Description

Under "Download PNG" on the Graphs tab it would be nice to have a "Download DOT" option (or TikZ) for when writing academic papers with LaTeX.

I imagine all currently open scopes under "Main Graph" would be included, and the user would manually open those of interest before downloading (much like how Download PNG works today, although I imagine that just saves a HTML5 canvas or something because it also includes the red border highlight which I believe is a bug?).

Research direction

Start at the Graphs tab and inspect the existing Download PNG flow. Trace how the currently open scopes under Main Graph are collected, then determine how an export option should represent them as DOT or TikZ. Done means a user can download the open graph scopes in one of those formats for use in a LaTeX paper.
