Maybe you can describe why you wanna do that. Do you wanna store a copy of screen as PGraphic object? By the way this will truly slow done if you do this in every frame.

I want that for a drawingpogramm!

When you clic and move the mouse the cursor draw on the picture and when you release the mouse the picture is saved to reload later in the programm! SO with the frameSave() application all was good. I save the picture on a name and I can reload with loadImage()

The problem is that its not allowed to save the frame on a other file when we later export! I need to save the frame juste in a variable of the programm!
With PGraphics should be a solution but I can't find how to save the frame on a variable and how to load it later!

I try it too with loadPixel and pixels but nothings is saved with this solution!

Do you have an other possibility??

Thanks

PImage save=get();

That'll put the current screen contents into a PImage which you can later put back onto the screen or whatever you want.
