import {ThreeViewer, CanvasSnapshotPlugin} from 'threepipe'

const viewer = new ThreeViewer({...})

const snapshotPlugin = viewer.addPluginSync(new CanvasSnapshotPlugin())

// download a snapshot.
await snapshotPlugin.downloadSnapshot('image.webp', { // all parameters are optional
  scale: 1, // scale the final image
  timeout: 0, // wait before taking the snapshot, in ms
  quality: 0.9, // quality of the image (0-1) only for jpeg and webp
  displayPixelRatio: 2, // render scale 
  mimeType: 'image/webp', // mime type of the image
  waitForProgressive: true, // wait for progressive rendering to finish (ProgressivePlugin). true by default
  rect: { // region to take snapshot. eg. crop center of the canvas
    height: viewer.canvas.clientHeight / 2,
    width: viewer.canvas.clientWidth / 2,
    x: viewer.canvas.clientWidth / 4,
    y: viewer.canvas.clientHeight / 4,
  },
})

// get data url (string)
const dataUrl = await snapshotPlugin.getDataUrl({ // all parameters are optional
  displayPixelRatio: 2, // render scale 
  mimeType: 'image/webp', // mime type of the image
})

// get File
const file = await snapshotPlugin.getFile('file.jpeg', { // all parameters are optional
