I am wondering if Solvent can be used to scrape a graphic from a web
page. If it can, I'll follow up with the technical details of what I
have done, because so far, I could not get it to work. But since this is
the first time I've tried using it, I don't know if I am not using it
properly, or if it isn't capable of grabbing an entire graphic from a
page and saving it. Thanks.

Piggy Bank doesn't store binary data, but you could scrape the URL of a
graphic with Solvent and have your scraper save that for later reference.
The URL stays the same but the graphic that is stored there changes one
to three times a day. I would like to save off the graphics and the
accompanying text below the graphic, and build a database locally so
they could be accessed by date and time. Can Solvent do this and maybe
not use Piggy Bank and just save the graphic and text directly to a
local directory?
