Cannot copy Graphics.

[Guest]

I notice that it is almost impossible to save a Graphics Object to a file, eg bmp.
What is the reason for this, will there ever be an upgrade???

The Graphics object is write only as far as that goes.

The GDI+ FAQ tells you how to do it using interop.

Why not draw to a bitmap directly and call its 'Save' method to save the
file? You can get a 'Graphics' object for a bitmap using
'Graphics.FromImage'.
