Anyone here worked on converting a Canvas to ImageBitmap and saving it in a Compose Multiplatform project? Tips or code snippets would be a lifesaver! Thanks!

Hey, @Javokhir Savriev

If I understand correctly, you can achieve this simply by using Canvas(imgBitmap).

On the other hand, if you want to convert a Painter drawn on a Canvas to an ImageBitmap, you can write it as follows:

fun Painter.toImageBitmap(width: Int, height: Int): ImageBitmap {
    val imgBitmap = ImageBitmap(width, height)

    Canvas(imgBitmap).apply {
        CanvasDrawScope().draw(
            density = Density(1f, 1f),
            layoutDirection = LayoutDirection.Ltr,
            canvas = imgBitmap,
            size = Size(width.toFloat(), height.toFloat())
        )
    }

    return imgBitmap
}

For saving, you can check the implementation of Coil or Kamel libraries.

I have a Canvas in my Compose project that allows users to draw lines using drawLine. Now, I’m looking for a way to capture and save the content of this Canvas. Any tips or examples on how to efficiently capture the drawn lines and possibly save them as an image? Your insights would be really helpful!
Thanks!
