Export plots as SVG (whiteboxTools)

[CarlosGrohmann]

Some tools produce nice interactive SVG plots on HTML outputs (profile, SlopeVsElevationPlot, etc).
It would be really handy to be able to save these outputs directly to SVG for further editing or to export the current plot from the HTML.

Agreed, this would be a nice feature and there have been times in the past where I would have benefited from being able to isolate the SVG (e.g. to embed in presentations). I anticipate the problem being that each of those tools don't have a large block of SVG code directly, but rather they have javascript functions that create the SVG dynamically; that's why each of the graphs are themselves dynamic (e.g., when you place the cursor over a data point, it highlights it). I'm sure there is a work around to output the SVG of a static graph from the tools, but I'll need to think more on how, and where (e.g. from the tool directly or from the HTML output), to do that.

Fantastic! I personally wouldn't mid if the SVG has ALL elements (curves, points etc), maybe one layer for each kind or even one for each raster being plotted.
Side note: I noticed that RasterHistogram has a button to copy the svg code to the clipboard, couldn't this be just a "save" button? I'm not sure when it would be preferred to have the plot as the text-version of the svg instead of just the svg file.
