J-, If you're using LV7 or higher, there is a new VI called "Picture to Pixmap.vi". It can be found under Graphics & Sound >> Picture Functions.
I've used it and it works quite well.

I know about using an Invoke Node and the Get Image method, but that's not what I'm after. It's easy enough to draw stuff outside the visible area of a picture control and Get Image won't capture that. I've got limited screen space to display the image I'm building but I'd like to save all the data to an image file for the end user to do with as they please. I could just make a sub-VI with a humongous picture control and save the image, but that lacks elegance. Has anyone found a better way? Thanks, Jason -- Jason Corwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] (858) 592-4025
