Hi,
We've discussed adding image reading and writing functionality in the
past. Something on the order of Java2D's Image I/O. Doing it right would
be a large project, and would be more than just adding a couple methods
to JavaFX Image. Unless and until we do that, using the SwingFXUtils to
produce a BufferedImage from a JavaFX Image is the recommended approach.

Hello
My first contribution to this mailing list... ;-)
During an experiment with FXGL on the Raspberry Pi + Gluon JavaFX 17-ea, it
turned out there was a missing dependency to javafx.swing.

Turns out SwingFXUtils was used in the FXGL library only to be able to save a
screenshot of the application to a file and we were able to rework it as you can see
here:

I researched this topic for a few hours, but didn't manage to find a good
approach to save a JavaFX Image. Maybe I missed something? Or wouldn't it be a
good idea to extend the JavaFX Image or BufferedImage with e.g.
writeToFile(ImageFormat.PNG), writeToFile(ImageFormat.JPG)?
