Hi Jeff, I did find the img::window which has pushed me further down the road. But, it leads me to some questions about trying to write a PNG or JPEG file of a canvas. When I do the writing, it seems that it can take 10 seconds or longer to complete and then there is only a partial drawing in the PNG file. So, here is the small code fragment I am trying...
my $img = Tkx::image_create_photo(-data => $mycanvas, -format => 'window'); $img = Tkx::widget->new($img); $img->write ($filename, -format => 'JPEG'); ... again it works so to speak. How do I get the entire visble canvas into the PNG? Or for that matter, how would I get the entire canvas, visible objects and not visible in the window, written to the PNG file? Any way to speed things up? I would like to not have to resort to IMAGEMAGICK and GHOSTSCRIPT if possible. I did try the postscript method of the canvas and that worked, but I had to use IMAGEMAGICK and GHOSTSCRIPT externally to convert to a PNG and that worked fine. However, PERLMAGICK has some issue with MSVCR90.DLL so I cannot try the conversion in line. Any thoughts, pointers, ideas, suggestions, enlightenments would be appreciated. thanks gaian, gary ________________________________ From: Jeff Hobbs <je...@activestate.com> To: gary sachs <conversecoroll...@yahoo.com> Cc: 'Tcl/ Tk Mailing List' <tcltk@perl.org> Sent: Thursday, May 3, 2012 2:26 PM Subject: Re: Img On 03/05/2012 5:28 AM, gary sachs wrote: > I am trying to take a canvas image and export it to a PNG or JPEG > file.

The latest ActivePerl should have the most of the Img subpackages embedded into tkkit.dll. Jeff
