So far i've grabbed that html file and the exportMap.js file. The issue i'm having is that it won't export the WMS layers, although it will export vector layers.

So it'll automatically pass over that first if statement, and also layer.canvas is also undefined there so it'll pass over the next if statement as well. Meaning that the layer won't get passed through to the draw canvas. Like I said it works for vectors, just not the others. Is there any reason why these 2 properties (useCanvas and canvas) are both undefined? am I missing a reference to something?

This sandbox also includes code for displaying tiles using canvas. And
it looks like only WMS layers that use canvas with the
ONECANVASPERLAYER mode can be exported.


Hope it helps,
