Create, display, and save/export a plot/chart with .NET Core

Question

I want to create, display, and save/export (to PNG format, for example) a plot/chart in a .NET Core console application. What is the best way to do this?

I've tried XPlot.Plotly and XPlot.GoogleCharts. I can create charts and display them in the default browser, but cannot save them (programmatically).

With XPlot.Plotly I can create a PlotlyChart and then get its HTML string with the method GetHtml, but I haven't been able to convert it to an image format and save it.

FNU Plot (GNU Plot) has an option to save a file

gp.Set(output = Output(Png("test1.png")))
