I was looking for a way to save the image, so I found this sample code.
I run it,
but no file were saved on my hard drive.
What am I missing?
int x = 0;
void draw() {
background(204);
if (x \< 100)
{
line(x, 0, x, 100);
x = x + 1;
}
else
{
noLoop();
}
// Saves each frame as line-000001.png, line-000002.png, etc.
saveFrame(“line-######.png”);
}

missing setup() ?
This works here:
```auto
int x = 0;
void setup() {
size(660, 770);
}
void draw() {
background(204);
if (x < 100)
{
line(x, 0, x, 100);
x = x + 1;
} else
{
noLoop();
}
// Saves each frame as line-000001.png, line-000002.png, etc.
saveFrame("line-######.png");
}
```

Thanks. Will try it.
Where would the files be saved?
Can I change it?

in processing type CTRL-k to open the sketch folder
it’s in this folder

**Quote**
- Alternatively, the files can be saved to any location on the computer by using an absolute path (something that starts with / on Unix and Linux, or a drive letter on Windows).
see [saveFrame() \ Language (API) \ Processing 3+](https://www.processing.org/reference/saveFrame_.html)

**Here is an example**
Here is an example to use the Sketch Path and make a new sub-folder in it
```auto
// Saves each frame as line-000001.png, line-000002.png, etc.
saveFrame(sketchPath("")+"my/"+"line-######.png");
```
hey, and welcome to the forum!
Great to have you here!
regards, Chrisir 😉

yeah something like
`"f:\\..."` in Windows
This works for D in Windows
```auto
// Saves each frame as line-000001.png, line-000002.png, etc.
saveFrame("D:\\"
+"my/"
+"line-######.png");
```

I wrote "f:\process\… "
And it worked 🙂
Thank you so much
Now I can really start playing with this cool tool
