bitmap_save

procedureSource

Writes bitmap to an image file. Returns false for any other extension, for a bitmap that is not RGB8 or RGBA8, or when the write fails.

filepath: where to write. The extension picks the format: .png, .bmp, .tga, .jpg or .jpeg.
save_alpha: keeps the alpha channel of an RGBA8 bitmap. Off by default, which writes RGB.

Example

bitmap: Bitmap;
bitmap_alloc(*bitmap, 16, 16, .RGB8);
defer deinit(*bitmap);
bitmap_save(*bitmap, "out.png");
