How do I save an Image object to file???

[Oxymoron]

Hi all,

I have this line of code:

RepaintManager manager = RepaintManager.currentManager(component);
Image myImg= manager.getOffscreenBuffer(component, compWidth, compHeight);

which captures a screen dump (as-it-were) of a swing component.

I want to save this image ideally to a microsoft word template file.
Is there any way of doing this??
If not, how would i go about saving a .jpg, etc

Any and all comments welcome.
Thanks all

Oxymoron,

To save to a word specific format you will need an additional library. There is a library just for this on teh Apache Jakarta site. It is called POI, I believe. You can use this product to same content into word format with the extension "DOT" with is a word document template.

Good luck,
