How can I SaveBuffer() with blitzmax?

See GrabPixmap and SavePixmapPNG.

GfK, I have looked over the documentation. Can you provide an example of this in use?

Well, both commands are documented. Grabpixmap is used to grab the entire screen (or a portion of) into a pixmap. Savepixmappng saves the pixmap to a specified file, in png format.

Got it! :D Can I save in a different image format besides png? What image formats are supported? Sorry, im very used to saving images in blitzbasic and have no experience doing so in blitzmax. Thanks GfK! :D

Well, theres also Savepixmapjpeg but png is a lossless format so thats generally what i use.
