Saves scripted charts as image files in the names of the location and file name specified.

Notes:

This function only creates the file so that other methods can access the graph and then display it in a report, and or browser.

When specifying destination paths where the file is to be saved, it is recommended the path be created using the test-object property: resultsReportPath. This property identifies the the current test folder path and folder name where the other test report images and data are being saved, and it provides a convenient method for referencing the destination of where to place a file, and then later in the script where to access the file when it is time to display it in a report or browser.
