_why and shoemakers, I got a cool idea from the Shoes programming course of RubyLearning.org.
It's the screenshot feature like this: Shoes.app do ball = oval 0, 0, 10 animate{|i| ball.move i, i} timer 3 do screenshot './pic_in_3_sec.png' end end We can get the screenshot of Shoes canvas (meaning without window frame) as the png format image data file named pic_in_3_sec.png on the current directory! :-D I don't know if it is feasible. It might be a stupid idea. But, really wish! :) Regards, ashbb
