Hi Fela,

Umm... I think there is no feature in Shoes so far, sorry.

As i5m mentioned, you may want to use `snapshot` method. Yes, it works. But
there are two big restrictions so far.
Look at a tiny note:
http://github.com/ashbb/shoes_hack_note/blob/master/md/hack018.md

BTW. Why do you need to save raw pixel data?
Can I look at your turtle graphics code?

This is mine for learning metaprogramming and DSL:

Although it may be different from what you want to do. :-P

I wanted to allow the user to save their creations to file. I will try to see 
if I can get anything done with the _snapshot method

the branch I'm working in is:

Fela,

I see.
I looked through your code quickly:
http://github.com/fela/hacketyhack/blob/turtle-script/h-ety-h/turtlescript.rb

And thought about `saving their creations`.

Why not save their code (DSL) like turtle_barbwire.rb instead of image file?
http://github.com/fela/hacketyhack/blob/turtle-script/samples/turtle_barbwire.rb

If you implement save/load DSL function, we can exchange our DSLs easily and
run them with our own Hackety Hack. :)

The code can already be exchanged using the hackety-hack website, what I
wanted to do was to be able to share nice images created, with your grandma
or other people that don't want to install HH.. Saving to pdf worked just
fine, thanks (png in not supported right?)

We use libgif in shoes, I'm sure that there'd be some fairly easy way to add
support for exporting to a .gif...

Something to look into.

we need an object.snapshot method, could be as simple as taking _snapshot's
source and modifying it to take the snapshot from the object's left, top to
left+width, top+height

Hi devyn,

Looks good!
I don't come up with how to implement the idea right now, though. :-P

Hey ashbbb -

Fela is adding a turtle graphics DSL for Hackety! You can look at his branch
at HTTP://github.com/Fela/hacketyhack to see how It's going...
