RE: updating from 1.4.1 to 2.2.x

This isn't the most elegant solution, but if you are running under Unix/Linux 
and can arrange to give the window a constant name, just use "import" in a 
system call.  (IIRC, the name of the window is just the string that appears in 
the title bar.  At least it was under Tcl/Tk.  I would guess it's the same 
under Java.)  I.e.,

                system("import -window MyWindowName output.gif"); /* 
output.jpeg would work, too */

If you want to create a series of images as part of a run, just prepare the 
string using sprintf to append a number to the name of the output file:

                char command[256];
                sprintf (command, "import -window MyWindowName output-%d.gif", 
someIndex++);
                system(command);

Cheers,
 
Jason

        The Pixmap experience you have reflects my own. It causes a general
        spasm of the PC and doing moment-by-moment snapshots is not workable. I
        do use gui pictures to get occasional pictures.
