoscape graphs using callbacks.
The following app shows this new feature in action:

from dash import Dash, dcc, html, Input, Output, ctx, callback
import dash_cytoscape as cyto

# enable svg export
cyto.load_extra_layouts()

app = Dash(__name__)
server = app.server
