I have been making a drawing input system based on Nesa's patch demonstrated on forum post:

This works by simply not erasing previous renders so that movement of a .gl object draws on the screen.

What I want to do is export the resulting image from a Jit.window to file.

I know that this can be done if the drawing is done directly to a matrix which then outputs to the Jit.window for the display, and then send the message - exportimage to save the file, but at full screen the potentially large 4 char matrix greatly affects performance.

It would be better for only the final drawing to be sent to the matrix so that it can be exported and the rendering done direct to the jit.window.

My initial thoughts were to simply change the render destination but this doesn't transfer over the what has already been rendered.

Does anybody have any ideas how to do this?

basically you use gl.render's to_texture message to capture to a texture. then you use gl.texture's tomatrix message to render the texture to a matrix.

also, check out the helpfile for jit.gl.asyncread. It was made

explicitly for copying OpenGL (i.e. jit.window) output directly to a
