Description

I'm not 100% if this is client-side or server-side. The original purpose of NetsBlox/services#64 will be harder to demonstrate to students without this working right.

Example (the chart is generated correctly, but getVariable returns a blank costume):
image

The image data is definitely sent from the server and is returned, although I'm not sure the format it's returned in is correct.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the chart example and tracing the CloudVariables getVariable response across the client and server. Compare the returned image data with the format expected for a costume; done means the generated image is returned and displayed rather than as a blank costume.
