What do you think about an Figure.export() method. I'm not sure because Figure.renderer.snapshot() exists, and then users can use their preferred library for saving that RGBA array to an image. And if they want to deal with the alpha channel in a special way they can do that. But I often see people searching the docs for "save" and "save figure" . We can have a simple Figure.export() imageio that takes the snapshot and does stuff in a default way? Just saves it to an png, or a jpg by stripping the alpha channel?
