Writing javafx.scene.image.Image to file?

Question

How would I go about writing a javafx.scene.image.Image image to a file. I know you can use ImageIO on BufferedImages but is there any way to do it with a javafx Image?

Answer 1

Just convert it to a BufferedImage first, using javafx.embed.swing.SwingFXUtils:

Image image = ... ; // javafx.scene.image.Image
String format = ... ;
File file = ... ;
ImageIO.write(SwingFXUtils.fromFXImage(image, null), format, file);
