Saving Images

To save an image in processing, you can use the command save().

void save(String filename)

• Saves an image with the specified filename

• You must include an extension for the image type, such as .png or .jpg

Code:

save("myRobotDude.png");

Note that the file will keep overwriting itself. However, you could use a variable as part or all of the filename. For example:

Code:

save(userName + ".png");

This can be combined with conditionals, loops, and other commands to do things like:

• Save an image if the mouse is pressed

• Save an image when the game ends

• Save a series of images, making a new an image once every 30 seconds

Finding your Sketch folder

The image will automatically be saved to your sketch folder.

To find your sketch folder without browsing the computer, do the following:

• From the menu bar, select Sketch

  • Under the drop down select Show Sketch Folder
    or

• Press the hotkey "CTRL-K"
