Description
Description
As plotly.js, the underlying library that Plotly.NET is using needs an environment that can execute javascript to render images programmatically.
https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-dotnet seems to be another stable, mature option for automating tasks on a headless browser.

Research direction
Start by reading src/Plotly.NET.ImageExport/PuppeteerSharpRenderer.fs, the referenced implementation for image export. Use it to understand the expected renderer shape before investigating the playwright-dotnet API. Done means a comparable ImageExport renderer is available for playwright-dotnet and the existing image-export behavior remains supported.
