Save Image?

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Save Image?

I must be really dense here, but I want to make a screenshot and save it to disk. BlitzPlus had SaveImage but Max doesn't? So if I grab an image from the backbuffer and want to save it, how would you recommend I do this? Thanks. P.S. I used to save as bitmap, but would prefer PNG if possible.

Grey Alien, There's an example code here from my tutorial. Scroll down to Function SaveAnimation.

Has someone written a function to save images as jpg, yet?

Thanks TonyG. Can't get it to work... 1.18 :/ "C:/Programme/BlitzMax/mod/brl.mod/jpgloader.mod/jpgloader.release.win32.x86.a(jpgloader.bmx.release.win32.x86.o.b)(code+0x311): undefined reference to `savejpg'" "SavePixmapJPG" from BRL would be great!

Isn't there the old JPEG licence issue to content with?
