WritableImage)`. @johanvos Did you happen to see my proposal to use the software renderer to provide a Canvas#GraphicsContext like API for writable images? Snapshot is a nice feature, but it feels like a rather roundabout way to first use the GPU to draw things, then copy it back to main memory for pixel manipulation or say PDF creation... See here: https://www.mail-archive.com/openjfx-dev@openjdk.org/msg20618.html I'm curious what you think of the proposal (and I'm curious if the headless platform would need to support it or interfere with it :)) ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/1836#issuecomment-3076464229
