Feature Request: Add RPlotExporter Images to Html Exporter

[Eddie-Hartman]

I'm new to this project and enjoying it so far.

It seems to me like a possible low hanging fruit to add an option that when you are exporting both HTML and RPlot to add the ability to include the images in the HTML as relative links. This makes it really easy to see a lot of the data in one location along with the visualizations you've created.

I've seen the ability to customize exporting options and possibly there is more to what's already customizable that this is a possibility already but just requires a bit more work from the users? If so, point me in the right direction.

Otherwise, please consider it for inclusion in the next release.

Hi @Eddie-Hartman

I like your idea, but I am afraid that we won't have time to implement it ourselves. Would you like to help us a bit and send a PR?

Thanks!

First of all thanks to @Eddie-Hartman for helping out in the first steps on this issue.

I have been working on this for a while and would like to propose two approaches to generating this exporter. Before presenting the options, I need to clarify that the implementation of this feature can follow two different ways:

1. Address this as a single, standalone case for integrating RPlot and HTML exporters.
2. Develop a generalized logic for all types of integrated exporters, allowing them to be merged if needed.

If the first approach is preferred, we can simply add a parameter to the RPlotExporter.
If the second approach is preferred, I think a new exporter, named IntegratedExporter, would be needed. This exporter would accept the types of exporters and handle the logic for exporting them.

I would appreciate a feedback on which approach would be best.
