Hi Ganesh,
It should be possible to capture an image of a chart using the same mechanism used internally by the platform for the "Save as image" feature on report definition charts, though it is complicated and does not solve your requirement of downloading the image to the client or including the whole form.
The JS rule pzPega_chart_export_fusionchart defines a function pega.report.fusionexport.svgToImage, which takes the ID of an <svg> element and returns an <input> element which contains a data URL representing the chart in PNG format. You can append this input element to a form and submit it to the server, where you might be able to use the data URL in an img element in an email. This process uses the canvg library, so you’ll need to include that JS file as well.
