How do I copy the entire viewport to a Drawing Canvas?

Hi, I want to 'screencap' my game's viewport during runtime and copy it over to a Drawing Canvas object.

In a nutshell: press a button, game sticks the current frame onto a Drawing Canvas instantly.

I want to do this so I can stick the screen to a certain frame and then manipulate the pixels on the Drawing Canvas to create an effect.

Any help appreciated.

You can make a snapshot (System action). Then load this snapshot into a sprite. Then paste the sprite onto a canvas.

I don't know why DrawingCanvas doesn't support loading images directly, so that's the only way.

This is what I eventually settled on. My whole thing with snapshotting was that there's still the buffer of snapshotting and then loading an image from URL, which can take a bit on lower-end systems from my experience.

Thanks.
