Neither does mine, it seems, but ...

  ph = TkPhotoImage.new('format'=>'gif','data'=>@hjgjkgjg) #nonsense data
gives this (inspect):
  #<TkPhotoImage:0x8fc93f0 @path="i00000", @type="photo">

So it "seems" to work, but ...
  ph = TkPhotoImage.new('format'=>'gif', 'data'=>@can) #data: my canvas
leads to: "couldn't recognize image data". Same for 'data'=>@can.path

I'm confused once more ...

Thanks for your continued support!
Cheers, Ralf.
