using .lineTo(x,y) and .moveTo(x,y) i have created an image and i would like to save that image as a separate .bmp or .gif or .jpeg (format is not really important). Is there some way that i could acheive this? and would it involve calculating the color of every pixel?

thank you kindly for any advice you can offer.
