How can we create an WB project schematic image similar to those created by ExportReport()?

A project schematic image is created when executing the ExportReport() method (workbench scripting). This image is located in a folder with the same name as the report name (+ _images) and in the same directory. How can we though generate this or similar image but without executing the ExportReport() method?

The way to do that is to use system.drawing and bitmap class. An example is given below (change as needed):

import time
import clr
import os
import sys
clr.AddReference("System.Windows.Forms")
clr.AddReference("System.Drawing")

from System.Drawing import Bitmap,Graphics,Point,Size
time.sleep(3)
bmp = Bitmap(1920, 1200)  # User defined image size
g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)
g.CopyFromScreen(0,0, 0, 0, Size((1920), (1200)))
bmp.Save('D:/myrep.png')
