Saving P-Chart as an Image

I want to save my P-Charts as images instead of html files. I'm doing this through an application I am writing. Here is how I generate the P-Chart.

dtP = Control Chart(invisible,
	Sample Label( :ReleaseMonth ),
	Phase( :Phase ),
	Sample Size( :Name( "Sum-Total" ) ),
	KSigma( 3 ),
	Chart Col( :OnTimePct, P( Phase Level( "1" ), Phase Level( "2" ) ) )
);
dtpr = dtp << report;

This is what I've done so far:

 

dtpr << saveHTML( thePath || "P_Chart.html" ); // This worked to save the HTML and associated image file

dtpr << SaveImage( thePath || "P_Chart.jpg", jpg ); // This didn't save anything

dtpr << SavePDF( thePath || "P_Chart.pdf" ); // I tried to see what would happen if I tried saving as a PDF. The PDF file saved, but there was a blank PDF chart (i.e. no data was displayed)

 

I looked at the scripting guide and it appears you can only use the SaveImage when you ALREADY have an image.

 

Questions:

1. Can you save a P-Chart as a image?
2. Is there a way to get the name of the image file that is generated when an HTML is created?

 

I ask because the ultimate goal is to use another tool (SSIS) to save the image into a database and then retrieve it for use on a dashboard that has other charts from other sources.
