If you make a compound graphic object in LC, say a rectangle and some colored text box and group them together, can you export this from LC? If you can, what formats can you export as? I was hoping to use LC to create a splash screen but it must be in .png format (this is for iOS). Thanks for you help.

Read 'Export Snapshot' in the dictionary...

export snapshot from group "XXX" to file "XXX.png" as PNG

and the picture will end up in your default folder.

Frankly writing that line saves you the time of
having to look up 'export snapshot' in the dictionary.

You can also export from a defined rectangle . . .

You can take a screen shot from within the iOS simulator (command S). You might find that to be an easier way to create your splash screen.

No explanation about that little gem... might as well read what the dictionary has to say about 'export snapshot' then, eh !... Save time in the long run !
