Dynamic Image Snapshot

I have a dynamic slider bar that has the slider position adjusted based on a formula result in my form. Once this is created, I would like to have a snapshot of the image taken and saved as a file attachment. I'm fine with having to push a button to save the image or something along those lines and assume some coding would be required, but don't know where to even begin with this. My ultimate goal is to get this image populated into a file created using the Exact Forms Plus add-on.

    Can you explain how the image is generated?  Can we just save the values which create the image, as a start?

      Mark,

      Here is the formula inside my Formula - Rich Text field that creates and displays the image. 

      var text marker = "IMAGE URL";
      var text scalebar = "IMAGE URL";

      var number markerpos = [Rank]/[Total];

      "<div>" &
      "<img src=\"" & $scalebar & "\"; style='height:20px; width:275px; position:absolute; z-index:1'/>" &
      "<img src=\"" & $marker & "\"; style='height:20px; width:5px; position:relative; left:" & $markerpos & "px; z-index:2'/>" &
      "</div>"

    If you are using the Juiced Exact Plus Forms Add On have you tried pointing the image identifier at this field.

    I believe the format would be

    i:123:400

    that means to look at the image in field 123 and set the width to be 400.
