Using the Button

You can save your drawing as a PNG file by clicking the "Save Canvas" button. Just be sure to provide the image with a file name. The image will save in your project's current working directory (most likely the same folder as your code).

save_canvas() Function

If you want to programmatically save the canvas, you can use the save_canvas() function. 

easy_draw.save_canvas()

The function does launch the a dialog to enter the file's name.

If you want to use the save_canvas() function without launching the dialog each time, you must provide a file name to save the image as. 

easy_draw.save_canvas("my_pic")

The image file will save as a .png
