Export Snapshot

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Graham,

export snapshot from rect (the rect of control x) to myVar as JPEG
set the text of img y to myVar

However, since you're exporting an image, why don't you put img x into img y?

You could also use the import snapshot command, which creates a new image.

A variable isn't an image, after all - and yet the snapshot is nothing but a bitmap really. I know there are other ways of creating images extracted from existing displays (I'm using one of them quite successfully) but export snapshot seems so neat.
