Hi!
Please assign this issue to me, I'll handle it.

As I see, there is no problem to convert QtGraphicsView to QPixMap and save on filesystem. I also found an entry point for this action - "Edit" menu setup code in main window. I spent some time digging how to reach QtGraphicsView from QtMainWindow, but don't have any significant result yet.
As I see, some actions are implemented by messages sending. If message should be dispatched, who should handle it?
Any advice will be highly appreciated.

This is where we use messages. Please add a new message type, dispatch it in QtMainWindow when the save action is triggered and listen on it in QtGraphicsView, which has access to the graph pixmap.

Okay, one more question.
There is already implemented QImage QtGraphicsView::toQImage() method which captures full graph to image and adds export notice. Also there is a parent QPixmap QGraphicsView::grab() method that captures that part of a graph, which is currently displayed (it can be a small part if graph is zoomed or graph is huge enough).
Which capturing should be used?

There already is a Save as Image option in the context menu of the Graph. This issue is about reusing this action, but trigger it from the Window menu. Just reuse the implementation of Save as Image from the context menu please.
