Yes, that function does make a image.  But the problem is it ONLY makes the visible part of drawable widget.  That is, if you have bigger area than displayed area or you move the window to the corner so just the part of window would be shown, converted image is ONLY from what you can see NOT whole drawable!! =(  Is there a way I can make that works so I can get whole image?
