Yes, I realised I was incomplete in my question.

I still cannot get this to work. I get the idea that this code is used to 
dump a png file ON a raster, and not the other way around.
There is a function  " pixmap.save(filename); ", but I have not been able 
to translate my colormodel and Zoomraster into the pixmap.

Maybe the intention of this code was to load the actual created-by-swarm- 
during-simulation png file into a pixmap, and display it again. If this is 
so, could you than explain to me where these temporarily created images 
are stored?

 
Here folows a litte piece of the code in the given sample which I thought 
most relevant.
Help would be very welkome (, since I'm getting quite frustrated).
And thanx for the help aready given, ofcourse.

Albert.

Colormap colormap = new ColormapImpl (getZone ());

Raster r = new RasterImpl (getZone ());
r.setWindowTitle ("My raster");
r.setWidth$Height (200, 200);
r.erase ();
r.setColormap (colormap);
r.pack ();         

PixmapC pixmapC = new PixmapCImpl (new PixmapImpl ());         
pixmapC.createBegin (getZone ());
String appDir = Globals.env.arguments.getAppDataPath ();         
pixmapC.setDirectory (appDir);
pixmapC.setFile ("ant.png");
Pixmap pixmap = (Pixmap) pixmapC.createEnd ();
pixmap.setRaster (r);         
pixmap.drawX$Y (50, 50);
