How to draw on CanvasItem, then save image as PNG

w7x

I draw on a custom control derived from TextureRect (which derives from CanvasItem) and all works very well, but I can't see how I can save the fruits of my labour as a PNG image.

My custom control could derive from something else, I only chose TextureRect because it seemed to have all I need. In truth I just need a blank canvas to draw on, and I wish to preserve the picture drawn as PNG on the file system.

Where did I go wrong?

I don't know what went wrong, but the Image class has a save_png method.

You can use TextureRect.texture to get the texture, then you can use the get_data() method of the Texture to get the Image. Then you can use Image.save_png("user://image.png") to save the png in user folder for instance.
