[Tkinter-discuss] How to export the image drawn by canvas?

[Lion Kimbro]

  I don't believe there's a function.

  I've read about people making functions that save a postscript [1], and
open a command shell to instruct ImageMagick to conver it, and I've read
about people using software that bridges tkinter with PIL [2].

  As for storing animations, I've never heard of people doing that with
tkinter.
