The only way I know to do that programmatically is to dump the canvas image 
as a postscript file using the "postscript" method on canvases, then use an 
external utility to convert the postscript to jpeg or png.
If you want to do that, there's an almost universal image conversion 
utility named "convert" that's part of ImageMagick 
(http://www.imagemagick.org), that runs almost everywhere.
