Re: How to save something in a Java Applet as an IMAGE file?

We have a parametric CAD system which runs as a Java applet. To save drawings, it can try to do a local save, so we have the option to 'Save via server' in which case the applet POSTs the data to a cgi program on the web server and opens up a new window to handle the response. The file can then be saved from the web browser. Check out http://www.dtonline.org/apps/object/app.exe?1&2&1&1&10&2&0 The cgi program is written in C, but an equivalent could be knocked up in PHP in a few minutes. If you really need to email the drawing, then you could get the PHP program to email the drawing as an attachment instead.
