Can you fit a really big dashboard in one .png?

I have fabricated a model that has a really long dashboard that features a beginning marker at its top and an end marker at the bottom:

beginning-up-top.png

end-at-the-bottom.png

I am trying to export its contents in entirety in 1 png. Even though I resize the window to contain all the contents of the dashboard, and give FlexSim a bit of time to render it, the resulting png features an unrendered portion that covers "The End" static text:

long-dash.png

// Resize window
windowmove(windowfromnode(view_node), view_x, view_y, dashboard_width, dashboard_length);
// Give time for rendering
await Delay.realTime(0.5);
// Export the view
viewtofile(view_node, "long_dash.png", dashboard_width, dashboard_length);

Is it an issue that can be solved on the level of FlexSim?

I am attaching the said model:

Can you use the html export? That will give you the whole dashboard. The file export is limited by the screen size it seems.

I had a hunch that it was something outside of FlexSim's realm of control but figured I'd ask anyway. Seems like using the .html export is the way to go in such circumstance. Thanks!
