Re^6: Which tk to use and how to show images?

It would be nice if there was a Canvas method for dumping the image it renders, into the various graphic formats. I realise that you can query the pels and could format them up yourself, or import thme back into a GD object for outputting as an image, but that would be very slow.

There is Tk::WinPhoto, which captures to various formats. It has a few drawbacks, one of which is being slow. There is also a win32 version now Tk::WinPhoto for ActiveState. I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. flash japh	[reply]

Well, there is: $canvas->postscript(...), but it tends to be imperfect -- especially dealing with fonts. It looks as though this is a future option for Zinc as well, but it isn't there yet.	[reply]

The postscript option is okay if your wanting to print it, but not so great of you want to incorporate the graph into a web page or slide etc. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

You could always use Image::Magick to do a conversion I've never had a need to that myself, but it doesn't seem to tough from the API. Also, another interesting post on dumping to PDF: I also seem to vaguely recall that there are one or two other options on Win32, but can't remember.	[reply]
