I have a page where I am using Raphael.js to actually allow user to move a dot around the canvas which has a background image. What I am trying to do is to capture the end image of the canvas where I'll be able to see where the user placed the dot after the user clicks on a 'confirm position' button. I've thought of two methods, however I am not too sure of how to execute them.

Method 1: Just capture the canvas as an image. Somehow this isn't possible with Javascript alone and I'm not too sure if Raphael has a built in function to allow this. I also read about exporting the svg xml file and pass it through the a library like 'Batik' however I'm not exactly sure how to do that. The tutorials I've read are really confusing.

Method 2: To use the coordinates of the dot and overlay a dot image that I already have onto the background image and save it as an image.

Please advice and I hope I've been clear.
